May they go by fast and nobody ruin the dvr
It is possible to use a VPN if you have the ESPN credentials. Buying a cable subscription solely to patch through an at-best shaky VPN is too much for me, though. And here in AUS, we have the "National Broadband Network": a social takeover of internet provision that is pretty terrible, especially for live streaming.
But, ignoring internet problems, it is possible, and I'm also exploring options like Youtube TV and USTV Now. There's no guarantee YouTube won't be region-restricted by NCAA.
To be fair, last year, I was able to watch vs. MSU, the Rose Bowl, and the NCG on ESPN. And I can still listen to WSB on the Bulldogs Radio app, or whatever it's called. So I exaggerated--apologies.
I'm guessing you've looked around for expats who might have banded together and devised a patch through ?
I probably could, but floor workers aren't allowed to keep phones with them and I'd have to be careful not to create resentment in the tribe.
Yeah, no Dawgs, but one Clemsonite who's a cool guy (actually went to Austin Peay for undergrad). A couple NFL fans. There are options; it's just a big pain.
There are many expats here, but Australia tends to attract the kind of folks who are only soccer or surfing fans. You know--sports for the thinking man.
Hate it for your work schedule, but congrats on the promotion.
I really hate it for you @WCDawg. I’ve been there and done that and it truly sucks (for lack of better words). No Dawg fan should have to suffer like this! I used to DVR and ignore everyone/everything as much as possible and hope that the outcome didn’t get ruined for me. Here’s to hoping this is very temporary!
Have you looked into Unlocator, the smart DNS proxy service ? It's not expensive, heck, you might could make money running a football watching underground speakeasy for expats.
Thanks JB, GO DAWGS !
Wife is making me go away for this Labor Day weekend to celebrate 30 years of marriage! I'd like to celebrate at Sanford Stadium with 90000 of our friends. But it's just one weekend and I still get to watch the game live, so I prefer my shoes. Good luck!
Happy wife, happy life.
I work on weekends but am usually able to get out by 3pm to watch any game that starts after. If it's a noon kick I usually have my phone playing the game in the storage closet and sneak peeks about once every 15 minutes. plus another buddy of mine will have the game on his work laptop and if it's slow enough I'll scoot over and watch that way. Although I think our company blocked all ESPN sites.
best of luck to you though....maybe Lowe's can start selling TVs and you just have the game on whatever channel
DobroMattInOz: “I live in Australia. I cannot watch games. Instead, ESPNAus-NZ supercedes college football for, at best, tennis or, at worst, European League soccer.
Furthermore, I am daily subjected to the parochial trash from loser Aussies about how American football is inferior because the players are fat, slow, s t u p i d, and wear pads.
Go Dawgs!”
You live in Australia and you are complaining??? I spent a week there in July 1969 on R&R from Vietnam. Beautiful city (Sydney), beautiful women. Best week of my life. The next few months, not so good.
You're right; Australia is a very nice place to live, and I do gripe way to much. I'm glad you enjoyed it here!
I still hope to spend 2 months touring down yonder. I'd like to visit both Australia and New Zealand on my walk about.
The loose plan is to retire in 4 years and spend a year traveling before deciding what use I can be afterwards.
You could do it all in two months, for sure. I haven’t been to NZ yet, but my wife spent about a week there recently and loved it.
