Let me know if I'm way off on this.
No, Buck is trying to get around blackouts, as far as I know Directv does not broadcast locals.

That should work as well if his relative has the Sunday ticket and he doesn't mind watching it on his computer.

A lot of computers these days have HDMI outputs. You could literally stream in HD from your computer to your tv.

Oh yeah, I forgot that you live in a sucky sports town.

:D

Yep I had to get one with an HDMI output and got a TVTuner so I could just record everything to my computer and didn't need to get another DVR

Ok, Skip has assured me this is legal.

This is going to be the best ever.

Not only do I not have to worry about blackouts, but I get to watch all the Redskins games too, and whatever other games I want to watch.

Sweet.

Oh, this is all contingent on my relative being good with it. If he doesn't want to chance it, then we wont do it...

However....if he wont, then maybe 4 of us on here could, you know, talk about things and set up a deal for us.

Mr. Flopnuts 08-07-2009 08:55 PM
I'm stoked too. I haven't missed a Chiefs game in over 16 years. For the first time ever, I'll be able to watch in HD on my bigscreen every week this year. JIMP!!!

I'm trying to find someone with DTV now. Then I'm going to have to figure out if my apartment complex will let me install a dish :)

Your apartment complex can't stop you from installing a dish. Federal Communications Act of 1996. They can make it harder but can't prohibit it.
