Watching NFL Games Over The Internet

[jamze132]

I am probably one of the only Zoner's who currently live outside of the country due to my proffession. I was wondering if anyone knew of any way to watch each Bills game over the net like you can watch baseball on MLB.tv? Has anyone heard of any plans in the future for streaming NFL games over the net?

If I am lucky, I will get to see one maybe two Bills games on the American Forces Network the entire next season. Yeah I can listen to the games on the radio through the net, but I need to watch!

Anyone know anything?

Or you could order them from http://www.pontel.com. I have done that for the last two seasons and are very happy with them.

That's not going to work for me. So the game ends on Sunday, the DVD gets finished a week or two later, then it's shipped, takes 2-3 weeks for me to get it. I can't stay away from Sportscenter that long.

as far as I know, there is no legal way to do it.

But, there are these new devices similar to a TiVo that allows you to watch live or recorded programs over the Internet from any computer. If you can get someone in Buffalo to set one of those up, that's probably your best bet.

I don't know anyone currently living there, and besides, I don't like engaging in illegal activities.

I thought I read somewhere that there were talks about streaming the games live like baseball does. I think it was arevenue sharing thing. I dunno.

I don't know if it's illegal to watch it or just illegal to re-broadcast it.

If I can remember what those damn devices are called, those are legal. But you still need someone to set it up in a location where the Bills are broadcasting.

I live out of the market too, but fortunately I'm still in the US so I get Sunday Ticket.

My friend who didn't have cable was able to watch the Sabres on his PC because his friend in Michigan had NHL Center Ice! I'm seriously thinking about getting one and setting it up at a friends house so I can watch the Bills this season...

I will have to look into it. Maybe my dad could help me out. Thanks guys.

For Slingbx to work, you need a TV and cable box located in the states, at a freinds or parents house. (Preferably in the Buffalo area.) The Slingbox is then hooked up to it. That TV/Cable box has to be tuned to what you want to watch. You can't have Mom watching HGTV when you want to see the Bills. Other than that, you need hi-speed internet at both ends to be able to get a smooth video stream. Dial-up ain't gonna cut it. And this is 100% legal, by the way.

Well my dad is in Florida, gets the NFL Ticket on DirecTV and watches all Bills games, it might actually work. But he is kind of ******ed when it comes to setting everything up. I had to do it all and I can't get back to the states before the end of the season.

About $250 and worth every penny.

Isn't it like another $100 if you want the HD? And isn't it true that you might only get half of the games in actual HD?
