word around the water cooler is that justintv broadcasts a pile if you are in the hunt
I’ve heard of that and can understand the reasoning behind it but I had never heard of a US website blocking US IP addresses before. Seems stupid to me.
See, I'm against regional blocking. It goes against the Internet. But that's me...
Yes I do, and it’s not complicated or techie, but I am not saying anything about it here now. 
I’ll find a way once again to see the actual TSN broadcast online down here, including with its commercials and usually good half-time, and there is not a damn thing anyone can do about it. :lol:
Then for the benefit of all up goes the link right here or otherwise. Then if that link should go down, often I have a backup within minutes if not right away. I am hardly alone in doing so mind you.
The NFL “blackout rule” as takes effect down here for Tampa Bay for example is just plain obsolete, but even the media won’t say anything about that fact that everyone knows about who is a football fan.
For example, did you notice how last year all the TV’s without IP connectivity went on a clearance sale much as did VCRs long ago once everyone flocked to DVDs? Free TV viewing online, for which demand is at an all-time high because cable is putting more crap on the TV screen than ever and jamming it with informercials for higher cable rates, is precisely why though no firm publicly would talk about what was more than a trend that still continues.
Why do you think Big Cable, Satellite, et cetera do so much advertising and PR? You can’t live anywhere in the country and watch cable and not see a series of dumb commercials that effectively are just cable company public service messages about how much they care and so forth.
The genie is out of the bottle on this matter of custom accessible content on any screen despite all the efforts of Big Cable and Big Telco and Big Wireless et al to continue to gouge us on any give pricing model based in the 1980s that they won’t change. Did you know for example that in the US last year, total cable and satellite subscriptions went DOWN for the first time ever?
Their antiquated, extortionary business model is failing now and there have not been competitive market forces are at work here either for years. :thdn: :thdn: :thdn:
It’s also everybody who is not a politician in the pocket of Big Telco, Big Cable, Big Wireless, Big Studio, et cetera, which would be millions versus perhaps a thousand or so.
If I remember correctly, the NFL network broadcasted Saturday games during the summer and Friday games during the fall. I imagine the plan would be to expand on that this year with the lockout looming large.
They have never bothered trying to put up a challenger to Saturday College ball, and I can not say I blame them. Realistically, Sunday is a great day to watch a game at home, but less than ideal for most to go to one…so why Sunday…nobody wants to compete with College ball…it is just too big.
Yeah they did last year but you never know from year to year what users are into the CFL and are willing to broadcast.
They don’t. It’s ESPN charging too much cash to allow my internet provider (aka: the cable company) to grant me access to the site. Bigger companies can afford the price but the smaller ones like the one in my city cannot.
Where there has been a will, there has been a way for record numbers since at least 2009 in my experience.
You can thank the long overdue introduction of IP TVs to North America about 2009 for these developments. If anyone here has experience living in Asia, I am confident they have had them there for far longer.
And here’s the industry now trying to push 3DTV so they can charge us even more or whatever when all we care about is reasonable access to the better content including all NFL and all CFL and other programming on the “upper tiers” in most cable systems for those of us who would have a hard time with satellite where we live.
Anyway we’ll make the viewing happen in the US via the internet here for all somehow when the time comes in just a few weeks.
And that’s for ALL games too not just whatever ESPN chooses for us as if these are the days before the NFL Network when it was king and got too cocky and remains so. I guess this would be as good a time as ever to add SCREW ESPN! :lol:
ESPN3 has posted the first four weeks of its schedule, though it's not posted on CFL.ca yet. It appears that all games will webcast again this year :rockin:
IP TV has existed in parts of Canada for a number of years. Sasktel has had it for around 4 or 5 years and Telus has had it in BC and Alberta (maybe other provinces???) for a couple of years.
So…Does anyone know a good way to mask/change my IP addy so I can pick up sports from other countries? PM me if you know a way. Thanks.
The only way I know of is to use a proxy server, but they usually cost a little per month. Try http://www.unblock-us.com/
Think we are thinking about two different things, it is possible to stream the CFL game live from outside of Canada. The IP TV that I am thinking about used internet protocal that requires a receiving box to view.
You’re right I’m thinking about the proxy not the IP.
Two games per week plus an option for more on the NFL Network:

2 games a week with options for more. Great news for Football fans and the CFL
And they're actually showing BC Lions games this year. The only reason I saw, plausible or otherwise, for not showing the Lions last year was because of concerns that some NFL fans would get them confused with the Detroit Lions. I guess with the lockout they don't have to worry about that as much this year.
