    Does anyone know what's going to be the best way to do this? Comcast isn't getting a FUCKING dime from me.

    I remember someone saying something about some dude at OSU that was pirating or streaming the games.

    I can't remember the name but it was something like Sty Smoker Hog.

    Anyone?

    I actually watched the WSU v Duck game like that 2 weeks ago. I was in Chicago working and my boy was working the Duck game in Seattle. He face timed it to me. I love technology.

    Fuck Apple. I'm a Galaxy guy. Plus I want to watch it on a good sized screen man. At least my flat panel.

    I have no moral issues whatsoever pirating online streams to watch games. Fuck Comcast and fuck the Blazers for putting their fans in this position.

    What a bunch of scrubs. It's about $150 for the entire season.

    TRUTH! Why is it that I can see Notre Dame play EVERY Saturday but I gotta make a plan to see the Ducks?
    The Blazers did it for the money, not us fans...

    I went with the 5 team league pass broadband method last year after I cut my tv cable connection. I think it's somewhere in the neighborhood of 120 for the year.

    To get around the blackout restriction living in portland, or anywhere that this may affect you, get a VPN service, I went with "hidemyass" which was around $10 a month, but I guess there are free ones available, never had any luck with those, maybe someone with more experience here could help you. Then using the VPN I was able to "spoof" where my IP connection was coming from by picking a city within the available US cities list (making sure that both teams would not be blacked-out from that location).

    Additionally, you can let your friends share your account, I'm splitting with another person this year. That makes it incredibly affordable, all the while only giving comcast the bare minimum each month.

    I found the quality to be roughly 70-80% as good in regards to picture when compared to an ESPN broadcast over HD. The only complaint I had was once or twice last season the game would not open for the entirety of the game. Occasional buffering was present, but with how cheap it was I really couldn't complain. Plus I got to watch 4 other teams throughout the year (but being such a condensed schedule last year, I rarely watched any others). I used an HDMI out to my TV and got roughly 720 display (looked pretty good, but you'll be disappointed if you're expecting full Comcast TV display).

    Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions. Hope I could help!

    P.S. I find the expense well worth it in comparison to firstrowsports. Not having to deal with extremely crappy picture, and horrible ads always interfering. I'm making due with firstrowsports for college football, but with 82 games to watch, I find the expense worthwhile.
