Short story - Sunday April 2nd, 2006. My soccer team is playing in a Semi-final that i can only see over here if (a) I get DirecTV, (b) I can find a bar that has the Setanta Sports Channel and is open at 7am and is showing the game live.(a) - no fucking way. I've had DirecTV before and never again. I'm surrounded by trees now but when I had their service before and we lost the picture, their customer support would be like, "is it raining?". Fuckers. I paid them full price and they couldn't get me a picture when it was raining.
(b) unlikely. The closest bar to me with the correct channel is over 20 miles and previous inquiries of this nature have always resulted with a solid "No". This leaves me with one last-ditch option. Buy my Dad an ATi All-in-Wonder card, teach him to hook it up to his satellite receiver, teach him to stream the video and then I connect to that and watch the game here at 7am. Has anybody done this before? -------------------- Miss you guys.

Or a slingbox!
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16882169001 You could even have him get an additional DirecTV receiver and you could watch and control it from your house. It's just so funny when people bitch at the satellite companies for a fuzzy picture due to weather. It's a limitation of sat technology and no matter who your provider is you're going to have that problem. Hey - those dishes are like 22,000 miles away, you're lucky to be getting any picture at all  -------------------- I am.
