I need some help fellas. I've been watching our games from overseas on Watch ESPN, but because this is on NBC, I'm kinda screwed. I tested out NBC.com live streaming, but it says that live streaming isn't available with my linked zip code (I linked my Comcast account w/ Atlanta zip code). I tried VPN-ing to different cities and that didn't help.

How can I watch the game on Saturday? I'm trying to figure this out now to prevent rage on Saturday.

Call this place. It's an Irish American bar in Bahrain.

This Irish-American bar takes its sport very seriously. A daily viewing schedule is shared on social media and includes updates of live matches from more than ten different leagues and a variety of sports. In many ways it is the truest sports bar on the island but, thankfully, other areas are not neglected so you can still get lots of pub food, interesting offers and live entertainment. In addition to screening half a dozen football competitions Bennigans is one of the best spots to watch American sports as well.

It's in Al Safir Hotel right next to Al Fateh mosque.
 
Back when I was in Afghanistan, I used to skype the wife who would point the webcam at the screen when there weren't other viewing options. I had serviceable results with that approach.
 
I've checked the ND boards and a Michigan board. Some of the servicemen overseas used slingbox and it works. Other than that it seems you're SOL.

Have you tried to streaming it from firstrowsports? It's öööö quality and unreliable at best but it might be the only other option.
 
Lemme ask Blazer, he used to work in a broadcasting company that delivered US channels to our military overseas.
 
My go to is to google "Georgia Tech live streaming" right around kick off time. It always results in finding a stream, albeit rarely of high quality. But I get to watch the game.
 
Alright corndog. I talked to Blazer. He's saying that AFN which should be available at the base should have the game on. He sent me this schedule. Right now the 3.30 slot is open for Saturday.

I'd keep checking here.

Google "first row sports" a bit before kickoff... Use Chrome/Firefox's inspect element feature to remove popups that block the video stream, or use some NoScript plugins
 
If you have a VPN disguiser to show that you appear to come from the USA, log into the Comcast account and try this:

http://www.nbcsports.com/live-extra

Not sure if they will be showing it but they tend to show most of the "NBC Sports" programming here, even if it is showing on NBC. I used it on Thursday to watch the NFL game because the TV was acting up. The key would be to make sure the server thinks you are coming from the US.
 
I can do play-by-play over the phone if you like. PM me for number if interested.
