The gamepass broadcast is live, although you can watch prior games, and with the cable connected from the computer to the TV all streaming is seen on your TV, as well as on your computer.
I have 1 meg with planet telecom and streaming football is very hard to watch because of the stuttering picture. i bumped up to 2 megs for the playoffs and while that was an improvement, it wasn't completely satisfactory. Obviously your speed is a function of your isp. Cable Onda has the best pricing on high speed internet. I would think 3-5 megs would be required to have a really solid picture
Not to put too fine a point on it, but "illegal" to me means there is a law against something. To my knowledge the companies offering PR dishes, etc are not pirating the signal, the satellite company gets paid.The fact that the satellite company frowns on the practice does not make it "illegal", IMHO.
The local tv sources, whether cable or satellite, all offer a limited amount of football, in Spanish of course.

Good comment! In PR Dish Network has way more business than Directv. Something like 10 to 1. The people that hacks Dish Network and perhaps, Directv, are groups of individuals that buy cards and activate them legally, but then what they do is feed them to a server. You can then, with a Free To Air receiver(FTA) you can subscribe to the person with the server. Then this person will send you certain codes to activate your FTA. This is being done here with Dish Network, Sky Mexico, Claro and Amazonas. Up in Canada and Northern US also Bellview. Of course, you will need the sat dishes, internet connection and your FTA. Know a bit about codes entering and pay the server provider.
Now, are you taking a chance? Yes. There have been people arrested who run servers and now most of them are offshore to avoid the law. Also customers buying these services have been also sent letters to pay some like $2500 to $5000 for receiving signals not legal. This is because maybe the law can not get you for receiving the signal but when you pay the server owner and he gets arrested, he furnishes the law the list of customers. A way out of this? Yes again. Just make sure you do not use credit cards, paypal, etc. just send the money via other ways with no paper trail.
I know about this because I am a C-band original from 1979. Things have changed a lot and now is the digital signal captured with a small dish instead of a BUD (Big ugly dish) I still play with my satellite dishes and assure I do not pay one brown cent to anyone for not legal signals. I do not know what is going on in Panama about any of this, or what satellites can be viewed there either.

Have y'all checked out nfl game pass? $25.00 for the season. It's kind of like my nfl replay. No commercials or time outs. Watch a whole game in 1 1/2 hours. Of course your watching it on a computer instead of the big screen. They only offer it to people outside the USA.
I know what you mean Ron, but in my situation, My daughter watches the game in New York and I watch it either in PR or Colombia and we keep chatting online about the outcome of every play. It's a family thing. So I will for sure need live NFL. I will have to research for all the options available in Boquete once being there.

You're absolutely right about the Internet speed. Gotta have at least 8-10 mb to avoid all the buffering.
