Just trying to figure out if i can watch xgames on tv, but in canada i cant seem to find espn on any provider. I have star choice and my girlfriends has expressvu but we can both only get espn classics. And its being broadcasted on ESPN and ESPN HD. which providers carry it or where could i access it.

any help would be excellent!

TSN will show it the week after. They usually do. I remember when it was on nbc, and we could watch it live. those were full tilt days. sigh.

you can watch online too, live. Hopefully ns does some sort of webcast too.

Last year they did and it was sick, i think i explored the links and found a direct link to video, no commercials it was the coolest thing ever.

alright, this worked for me.

Go to freetvonline.com
click on the link Live TV at the top
Go to sports on the side, scroll down to ESPN and click

it streams espn360 but because it is streaming through this website it doesnt recognize yur computer as out of Canada, hope this works for you guys

aeight so I use this to stream television online.

Search for ESPN. I'm pretty sure it'll be on realtime with the 9pm (est) broadcast 2nite.

*Canada friendly*
