I just found out I can't get DirectTV where I live. Is there any other way to watch the Dolphins games live? Maybe on a webcast?

Please help! Thanks!!
 
Unlike Major League Baseball, I don't believe the NFL allows any of it's game to be on webcasts at this point. It would be nice for those out of the area to be able to watch the games online or using an IPOD or cell phone. I think WQAM560 and 790 the Ticket have live broadcasts of the game on radio as does NFL.com on their field pass (not sure if you have to pay for this??), but I don't know of any webcasts sites. :rolleyes:

OK. Thanks. I just moved to Boise Idaho, and I guess I'll be stuck watching Seahawks, 49ers, Raiders, and Broncos games. Sucks!!

Have you looked into Dish Network? I think they also get the NFL ticket and the NFL network. You mant want to check with them....or call a satellite company in Boise and see if they can hook you up.

It's not that I can't have it, I just don't have a clear view to the south. I'm sure Dish Network doesn't carry the NFL Sunday Ticket. They do have the NFL Network though.

All I see is a forum. Do they provide slingbox like links when the games are actually on?

it appears as though that you have to pay to see the live feeds. Anyone actually done this? Do they have every game?
 
A slingbox is the only way I have found to get the games through a friend who has direct tv with hdtv. Then if you have your own hdtv at home you can hook your computer monitor serial cord up to that tv and get the games on your big tv in good quality (if you are getting the regular cable programming even digital that is not HD your picture may not be that good). Make sure you turn off all other programs running on your comp and have a top high speed connection otherwise the picture can get slowed down and you may miss small parts of the game as it catches up.
I did it for the Heat this year since I moved up north and it was pretty good, but you have to make sure your friend who sends you the signal has all his programs off as well except for the slingbox and he has a top speed connection at his/her place as well.

They use to have some free slots to try the system out.Also you could see what programming were being streamed.

Not anymore .Now you have to sign up for at least a month for a modical sum.

I tried it and I can tell you it works if you have at least a one meg download bandwidth capability.I discontinued the service because I have conection problems on my end that doesnt allow me to stream during the day .

They have a voting system to see what games are going to be streamed during the weekend.The site has a lot of Niner fans so their games are always on.:rolleyes:

I don't know if it's legal or not.. They had some problems with british soccer last year and had to stop streaming it..
As for NFL.. I used it all of last season without any problems.

They streamed most of the games last season, and they say that their coverage will be even better this year. They play to stream 90% of all NFL games this season so there's a good chance of cathing the fins..
