Looking for some help watching games...

Submitted by LewanHatesDonkeys on

So I am currently overseas and will be working during the game.  Sadly for me AFN (Armed Forces Network) is not showing the game.  Is there anyone that has the capability of taping the game and uploading to dropbox or something similar?  Or does anyone know of someone that already uploads games pretty quickly after?  I am trying to do a complete social media blackout until I watch, assuming I have a way of watching.  Thanks for any help.

1) Brian usually links to a bit torrent of the game in his post-game posting, but that won't work with your social media blackout.

2) If you can find a friend who has a slingbox, you should be able to have them DVR it and watch the next day. Or even watch live. I believe anyone who has Dish network has this feature automatically.

I'm in Switzerland and have similar problems, but #2 has worked for me the last two seasons. (Can I say regrettably? Regrettably: it's no fun watching us blow a dumb game to PSU on an ipad at 2:30am...)

I'm sure some other denizens 'round these parts have better intel.

Where in Switzerland are you? I am in Geneva.

I recall being able to buy a daily pass to BTN2Go international to watch games, they normally have them to watch at midnight on the day after the game is played if not broadcast by BTN. They normally don't show the scores. I would assume that you might be able to watch it by 6am on Friday morning in Western Europe...

Is the game on anywhere in Canada or do I have to resort to similar methods? FS1 not being available is frustrating. I do however see on my cable that BTN has TBD from 8:30 to Midnight Thursday so I'm hopeful. Anyone able to help?

I'm in New Brunswick and can't find the game on Bell or Rogers regardless of cable package.  I've been tweeting to all networks for some help but doesn't look good.   

I'm trying a few different options today.  If I come up with a solution, I'll post.

Same here. Will be in Canada thursday, still trying to find a way to watch the game. Would be interested if anyone has found a way other than the crappy illegal streams to watch it. (Good quality illegal streams on the other hand - those are perfectly fine).

Games last year were uploaded quickly on youtube by mgovideo. Or you can go to mgovideo.com

I'm hoping they're up quickly too. I won't be able to watch the 2nd half of the Utah game since it will be morning here and I'll have to go to work around halftime. Hopefully UM will have blown them out already by then!

I'll be trying BTN2Go International but they won't have the game live, and I've had awful awful experiences with them. But I still keep trying each year. Hoping they'll finally deliver.

Yeah, this is the 3rd time I've posted it this week.

Sometimes the streams are in HD.



Living in Brittany, so this is the only way to go.

EDIT:  Contrary to many of the other links posted, these three sites are free, with no login needed.

I have a high end cable package and Slingbox... the ideal setup. Unfortunately Canada is behind the times with Fox Sports 1 and there's no way to get the game. 



I'm willing to send someone a reasonable amount of cash if they send me their Slingbox login or even their FS GO Video login (and I can fake my VPN).
