Just go to the NFL thread, and there is always a decent link to every game every week. And if any of the links are bad, people start complaining, and someone immediately posts a feed.

I didn't know that - I just went from the links on their Am. Football page. I'll check it out Sunday if they aren't on the TV. Thanks.

No problem, they usually have direct streams or TVAnts(which I dont like using, for no real reason) so it works out.

Also I'm sure you get plenty EPL, but in the US it's almost nothing, so I watch big soccer matches on p2p as well.

I live in Germany, and get the Armed Forces Network (AFN). They show 7-8 games a week, but when they don't broadcast the Redskins game, I buy the game from Yahoo. It's expensive - $19.99 per game, but that's a personal choice you'd have to make depending on if it's worth it to you or not.

It's expensive to some degree, but up until this season (when they lost their licensing or whatever) there was a company based out of Italy called Pontel, that was selling any NFL game on DVD (basically the show transferred to DVD with little more than a title menu added). They charged byt the disk or c. £135 for a season, including playoffs if your team made it. It would have worked out to about $250. It was the only way I could get a whole season of Skins games and now I can't even do that.

I got to ask, why can't the NFL offer up their archive if people want to buy the games on DVD? I'd love to get out SB seasons on DVD and replay them once in a while.

I have had absolutely no problem watching Skins games from the library on my comp, or watching other big games not on TV.

Does this work with Mac's???????

Exactly... from what I saw, Stacks lives in Arlington, his buddy would be the remote user in TX.

htownsskinfan and Hooskins, Thank you for the tip about justin.tv! The picture for the Detroit game was a bit blurry but a blurry game is better than no game. I appreciate the help!

[hooskins]

I'm amazed that the NFL doesn't sell DVDs of each team's games. The NFL already has the film and it's not like it is expensive to burn films to DVDs. I'd love to watch, for example, the 1970s Skins games during the offseason and brush up on some of my history.
