Update: It definitely works abroad, at least the live and archived versions of Cal vs. Fresno State worked.

Sounds like live events are archived between 24-48 hours after the event, but that time can vary. Let's hope they can turn it around quickly this time!



Great--I'll give it a go.

It's not the $8 that I mind, but what irks me is that other schools (public, mind you) have streamed their games for free. Getting nickel and dimed $8 just seems a bit bush league IMO.

In any case, I'll be at the game so I couldn't care less.


Glad you will be at the game. To put things into perspective, Tennessee charged their fans $25 to watch the Montana game at home on pay-per-view.

Yes, it was a TV feed, not an Internet stream, but just wanted to put things into perspective.

Unlike a televised game, you cannot record the online feed to watch later. So I am going to have to miss it entirely because of a previous commitment. Bummer. I was looking forward to getting a glimpse of Bigelow's debut.

I have to believe that they would have it on demand for streaming afterwards at some point.

Yes, as I alluded to in my post above, it appears all content is archived, even the live events. The only question is turnaround time.

Complaining about it for $8 is ridiculous. Some people will never be satisfied.

In case there are any country restrictions, you can also use a VPN service that will route through a US server. Well worth the cost IMHO and useful for lots of sites.

I would gladly pay the $8 if the game was going to be in good quality.

I have a projector in my basement and any internet stream under 480p just looks like crap. I've watched a few games off of ESPN3.com on it, and even with decent quality, the feed kept dropping packets.

I really don't want to pay $8 to watch a stop and go on my laptop... Does anyone know if we would have any reassurances to feed stability and picture quality for the money?

Yeah, you'll get your money back plus $250 inconvenience fee :P I think you'll be SOL if it sucks.

That's even better. I can read about the game first and then decide whether I want to fork up $8 to see the rerun.

The link to cancel the all-access subscription isn't working....very annoying. Anyone else having this problem?
