Slingbox/Online stream, etc...How to watch Den/Hou game?

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

Living in Dallas, so it's very likely we won't be getting this Saturday night's game. Are there any links handy or is anyone running a slingbox that would want to help a brother out?

unfortunately I've been searching for a few days and that's going to be the only way to see it, or even hear it. At least without having Sirius Satelite Radio. You can watch the gamecast on nfl.com or on espn.com which looks like that's what I'll be doing. Then actually watching the game on Sunday when it airs.

[Man-Goblin]

SOL for those of us that don't have NFL Network.

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

I guess I can listen to the Sirius broadcast through my Mac. (Starplayr2)...it's better than nothing. Though I'm sure one of those ratty link dump Chinese sites will have a link by Saturday night.

For any New Mexico residents, it will be on Directv ch. 19 and cable ch. 50, live @ 6pm mtn on Saturday. I am not certain about the cable channel being ch. 50 because I just have Directv. I think it's KASY. They carry all the preseason games live so you do not have to watch the tape on NFLN.

Sirius doesn't broadcast the games online. I considered sitting in my car, but no.

Probably the best way to find an internet audio stream is to go http://radiotime.com/ and search for 'Denver Broncos'. It should list all of the stations in the radio network. And while the game sometimes is supposed to be blacked out, it has been my experience that there will be some affiliate in, say, Podunk, SD that doesn't bother.

when the game starts im just going to go to myp2p.eu and just hope someone is streaming the game.... There were a bunch of streams for the HOF game so hopefully there will be on for the Broncos game..

What do you have against Podunk SD

That's probably where I'll start. There are a number of sites out there that stream their local TV channels online. If I find a good one, I'll be sure to share.

I imagine some parts of TX should get it. You guys are so close, it would makes sense. I think the station is a sister station of FOX. The WB or KASY. They show a lot of trash shows in syndication.

Nothin at all, my man. Should have used Podunk, MT.

[Kaylore]

I remember last year a site that did this regularly.

I live about 5 minutes from NM. I just don't know if I am going to get it, I probably have to see it Sunday Night.

A FAQ for NFL streaming:

1) Where can I find a schedule for the NFL?
http://myp2p.eu/NFL.htm
This forum will keep things up to date as well.

2) Can I request a stream for a game that is not being streamed?
No. If it is streamed, then it is streamed. If it is not, its not. Believe me, if someone can stream the game, they will step up to the plate.

3) I'm watching a stream and the quality is not great, is there anyway to improve it?
No, there is nothing you, as a viewer can do. Everything related to the quality of the stream is controlled by the streamer - the resolution, the bitrate and the quality control.

4) Is there anything I can do to improve my viewing experience?
There are several things you can do to improve your performance:
-Turn off all other forms of Peer-2-Peer filesharing (Limewire, Cabos, BitTorrent, DirectConnect, etc.)
-Try to avoid all forms of downloading and uploading.
-Avoid watching two games simultaneously on SopCast/TVUPlayer/TVants unless you have more than 1mbps of upstream bandwidth.
-Windows XP users can expand their connections from 10 to 50 by following the instructions at: http://www.myp2p.eu/Programs/Overview.htm

5) Can I create two instances of SopCast to watch two games at once?
Yes. Click on the Option tab in Sopcast and under "General", uncheck the box beside "Allow only one instance of SopCast." Now you can open two instances of SopCast and watch two streams.

6) Can I watch two games on two instances of SopCast, OR one game on SopCast and one game on TVUPlayer or TVants?
Yes, but it is not recommended unless you have 1mbps of upstream bandwidth.

7) I see that a channel is listed for the game I want to see, but it is not working. What is wrong?
Nothing. All you have to do is ask yourself "what is time is it?" If the answer is not "a few minutes before the start of the game" then the stream probably will not work. Most streams will not start until the beginning of the game, so be patient.

8) I turned on the right channel at 4:15 PM Eastern US time, but I don't think it's the right game. It looks like another game is finishing. I am missing the start of my game. What is wrong?
A streamer may be streaming an affiliate of the national network (CBS or FOX) that has the doubleheader that week. Sometimes, when the first game finishes, the network may transfer viewers to the finishes of other early games, before going to the second game of the scheduled doubleheader on that station. The streamers have no control over this. Be patient, and when the early games are finished, you will get to the late game.

