Thanks,

slingbox is the answer.. if you're on the road, too late.

I got tired of missing all the sports while in Asia, so I got one... worth it's weight in gold in KIX an NRT.

I was there a couple years back and they did the Super Bowl. But it wasn't play by play. They skipped a lot of the game where there wasn't much action to get the game time down...Damn Japs.

I think for Narita, "The Barge" is probably your best bet. Unless somewhere else has a Sat Dish... I can't think of any.

If you don't find anything, download the slingbox software from the website and install it on your computer (assuming you have one). Once installed, let me know and I'll PM you the id for my slingbox and you should be able to access it.

Have never done this before, but it's worth a shot.

Hooked up my Slingbox to a DVR, so I can watch the games at a decent hour instead of the middle of the night. Works great! Just have to avoid the news until I watch the game...

The second computer came up with a copyright warning that the Slingbox was already in use. It's due to copyright protections built into the software that allow only one copy of software to access one slingbox at a time.

Ask Vincent at the Jet Lag Club. He has a "restaurant" license and can stay open as late as he wants. I'm sure if you organized enough people to come watch the game (and buy drinks) he'd stay open. You may want to verify he can get the NFL before the game though.
