Unable to DVR game - Any other way?

I'm going to have to work on Sunday for the first three weeks of the season and I don't have cable or (obviously) a DVR.  I know there's a bar in town that shows all the games so that's my plan once my Sundays free up but until then I was hoping anyone could offer my any help.  Not looking for someone to DVR a game and send it to me, just point me to somewhere online I could download a bittorrent maybe. 

And if this isn't an appropriate place to ask for something like that let me know and I'll pull it or John can pull it.  Thanks!

A place to bury strangers.

This is okay.

Part of Field Gulls is the community and if another fan can do you a solid, great.

I'm in a similar situation..

I leave for Hawaii on Monday the 8th (thank god I won’t miss the opener) and I don’t get back until the 14th, which is a Sunday but I’ll literally be flying over the pacific at kickoff.. I have DVR, but the programming on Comcast isn’t updated that far in advance so I can’t set it to record the game before I leave.. Anyone been in a similar situation? Any advice?

Ten Yard Torrents

is your bittorrent source for football.

I looked into that...

I came across TYT a while back but it didn’t appear to be updated. Last update on the blog itself was late June. Just noticed the forums though and they appear to still be up and running. Can’t get to the leech site from work, have they been posting pre-season games as well? Just want to test it out first.

Seemed like they had every NFL preseason matchup covered

Plus College and even some high school games. Not to mention every game from last season and various football related shows. It really is a fully stocked torrent site.

Did you sign up for an account? It looks pretty dead on the outside until you log in.

Didn't sign up

and I can’t get to it from work thanks to web blocks. I’ll check out the forums and leech site more thoroughly tonight. But when I type in Ten Yard Torrents into google, the first site up is tenyardtorrents.com and is just a WordPress site that doesn’t have any substantial content. Thanks for kicking me in the butt to take a second look, I have to admit that my initial reaction to a TYT suggestion was to give up.

That was it

Just had to register in order to see the forums with all the torrents. Looks like the ’Hawks have a pretty regular poster

UL/DL ratios?

How quickly do they crack down if your ratio isn’t high enough? Should I be downloading and seeding some popular preseason games now so as to build some UL points before the season starts?

by niko on Sep 3, 2008 5:14 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I only joined this preseason

Haven’t noticed any banhammers or anything. Just be an internet gentleman and seed what you download. Should be enough.

no VCR

And no cable, so a VCR wouldn’t really help either. Don’t know any friends with cable either.

by niko on Sep 3, 2008 12:37 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Correction

Get wealthier friends. I don’t really want to pay $60+ a month for cable either when all I watch is Saturday/Sunday/Monday football. Ah, when will they come out with a true football lovers cable package…

by niko on Sep 3, 2008 2:26 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

None of your friends have cable?

You should really invest in a home entertainment set-up.. You’d be king among your friends ;)

But that comes with responsibilities...

Like cleaning up after everyone leaves. Cleaning happens to be my least-refined skill.

I got used to it.

And I make them take out the trash and bring the beer and food.

Get married

that’s what they’re for I hear.

Why? Because the Seahawks rock my socks.

Try and make Chickadee do this because your words hurt so bad.

Speaking of which

Was anybody able to get a rip of the 2007 NFL year in review?

by Robert on Sep 4, 2008 8:51 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

You mean the 30 minute NFL Yearbook?

Those were available for free through iTunes a couple weeks back. Not sure if they’re still there or free.

Its 1.99 now

Well worth it as always

by Robert on Sep 4, 2008 9:55 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Bummer

At the time I’d thought about downloading the entire NFL but figured they’d be there in the future. Ah well, I just wish I had 2005 around somewhere.

by niko on Sep 4, 2008 10:02 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Let me think about that

and I may take you up on that
