Howdy Yall,
I was wondering if any of yall knew how to watch an nfl game on the computer. right now i'm in Santiago, Chile...and well, i wanna watch some games. i dont have access to a tv, and even if i did...i doubt it'd have any football games on it. so if you could help, it'd be much appreciated.
I'm only here until august 14th and then i head back to Texas.
thanks

Hey spence,
I'm in Monterrey Mexico now and I haven't had tv for six weeks. Dish "zapped" our cards right before World Cup...so you can imagine how many people are "in line" to get them reprogrammed. We finally gave up waiting and are getting Sky cable because you can purchase Sunday ticket through them for about $100. If you can't get a satellite, maybe one of the cable providers offers something like that. DirectTV no longer is available in Mexico...at least it's not sold here. Not sure about Chile though.

I found this on E-bay and am going to buy it and see if it works. If it does that price is unreal. I will happily let everyone know if it does or not.
If anyone has tried this and it sucks, please chime in. I'd really like to know.

Well I will be out of town, but I have my computer set to record the Sunday replay of the game on NFL network. So when I get back if nothing went wrong with the recording I can host it as a torrent next week sometime.

Is it a satellite card hack?

I bought it. Hopefully I can try it for tonight's game. If it sucks, it was only 9 and a half bucks. Big deal.

I downloaded all the stuff guys, but since I did there have been so many things happen that I haven't had a chance to try it yet. I have one more busy day tomorrow and then I will test fly this sucker and let everyone know if it is worth it or not.
Sorry it's taking so long. You wouldn't believe the list of stuff that has happened this week.

This works, but I can't find any games. I will keep trying.

I guess that a true barometer would be once the regular season starts. How exactly does this thing work?

Hos, don't you have regular cable? If so, why did you need the Ebay thing? Just wondering.
