Why won't ESPN360 work in Korea? I yearn, yes yearn, for it to work as many great college football games will be broadcast through ESPN360, including the Vols v Bears this weekend. The http://www.myp2p.eu/NFL.htm site does not have any games posted for college games this weekend. Back home this game will be televised on ABC, anybody have any luck with sopcast or TVU showing ABC, ever? Damn do I sound like a crack head looking to score my next fix!

you got to convince the korean isps to carry espn360 which means they would have to pay espn like cable companies do in the states. i dont think korean isps will be willing to shell out for a service that so few koreans would use.

also given the how espn has to run here having to partner would mbc to even get access here i dont think they would want to do that. How come in Thailand etc have better access to ESPN than we do?

now espn game plan does carry all national games on espn/abc to overseas users, many of us last year shelled out $21.95 to watch OSU-M*ch*gan.

the other option IF you can get it to work is streamtvnow. these clowns need to get their act together regarding payment, they dont use paypal and safepay is a crock. this USED to be the best way to get games online

I have been looking for the link to the ESPN Game Plan and can't find out how to sign up. Do you know where to sign up for it?

I read that they are not offering it this year. No, I'm not joking.

Yeah, I just looked around and it appears the buttholes are not offering it. Damn. I did find this site that looks somewhat promising: http://www.channelsurfing.net/ . The only game slated for this weekend so far is Washington v Syracuse, better than nothing.

Well, I just signed up for the CSTV because they will show 6 of my schools games on the net. I am super psyched about that but I really need to get all the other games somehow!

Well, that looks like a good deal, I might have to subscribe. Good find. Wish I'd known about it last year.

Well, I had to struggle through a lot of stuff to find it, and I will do my best to help out here. Go to this site: http://www.cstv.com/xxl/ if you cannot find the link to it on the main page. Once there click where it says 'Preview free content - click here' to the right of the page. That should take you to a place where you have to click on 'football' on the bottom of the page and then 'click image to enter' which is the image in the middle of the page. When you get there you can choose the different options for video and audio selections. Most of the video for upcoming games are pretty crappy games, but some are decent and if you are a Fresno State guy, like me, you are lucky and have 6 games to watch through the site -yippee! I think the best game that will be on there is Florida v Georgia on 10/28. Hope this helps!

Edit. Once the schedule appears, on the right upper side choose 'all dates', 'video' and 'all school channels' for the drop down selection menus.
