Internet TV

OK, so there may or may not be a way to access local television stations via the internet. I came across this website:

http://www.sportstvcenter.com/

Has anyone looked into anything like this? It looks too good to be true and I have real questions about how this can even be legal, but I live in MN (obviously) and don't have Sunday Ticket or a big desire to sit in some sports bar with Vikings and Packers fans on most Sunday afternoons. If anyone has any knowledge of something like this (not the same as the addy that's been floating around), let me know. If not, I may just risk it and come back with a review of my own.

I will have to check it out at home. I don’t want to be the next person on those SouthWest commercials by downloading a malicious virus at work that takes down the whole network. lmao

This is a SCAM!!!!!!

I tried this very service for the first preseason game and it was a joke!

The software you download is just another peer to peer tv broadcasting app (like sopcast), o the streams are completely inconsistant and crappy, and you never know what you are going to get. The only ESPN channel I could fine was from Turkey and was in a different language. Then when you click on the Sports streams it takes you to a page that if there is anything there at all (there was not for the first preseason game even though the front page garunteed me it would be), where it lists possible channels to find the game on, all of which were either on Sopcast or TVU, both of which are free and better lists of the right channels can be found at various free places like the MyP2P forum.

Most of all I was looking for a reliable and LEGAL source for live Broncos TV and this service failed at both (even though thier adds claim it to be legal they arn’t. Technically the P2P software is legal, but the Channels showing the nfl’s content are not.)

I was totaly disgusted and let down. I called and got most of my money back although they still charged me a 10 dollar processing fee. What a total rip off.

Yea...I always look for free crap. I hate paying for stuff...which is why I no longer have Sunday NFL Ticket or DirecTV for that matter.....

I dont like getting ripped off either. Come to MHR on game night OBF…someone usually finds an easy way to watch live games. Most of us are out of state fans and don’t have DirecTV, so we are forced to find other avenues to watch our favorite team. I do believe the NFL will eventually see the light and figure out a way to bring their product to ALL fans, not just those who can afford a certain TV provider.

Thanks, OBF!

This is exactly what I was looking for.

I was talking to a friend who’s a Packer-backer last nite and we were both saying we would get Sunday Ticket IF they finally decided to offer a package where you can get one team’s games. I don’t play fantasy and I have a family, so catching every single game is not even on my radar. But, if they offered a package, even at half the price, I would pony up for it.

Let me know if you discover a way to do this and I’ll do likewise.

Or so I'm told.

All on the internet. The video quality isn't quite up to what it is on regular TV, but

its free. I doubt I will miss a Bronco game this year and I don’t have Sunday NFL Ticket.

I'm paying DirecTV

but I would much rather pay a per game rate because all I want is the Broncos games that aren’t already nationally televised or I can get on the LA stations. It also saves me money for the times when I won’t be in town to watch it anyway, like Week 2 :-(

justin.tv

Last week I was reading through the denverbroncos.com game blog when I came across a blogger that posted this address http://www.justin.tv/
I was able to watch the Packers game and it was pretty good quality. You guys might want to check this one out.

It was on our site's game day thread too.

A lot of MHR guys use it.

Let me clarify something.

The Justin site was mentioned by a member, and several members use it. It was not broadcasted by MHR, so to say it “was on our site” shouldn’t be misinterpreted.
