HELP.

It's one thing to miss some regular season games and listen to them on the internet radio, but now I am getting peeved.

Star ESPN are only showing 2 of 4 playoff games this weekend (not the Steelers-Bengals).

There are only two ways to see the game in HK.

1) American Forces Network - available to any US citizen that works at the Consulate and has paid for the decoder and satellite etc....

DOES ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW ANYONE THAT WORKS AT THE US CONSULATE AND IS REALLY, REALLY FRIENDLY (OR INTERESTED IN MAKING SOME QUICK MONEY)!!!!

2) Solar - Phillipine Satellite http://www.sat-address.com/ss/Solar-Sports-Plus.html

This has all of the NFL feeds (and by the way a lot of other great sports programming).

DOES ANYONE OUT THERE HAPPEN TO HAVE A PIRATED PHILLIPINE SATELLITE PACKAGE??

I am considering flying to the phillipines to watch this game so would be more than willing to compensate anyone that could let me watch the game without flying.

I really don't want to listen to the game on the radio, or try to download it after the fact.

PLEASE HELP.

Let me know if you find a place to catch the game. Waving a yellow towel and catching the highlights on my computer at work is not the same.

Try calling the AmCham and see if they have any tips for you.

They have a superbowl party .. if anyone is interested.

Slingbox will help. Install the Slingbox in US and then watch it anywhere on the Net.

Get a Slingbox and do a soft PVR (Linux) so that you can watch whaterver you like in the evening here.

Ok, update - all of the playoff games are also broadcast on the Thai Satellite channel UBC Sport Plus

Does anyone know anybody that has a Thai Satellite feed. I remember someone once mentioning they had this here in HK.


I have a friend in the US setting up Slingbox, but I am not optimistic about the quality and speed and would prefer to find the broadcast.

THANKS

Ok, this may be a long shot, but I think these buildings have a satellite dish and residents might have Thai or Phillipine coverage if they choose to.

Does anyone know anyone that lives in these buildings and that has Thai or Phillipine channels.

In this determination, unless the context otherwise requires,
"the parties" means Wharf Cable Limited (Wharf Cable) and Global Satellite TV Limited (Global Satellite);

"the buildings" means the properties named

a) Hilltop at 60 Cloud View Road, Hong Kong; and
b) Visalia Garden at 48 Macdonnell Road, Hong Kong; and
c) Jing Hui Garden at 8 Aberdeen Main Road, Hong Kong; and
d) Kent Mansion at 95/97 Tin Hau Temple Road, Hong Kong; and
e) Regal Crest at 9 Robinson Road, Hong Kong; and
f) Ridge Court Blocks C and D at 21A/21D Repulse Bay Road, Hong Kong; and
g) Twin Brook at 43 Repulse Bay Road, Hong Kong;

Try the Skitz Sports Bar in Wan Chai, they have schedule for the NFL Wild Card games on Jan 8th, at 5:30am in Hong Kong. Seems they carry all NFL games, even college football.

I was never a sport fan when I was in HK, but since I moved to US, I started to love American Football. I like big Ben, but Bengals has been doing good this season.

Good luck!!

I used to live in Cincinnati ... in the late 80s / early 90s. Hmmm.. they finally stopped sucking.

[howard_roark]

KIA - when you lived in Cinci they went to the Superball 23 - during the days of Boomer & Collinsworth. They started to suck after you left.

Any news on the Pitt/Cinci game telecast - may be the last game for bettis the bus. A MUST SEE

Thanks for the skitz idea. The schedule lists the 2 games that are being broadcast in HK on ESPN already. I can get them at home. What I need are the games that are brodacast very early Monday morning. Skitz doesnt list those. I'll call them or go down later to check. They need to have Thai or Filipino satellite to receive those games.

No other update yet. You can listen to it on the radio. go to NFL fieldpass and download realplayer 10. It is live and shouldnt cost too much.

Someone said you can do sirius radio download which gives free trial, I haven't checked that out because I have the NFL fieldpass.

Will let you know if I find a place to watch it.

I've also asked a person to post the game online asap for download. If it is available within 3 hours of the game I will post the info here.

Thanks
Ed
