Fans who live outside the local viewing area

Pray your neighborhood has AT&T Uverse. I have it now in Charlotte and I am very happy with it.

Maybe they'd show a lot of panthers came in chicago so that the fans can evaluate their future players

[MadHatter]

That rules out your only option. However, I've heard of this device called a slingbox that will retransmit a TV signal to the internet. It's legal. Research it.

Slignbox is awesome.

I have quite a few people who work for me that we relocated to London, where the television is shitty.

They purchased a slingbox for about $150. All you need is to attach the device to a person's TV here is Charlotte...if you have a good friend here. They then purchased a DVR and attached it as well. The slingbox transmits the signal to any computer with an internet connection.

They could actually control the TV through the slingbox. They purchased the DVR because of the time difference to London, so you would not even need this expense.

They said that it worked incredibly well and cost next to nothing...as long as you have someone that will allow you to put a cheap 13 inch TV and a slingbox in their home.

And YES....it is completely legal.

So, I could hook it up to my mom's cable box, and just leave it on? Does the TV have to be on in order for me to watch it? She can handle minimal technological activity, (turning on the TV and changing the channel), but not much beyond that.

NFL should start showing them online. They could make some serious money.

Looks like DirecTV is going to start showing them online to non-DirecTV subscribers this year. I made a thread about it ---> http://www.carolinahuddle.com/forum/carolina-panthers/42911-directv-supposedly-to-offer-sunday-ticket-online-to-non-directv-subscribers-this-year.html#post2646658

Supposedly you have to be a customer who "can't" get satellite otherwise.

$350 is pretty steep.

At least you can still watch the great Julius Peppers every Sunday.

Become a Bears fan.

Become a Peppers Fan.....????

[Catdaddy]

You can get it on the internet,thats how I watched when I was in Iraq

[dpanther69]

Also if you have a friend that has Direct TV and is willing to give you the password word you can download it on your computer. That is what I did last year prior to getting Direct TV. I was able to watch all the Panthers games doing this.

[SCMunnerlyn1]

I am moving to Chicago this month, and I am starting to freak out about not being able to see every Panthers game. I thought at the very least, I could pay to watch them on NFL.com, but the game audio is the only thing they offer.

What are my options?

Am I screwed?

Email me man .. ive got your back

...ive been jonesin' too, gettin by on nfl audio and an itchy mouse finger that has almost scored nfl rewind... $40...Not bad...but how long before the game is available after it's over???

[Peppers90 NC]

They do out of country.

I don't know why they don't in the U.S. but I'm pretty sure I've seen a reason SOMEWHERE on NFL.com before, you can go search for it in the audio/video pass section if you want, it shouldn't be too hard to come across.

probably their agreement with the dish network or somethn. I moved to nyc last summer but found a way to watch games... Not all were great quality

[SCP]

Yeah, I've come to terms with this being the most likely option.

Bears fans all around.

There is a spots bar in downtown Chicago off N. Fairbanks and E. Ontario called Timothy O'Tooles. There's a guy that lives above the bar that's a huge Panthers fan. You will see him in O'Tooles on gamedays wearing a blue 89 jersey. I don't know his name but I have watched a few games with him when I'm up there on business. He is a regular so they have the Panther games on for him.
