Hey, I'm outside of Texas these days and I'm just grateful I can get the game somewhere. Thanks, OP!

Any chance of people with Suddenlink able to watch this game? ESPN3 says that Suddenlink isn't supported even though it says "Powered by Suddenlink" in the upper right hand corner.

If, failing that, would anyone be willing to share with me their info? I realize that's probably asking a lot...

But I'm really such a nice guy!

The link in the OP shows Suddenlink carries it. I found an iPhone app called HotSpot Shield and also VPN Express. Anyone know if either of these would let me watch?

So when we're done with all the steps, do we just go back to espn3 and find the game?

Just visit your brother in Estes Park, Colorado and get it without the blackout with no problem. Fortunately he is also an Aggie and will watch the game with me.

circumventing IP geo-location restrictions is stealing? do you know how stupid that sounds?

firstrow works. Always X-out of every add, even the ones that say you need such and such a program to run it. I watched several AG games via firstrow over the past couple of years. Picture quality is not always stellar. I would try the OP's option first, but then go to firstrow if no luck with OP's.


What's with people from B/CS spelling Ad, Add?

I'll make an analogy that might help the olds understand what exactly is happening here.

ESPN3 is like a drive-in movie theater. You can pay to get in and that's the easiest thing to do, and you are right there seeing the movie. The movie, though, is really being shown to the world in public. You can drive out somewhere where you are still in view of the screen and watch it with a pair of binoculars no problem. Now, the theater might not like this and may send some cops or thugs out to harass you and run you off, but you aren't doing anything immoral here. At the very worst, you can be accused of being cheap by going through the trouble and not just paying for a ticket.

My friends and and I are getting the game on PPV because my buddy has a nice big TV, but I'm going to have my computer with me too and I'm going to stream the game at the same time. Why? Because **** them and their worthless IP geo-location restrictions, that's why. Controlling how the world sees your IP is your own G-D business. I suspect that some of the sentiment that this is stealing is caused by a complete lack of understanding of how things on Al Gore's internet works by pompous noobs. If the OP's instructions look like a confusing script for how to diffuse a time bomb and you think this is stealing, then that is probably you.

Hi guys, I'm in California watching Wake Forest @ Boston College!!





Immediately after my last post, I downloaded, installed and activated hotspot shield and started watching WatchESPN. It's stupid simple.

So I'm assuming if I can watch the Houston vs Temple game that is "subject to blackout in my area", then I should be able to watch the A&M game, right? I just wanted to test the above method before our kick off, and so far, I am able to see the Houston game, so should I be in the clear for tonight, right? OP, thanks for the tip.
reb,

Firstrow is a lot easier to deal with if you download an ad-block extension for your browser.

I can't seem to get Hotspot to install on my laptop, it downloads, then just sits there forever with a status window saying "preparing your installation, please wait" at about 75% complete

I followed the steps and got one game to work as a test, but now all the games I am trying are taking forever to load, and eventually I just get an error message "Internal Authorization Error"

anyone else having this issue/know how to remedy? Thanks