9) Is there a 24/7 stream of NFL Network?
No, and there probably will not be one.

10) Is there a 24/7 stream of ESPN?
No. There is channel 10912 on SopCast, which streams ESPN Hong Kong 24/7, however that is not the same as ESPN US.

11) Where can I find torrents of the previously aired NFL Games?
Check TenYardTorrents.com.

12) Is there any value to recording the streams I am watching?
Probably not. Considering that all the games are recorded in very high quality (sometimes HD) and put onto bittorrent by the website TenYardTorrents.com, there is really no value at all to recording the games off SopCast or TVU.
However, recording does have one simple benefit. If you are very impatient and do not want to wait for the torrents for the games to show up, or the stream is buffering a lot, recording has its benefits. A) you can record the stream, as it is live (delayed by a couple minutes, though) and watch a recording immediately after the game is over, B) recording makes a poor-buffering channel seem like it never buffered at all - see question 13.

13) The channel I am watching does buffer but it never gets high enough so that I can watch. What can I do?
In terms of watching it live - nothing. Either the streamer has to drop his quality down, which requires restarting the stream, or or something with the streamer's upstream is problematic and will be resolved with time.
If you are one who does NOT mind watching a game immediately after it is complete, and you dont want to wait until a torrent appears, you can record the stream. See, even though SopCast is buffering with a low buffer, the stream is still being downloaded (which is the key). If it is being downloaded, it can be recorded. All you have to do is get a copy of the free FlashGet (www.flashget.com) and tell it to download http://127.0.0.1:8902 while SopCast is buffering. You will NOT be able to watch the stream as it is recording, however when you stop recording and watch the recorded video, it will seem like you never had buffering problems at all. Again, though, you wont be watching it live if you dont mind that.

14) How do I record a stream I am watching on SopCast?
One of two ways:
A) there is a button above the sopcast window, it is two concentric circles, a white circle inside of a blue circle. It is to the right of the zoom button. Just click this and SopCast will ask you to Open File, which is just asking you to specify a name and location for the file. Click OK and recording will start.
B) While watching the stream use FlashGet (free) to download the stream. In FlashGet, click NEW, and use the address http://127.0.0.1:8902 as the URL, then click OK. The default download location is c:\downloads. To stop recording in FlashGet, highlight the entry in the upper right box which is the recording, click pause, and then click delete (this just deletes the job, not the recorded file). Then locate the recorded file, by default it will be in C:\Downloads. Remove the .jc! file extension. Now play the video in your favorite video player.

15) How do I record a stream I am watching on TVUPlayer? TVants?
For TVUplayer, the directions are the same as in 14B, except the address is http://127.0.0.1:8901.
For TVants, the directions are also the same as in 14B, excep the address is http://127.0.0.1:16900.

16) Someone posts a last-minute stream, and says it's on SopCast channel XXXXX. Typing in the channel number by itself doesn't work. What do I do?
This URL is the universal URL for a SopCast channel: sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/XXXXX
Replace the Xs with the channel number you are given, and copy/paste it into the address bar on the SopCast application.

17) What is this "VLC" thing people mention. Does it help clear any issues up?
All streams on Sopcast can be viewed with VLC, though for a select few streams this is mandatory. Additionally, sometimes VLC can stream a few seconds or more ahead of what shows up in Sopcast itself, which can help reduce your lag between the stream's source and when you watch it.

To use VLC, download VLC at http://www.videolan.org and install it , then start the Sopcast stream and let it buffer. Then open VLC, go to Open Network Stream, select HTTP option, and type in 127.0.0.1:8902 (if not working, try port 8912). You MUST leave Sopcast running; closing Sopcast closes the stream. If the stream gives sound in both VLC and Sopcast, mute the sound on Sopcast, or try to hit the refresh button so the Sopcast screen goes blank, but the VLC screen stays intact.

click the link and just scroll down. It shows a list of todays events and then click on the one you want. The Denver game will be on the site either Friday or Saturday.

I used it last year and it's hit or miss. Most weeks you'll usually at least get a working stream but sometimes it can be choppy or not so great quality.

Never mind, I looked it up on Comcast and it looks like at least the first two will definitely be televised live in Denver
