Posted August 12, 2008 Hey, OK, I've looked everywhere but this must be possible, right? I don't really know how it all works, but I love watching American sports like Basketball, and Sky just doesn't cut it. Is there anyway for me to receive American cable over here? Preferably legal, I don't mind paying the operator or anything. Failing that, does anyone know a good way to get American TV through my computer, or do I have to be in America? I know Sky do the whole "watch your favorite TV shows online" thing, I presume they do. I just need to put and end to this question, it's killin' me! Thanks a lot guys.

Posted August 12, 2008 Not sure about this because I've never had to use it to use it for sports but I'm sure you'll find what your looking for on the technology created by Bram Cohen. I say the name of the inventor because I'm not sure if I would get in trouble for mentioning the actual name of such a technology ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13, 2008 Alot of American networks have their shows online. I think you can watch sports coverage on TSN's website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, I didn't know it was possible to watch sports, unless it's highlights, anyway other than live! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 13, 2008 As you say Sky is not really up to the task (although I can't complain with their coverage of the NFL) , and other than NASN , which has really gone downhill in the last couple of years , then you are very limited with legal options. If anyone knows different then I would also be most interested. You also have the option of MLBTV , and NFL Gamepass (if you hadn't considered them) but options for other sports are not so obvious. There are a couple of 'dodgy' methods which I have detailed in a PM for obvious reasons , but reliability isn't always great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't mean it like that, I just meant that it's really not the same watching sports on a repeat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
