Hi guys. I'm a cheapskate and looking to save some dough and I am hopeful someone out there has an answer to my Question.

Were it not for my Duke Sports addiction, I think I could live just fine doing Hulu and/or Netflix downloads to watch the programs and shows I like.

So is there any service out there that will give me the live games I want in either a package or pay per game kinda thing that's of good quality to run thru a PS3 to an hdtv and works out to be cheaper than a yearly cable bill?

Any insights or storys of personal experience would be very welcomed.

You need a friend with cable. :cool:

Or a good bar that will put the audio on for you.

Also, it's not always reliable, but it usually has the Duke games. I use this to watch ones that aren't televised in my area:

Just scroll down to NCAA and there is a Kansas fan that usually posts links to a bunch of the games when the season rolls around.

Or a good bar that will put the audio on for you.

At most Buffalo Wild Wings and Hooters, you can request a personal audio device that fits on your table. It's basically a speaker that you can tune into any of the 50 tvs that have games on in the place.

BWW's offers this in more locations than Hooter's, but they both do where I live.

i have butler and wvu game in 720p hd, but my baylor copy is not the greatest quality. neither is purdue. if anyone is able to get those in 720p, i would be very happy and of course would love to share my final four games too.

and i have no cal or arkansas copy -- would be nice to get it all :)

[Son of Mojo]

Got them set in my dvr now as well, though the Purdue game doesn't look like it's taking for some reason. That one I'll have to double check on. It will be really nice to see the Baylor game without local affilate channel 2's "great" weather break-ins that nearly ruined the 2nd half for me. But (and for those around the Triad area will know) we'd expect nothing less from channel 2........

How crazy am I that I am uber excited to watch the Arkansas Pine Bluff game tonight? I didn't get to see it originally since I was in New Orleans for their first and second round games. Even though it was the in between day for the New Orleans games, I probably had a few too many hurricanes in my system to focus on the Duke game since it was the last one of the night. Oh well. Tonight I will focus. Go Devils!

I believe that, in most cable systems, the CBSC channel is part of an optional "Sports Pack" that you're required to order for an additional monthly fee. Here in Tampa on Brighthouse, we get the high-def Sports Pak that includes more than 20 channels for less than $5 per month.

Oh WOW!! Sorry to hear that. I have threatened bodily injury to my son if he accidently deletes the championship game & the ESPNews post game interviews.

Here is a great website that you can review some of the games by team over the past 10 years.

Did anybody else notice that the video quality was not nearly as good as the live broadcast?
It also took up half (or less) space on the DVR.
I'm lucky enough to get it in HD, but it is a low quality HD for sure.
It's a little disappointing.

I'm sure I'll enjoy the Final Four games anyway. :)

compressed..


i am watching pine bluff right now......zoub's energy and focus is off the chain....

[moonpie23]

i know i just totally rainbow zoubs, but i am having the luxury of watching him and him only during the pine bluff game and man, he is a ball MAGNET.......

his ferocity going for the ball is challenging his own team to do the same...


go freaking zoubs.....this is just the first game...

looking back, i've got a little pain of guilt for not believing more...

[Bluedevil114]

This was the one game all year I did not get watch the entire game. Because once it became a blow out they swtiched to other games. Although it was no contest it did seem we were forcing things and the focus from the big three was not quite there.

Who cares right, we won the tournament but looking at this game alone Duke did not play up to its potential unlike the next game against Cal.

I thought the Cal and WVU games were the best two games Duke played in the tournament.

[basket1544]

I've now seen the Ark-PB game more often than the others (my husband left yesterday after the third showing) and I agree that the big 3 didn't seem as focused on this game as the others. Remember how worried we all were that Jon's shot was never going to show back up? However, Lance and Zoubs were huge in this game. Every loose ball was theirs. Every time there was too much dribbling or standing around the two of them went to the rack. It was pretty awesome to watch and I can't wait to see the Cal game next.

Reminder: Duke--Cal game on tonight 7/19 at 11:00 PM.

[Bluedevil114]

This was definitely the Plumlees best game in the tournament. Duke begins to pour it on from here on out.

It's fun sitting back and watching these games without the blood pressure thing being an issue. There were moments, I think, during this past tournament where my pulse was zero.

Mickey K's reaction after the Baylor game is all one needs as evidence of this.

[Bluedevil114]

Reminder: Duke--Purdue game on tomorrow 7/21 at 4:00 PM.

[DevilDan]

Can't wait to see the BAYLOR game again -- you know, the one where their bigs were just "too athletic" for us, and their guards would "shoot lights out against our perimeter defense, and drive past our guards" ? That's what we heard in the 2 days before the game, along with "this is like a home game for the Bears, and Duke can't win on the road" .... rrrrrrrright !

Funny, he takes hits right and left, but remember, it was the GREAT DICKIE V who told Digger, Jay, Hubert and the rest ... that the "DUKIES" would WIN IT ALL ...

[moonpie23]

oh yeah......everyone was saying that this was the game where Duke would get pushed around....."duke can' compete physically with baylor!"


what a great game...
