Here's how to watch friday for those outside of Canada

This is for all you folks outside canada that want to watch friday - especially folks in Kansas and New Mexico

JustinTV is back working but its not rags to riches or richsportsonline - that got suspended for copyright violation

http://www.justin.tv./directory/sports

or use your justintv link thats saved in your favorites and click on 'sports' on the blue line of justintv and look for the box that has the cfl logo - you might be able to type in cfl in the search bar. For those that are new you can enlarge the picture to full screen

or there is the small screen version on

http://channelsurfing.net/watch-tsn.html

For me - I am hooking my lap to my TV and watching on the big screen

hope this helps all new people wanting to watch

Re: Here's how to watch friday for those outside of Canada

Thats pretty bunk that you have to go thro so much crap just to get CFL games down south. You'd figure with all the different sports channels that there would be someone that covers the cfl.....but i guess it would probably come a distant third behind the NFL and NCAA in the states...

Re: Here's how to watch friday for those outside of Canada

reminder to all outside canada -

If you saved the justintv link from before in your favorites and click on that - it will say 'suspended for copyright violation' that is why you must use the new link I posted or if you use the old - click on sports on the blue line and then look for another box with the cfl logo -



Yes, 'wakeisbetterthanyou' it has been a real challenge for us down here to watch - every year its been different

first year it was carried on certain direct TV channels and Dish TV - then that didnt work

the next year we were watching on america one via a vancouver based internet service called Ebahn and then that stopped working

then we were back with various direct tv and tsn broadband -paying for those games'

now that is all blocked and blacked out to the united states

so now we are watching on these two links and that keeps changing too

some are able to watch on espn360 but not all internet providers carry it nor do they carry it in all markets - we dont have it - but down in the LA area it does

Then of course we can go the extreme route of buying a vpn and getting a canadian IP address for our computer - for me thats the last resort

who knows what next year will be

But persistence sure pays off

almost as bad as the route cubans have to take to get to america/canada. guess if it was more popular down there it would be easier, must have been easier when there were american teams too..

Re: Here's how to watch friday for those outside of Canada

The channelsurfing link worked for me here in Peru. TSN's live link did not work. Thankfully I'm flying back tonight and will get back in time to catch the Leos/Als game tomorrow. Unfortunately, I'll be doing a 14 hour red eye flight with my 2 year old on my lap. That might be harder to sit through than a Jacque Chapdelaine OC gameplan!

Re: Here's how to watch friday for those outside of Canada

Not I, as the Channelsurf doesn't come up for me, you may try internet explorer as firefox may be the problem. The justin TV isn't around that I see, even searching for it. You should be able to see the archived game from TSN later though, correct?
