I've heard about firstrowsports for college football and also CBS will stream their primetime game each week through their website. The problem is when a lot of the college football games are going on it will be the middle of the night for me. My question is is there a place I can watch full replays of games. So I can watch them at any time other than 3 am?

I was pumped about using WATCHESPN but checked under their FAQ and saw this:

Can I access WatchESPN internationally?

At this time, WatchESPN is only available on U.S. domestic internet and wireless services.


That blows...I thought they promoted this because you could watch sports from anywhere in the world on any device.

I think the poster known as FootballNostradomus lives down there right now. He would be the best person to ask.

Yeah if I was moving out of the country I would without a doubt buy a slingbox. Pretty sure its your best option if you want the best quality picture.

They actually play quite a few games on their sports channels. Yeah the Internet is your friend.

i tell you what. you might be able to get a US proxy fairly easy and still access ESPN3.com

this will make it appear as if you are in the United States.. I think you could use hotspotshield which is FREE. you can also use Easy Hide IP (which is 5 dollars a month) and this thing works super amazing. you can pick from several locations you want to appear you are from such as New York or California.. etc.

then you can watch full replays of almost all college football games.

you may still need to borrow a username/log in from someone who has Cable to access the site.. like a cox or comcast login.. but that should be no big deal if you know someone back home who will share.

A Slingbox at a family member or friends house is the best option. Also look up ESPN Player (it's basically espn3 for those outside of the States, but I'm in the UK so not sure if it works in Australia. Also, CBS does not stream their games outside of the US, you'll be blacked out.

Great suggestions, especially slingbox. I forgot about it.

Yeah CBS would be blacked out, but if he got a proxy like mentioned he can get around any non-US block out.. regardless if CBS or ESPN. as well.

Good luck to you, OP.

Enjoy Australia!

Guy from my hometown went to china. He used a sling box. But I believe he had to have a dedicated satellite box at his parents house for the sling box
