Stuck over seas boys and need to get the OSU-Texas game over my computer some how and the games on Sunday. A friend recommended www.i-stream.com, but said he doesn't know the site. Do any of you? Do you guys know another dependable site which I can subscribe to today and watch the games on this laptop? I have a DSL internet connection - not too bad for this deployment location.

I checked out CSTV but their only feeding the audio for the game.

Go Buckeyes!

No input?

I'm guessing nobody here has ever tried it.

 

Try one that gives you a free trial period though. http://www.streamtofile.com

 

I have no idea if it actually works though, so don't blame me. Read through their forums, ask some questions first.

Man, I wish it weren't true... but I'm pretty damn sure there is NO way to get NFL games without the dish. You can get audio for all the games, but no video feeds.

Sounds good - thanks for the tip - I'll try anything right now with the biggest game of the year on in a couple hours. I can't believe there's no sure fire streaming service for these games - seems like they're missing a real money making opportunity - there's a lot of us overseas without TV, but internet connectivity.

Thanks again.

Yahoo to Webcast NFL outside North America

NEW YORK (AP) -NFL fans outside North America, who can view few games on television, will be able to watch most of the league's games live over the Internet under a subscription package announced Friday.

 

The NFL Game Pass service will be available through Yahoo Inc. for $25 a week or $250 for the 17-week regular season.

 

Yahoo will block access to the games from computers in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Bahamas, Bermuda and Antigua because the service would conflict with existing broadcast rights. Individual games will also be blocked from certain countries when a broadcaster has rights there, said Brian Rolapp, the league's vice president for media strategy. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

 

In the United States, the NFL has long-term contracts with CBS Corp.; NBC, which is a division of General Electric Co.; Fox, which is owned by News Corp.; and ESPN, a division of Walt Disney Co. It also has a deal to show out-of-market games with satellite television operator The DirecTV Group Inc.

 

The NFL has made live games available before as part of pilots, but this is the first time the league will offer an entire season. Other professional leagues, notably Major League Baseball, also offer live games over the Internet with similar blackout technologies to preserve lucrative television deals. College sports are also making their way online.

 

The NFL games will be available on demand for up to 24 hours after their conclusion. Highlights are available for free in the United States and elsewhere at NFL.com.

 

It's not entirely clear what the demand for NFL games will be outside North America. Football's international following isn't as strong as soccer's or basketball's, for example.

Hey Shepherd, could you possibly tell me how exactly this worked out for you? Channels, quality, etc...? And which service you ended up using?
