That just seems plain mean. I missed that part somehow.

There's a website called streamtvnow.com that claims to have every game online as well. $12 for 3 month membership. Anyone ever heard of them?

Yep.First set of games were unavailable as they were doing server upgrades or site maintainence, but then I used it to watch the Bears / Packers game.Tough to beat getting all NFL games for $3.83 a month!

How is the quality? I'm wondering if the quality is good enough that I can use some A/V cords and plug my laptop into my TV at home to watch on something bigger than my 17in screen. I'm a Bengals fan that's has been transported to Alabama for work (in a condo surrounded by trees no less so I can't get direct tv!) and I just planned on going to the sports bar but if this would work I would gladly pay.Yep.First set of games were unavailable as they were doing server upgrades or site maintainence, but then I used it to watch the Bears / Packers game.Tough to beat getting all NFL games for $3.83 a month!

You can check out the nationally televised games (CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN) for free with TVU Player.
It works for people not in the U.S., or for people who are in the U.S. but for some reason don't have access to a TV (like people on the West Coast who are at work right now).

What's the quality like?
Surprisingly good if you have a broadband connection. It takes about a minute to get going, but after that it's very watchable. (I think it's delayed by about 90 seconds behind the actual broadcast.)

OK, I'm downloading now. The program is downloading VERY slowly.

How does game selection work on Sunday afternoons? IIRC, truly "nationally televised" games are rare.

It took me about 45 seconds to download it. Pretty good quality.

I don't know which feeds you get from CBS or FOX. Maybe New York? Whichever game is on that feed, that's what you'd get. FOX has Maury Povich on right now, in case that helps. CBS is not working right now.You can also get ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN (Asia), Comedy Central, HBO, TVLand, and a bunch of others.

You need to have WinAmp installed, which is a free download. As I said I missed all the early games as their site was down for server upgrades / site maintainence. Only used it for the first time yesterday so I can't add much more than that.

It's streaming video, so of course you're not getting Hi Def picture quality, but allowing for that, I was satisfied. You'll need to download the free WinAmp software.I happen to have the set up you're describing. Good graphics card with audio & video out jacks running to my 48" big screen. I put my PC in "Dual View" mode, maximized the WinAmp widow showing the Bears / Packers game, switched my TV to the correct video channel & viola` any & all NFL games on my big screen for $3.83 per month.How is the quality?

Sounds good. I'll have to try it at home tonight - program is having an issue with the network connection at work.

Does seem a little too good to be true. Lock this thread immediately.

Downloaded, but I'm not getting any channels.
It works simiarly to peer-to-peer file sharing, so it won't work with a firewall.
Do you see the channel selection over to the the left? Click on ESPN. That one is working very well right now. (It takes a minute or so after clicking on it to get going.)Downloaded, but I'm not getting any channels.

Clicked it. Nothing happens. Says "Ready".Do you see the channel selection over to the the left? Click on ESPN. That one is working very well right now. (It takes a minute or so after clicking on it to get going.)Downloaded, but I'm not getting any channels.
At the bottom (under the picture), after you click on a channel, it should either say "Closed" (if it's not working) or "Connecting" (if it is). The "Connecting" will switch to "Download 59 [or whatever] KBps/MB" and shortly after that you should get a picture.Clicked it. Nothing happens.

Actually, I think it's San Francisco's feed. At least it was yesterday for the CBS game.

I watched using TVU and it worked pretty well. The picture got a little pixelated occasionally and a few times it stopped altogether while it seemed to be rebuffering. But overall it was a nice option if you don't have access to ESPN.

Being streaming video, I'm sure the picture quality is the same with either one.

I gave TVu a shot ... didn't work for me. Just sat the and spun (Ready). Maybe my DSL isn't fast enough? I answered yes to the Firewall prompts I'm pretty sure.

I had to shut it down and restart it a few times before it would work for me. If it doesn't say "connecting" when you click on a channel, shut it down and restart it.

I was happy with it... especially considering what I paid. Account cleared. Watched part of the Yankees game last night. Was better quality than I was expecting. However the screen froze on me after about 30 minutes. I then switched to HBO and some comedian was on. The comedians mouth movement and voice did not match up, I don't think this will be a concern when watching a football game.

Sunday UpdateAt first I couldn't get to the Vikings game becase the server was busy. During the game I lost the connection about 3 times for a total of 5 minutes. I watched the Rams game for the second game. Never lost a connection. Picture Qlty was OK not great. I couldn't make out what quater it was when viewing the St.Louis game. Sound was good.
