They don't have satellite with American sports channel options?

I am over here now and downloaded Fake IP thing and it still won't allow me to access WATCHESPN.com. It says im using a IP form the USA but It sends me to the AU WATCHESPN and it blows.

Any ideas?

Maybe you can't watch watchespn overseas, but if you have an account with the right ISP here you can access ESPN overseas. (And by "right" I mean one that ESPN has contracts with)

(And no watchespn and ESPN 3 aren't the exact same thing)

I have an account with Cox and that is recognized by WatchESPN but I need to find away to make it seem like my IP address is showing in the USA

Yep...I had comcast internet (which was integrated with watchespn) and although I didn't have comcast when i was in school, i just logged into my comcast account and watched the games w/o problems.

If I were to go to google over here it automatically directs me to google.com/au...same thing with watchespn. If I log onto it it automatically directs me to espn3.com/au. I downloaded Hotspot Shield and Hide Easy IP and now have a American IP and literally everything directs me to the USA Verizon of sites except for watchespn. That still directs me to the AU verizon.

I'm sorry I keep bumping this I am just butthurt over not being able to watch replays of all the games while im over here.

Try a VPN then, it's a little better, but like $10 a month. There's so much you can do with it including adding it to your xbox or smartphone.. but yeah you can try a 7 day trial free let me know if that works. This is the most highly rated one I could find real quick. Just select 7 day free trial. LINK

This is a good review and if you try the 7 day and it works like you need then you can get it and even pay with Paypal.. which is safe.

But yes instead of watch espn. Go to ESPN3.com once you have your American VPN and use a cable subscription login from either your house or a friend.

I am using my one week free trial of Astrill and it is working perfectly. I will be purchasing for football season. Thank you for all your help. I will bump this thread one time during the evening just to make sure you see it.

Thanks again.
