Can it be done? Googling now without much luck.

I found this old article... http://www.streamingmedia.com/article.asp?id=7129

Err, this isn't really quite the answer you're looking for; however, I know CBS sports is offering the NCAA streaming for $20.

I'm surprised that cable operators and/or networks are not offering pay-per-view video over the net as copiously as Korea.

I'm back in the states, and my wife is able to watch live Korean tv on our computer.

I don't know about the technology involved, but is it possible to get a friend with a DVR (digital video recorder) to record some games for you and then send them to you via P2P?

surely all you really need is the last 30 seconds of every game?

For the NBA yea the last 30 seconds might do... I am a fan of the pros just because I like basketball, not because the NBA produces that good of a product. So I'd like the last 2 minutes at least haha.

College and NBA... haven't had much luck with Googling so far. Will post here if I find something useful.

Because of Yao Ming they show lots of Rockets, but being from Houston I don't mind.

Looks like CCTV-5 is gearing up for a Rockets-Mavs playoff game (coolstreaming).

Edit: tape.

Is just the coolstreaming website down at the moment, or the ability to watch the games is down too?

I wanted to download coolstreaming and watch Heat-Pistons. Anyone know where I can download it?
