Before people start asking the famous question "Where can I watch the game online?", here is your answer.

There is only one LEGAL way to watch the Dolphins preseason games online and that is by purchasing "Preseason Live" from NFL.com, the official website of the National Football League. By purchasing this package, you can watch all the NFL preseason games either live or on demand and you can watch them in HD. Normally the price for this package is $39.99, but they are currently running a "Back To Football Special" for only $19.99. You can't beat that. Below is the link to order the package that guarantees you catch all the Dolphins action this preseason and perhaps there are some other preseason games you want to check out.

I also want to take the time to REMIND you all that the posting of links to any ILLEGAL streaming websites for preseason games is against the FinHeaven terms of service and strictly prohibited. These sites are against the law and some of these websites can contain harmful computer viruses. Any member who posts links will be subject to the warning/infraction system and in some cases permanent banishment from FinHeaven. Please use your head. Thank you.
 
Well its not the only way, its the only "LEGAL" way. No one is going to come into your house and arrest you for watching a stream online. You may catch spyware and a virus, but thats what anti-spyware and anti-virus programs are for. I understand what this site wants to protect, but why is it sites like TGG, which filter plenty of traffic, have no issue with this? Is it maintaining a professional atmosphere?

Anyway is it possible to PM these methods to one-another or is that viewed and blocked/lead to a ban also?

It is illegal and therefore we support the NFL in protecting their property. We don't care what a Jets site allows or doesn't allow, this is OUR policy. We respect the NFL and want to follow the law of the United States.

Easy answer, just don't do it at all.
 
$20 bucks for preseason games is a scam. I would gladly pay $100 bucks for streaming games of the REGULAR SEASON however... Why doesnt the NFL do this? By not having regular season streaming package, they feed illegal feeds...
 
Guys, I am sorry if this upsets you, but this has always been FinHeaven's stance. Those illegal, possibly virus attached websites are the equivalent to pirating movies, or illegally downloading music. The NFL does offer a legal way to watch the game, and yes it will cost you. Is $19.99 for the entire preseason really that much? Not really.

Also, what gives anyone the right to watch these games for free? It is an entertainment product, not a backyard game amongst friends.
 
really? 20 bucks is to much to watch dolphins preseason games. that is crazy. iv been doing so for 39 bucks for years and to only pay 19.99 is a awsome deal. me and my dad and my 2 friends are splitting the 19.99 four ways and to see my team practice with live bullets aginst other nfl teams is worth it...... ps i cant wait to see gates run.. is he as fast as everyone says?
 
20 dollars to watch 4 games is not a rip off. How bout you skip the big macs for a week and watch your dolphins get ready for the regular season. If you don't want to pay then watch the lines on espn game cast or something. The law is the law

The money I pay to see a game and park may give me that reason. Or because a guy in europe decides to stream a feed for those less fortunate, doesn't mean we should all pay the money giant. Maybe someone else is watching something on TV, or I happen to not be home for a weekend and want to watch my fins. Checking the boxscore is fun, but thats not what I'm trying to sit there and watch. I'm not trying to pay hundreds of dollars for something so simple or maybe for two to three times in a season.

Also preseason might as well be a backyard game amongst friends.

Not trying to say that finheaven should provide this, just giving another side to the arguement. I find it different than downloading music or pirating movies. Streams being different from actual stealing.

One guy goes into a gas station, pays for a pack of starburst, and decides to hand out the candy to strangers. Your one of the strangers, you've been craving a sweet candy but all you have is rice and beans, and the guy offers you a starburst.. LOL

So if I go to a friends house who paid for it, with 28 of my buddies thats 28 people gaining off the same price of one sale. The law is the law, doesn't mean its always right. Once again, im not saying FH should appreciate it, im saying its not the worst thing a person can do, and providing an arguement.
 
I completely understand Nublar's position. If the NFL caught wind of any links to illegal game streams on Finheaven, the site owner could get a hefty fine. The mods are looking out for the safety of the site so we can continue posting.

You are right dude. No cop is going to knock on your door and arrest you.

Instead -- you could be randomly served with a lawsuit for a million bucks by a multi-billion dollar business, should the site that you are using get busted. But you seem really smart, and you knew that. I've seen a cease and desist letter to a bar in those circumstances, and it wasn't pretty. But you seem smart, and you probably know what those are, too.

Question here being the random IP visiting these sites through a proxy site, I'm basically immune, no? Well a couple of these movie pirating and TV streaming sites were shut down recently by the government. You can even see some of these sites with the mark of the FBI saying the site has been shut down. But to be honest, it tooks years to take down the sites that still exist.. And tracking down individual IP addresses via the site servers for something as simple as mistakingly clicking on a link to the site, seems a little extreme.

Thats my view point as far as being personally held responsible for visiting or using sites like that.

Once again, not trying to argue the fact that finheaven needs to protect itself and prevent stuff like that from flying around.. It should. Its just a good topic for discussion as opposed to a henne training camp throw, especially since this is actually a big deal.
 
thx for the info but charging games for preseason is horrible. The worst thing is the teams charge u the same price for preseason games and thats even more of a rip off.
 
I definitely understand/respect the site's stance. Hopefully I can find a buddy of mine with the package or something, since I'll be working during the NFLN replay. Otherwise I'll simply trust the insight of my fellow finheaveners \m/
