NLA in North America

[Elverpond]

I dont want to beat a dead horse, but jesus, the NHL lockout is taking forever has there been any progress whatsoever with regards to watching the swiss league in the USA? i cant even find streams. surely though there are a lot of great NA players doing well there right now.

Unfortunately there isn't any place where you can watch streams outside of Switzerland.

No progress at all, unfortunately.

I don't really understand why Swisscom TV (and especially it's teleclub related features) is virtually geoblocked. Would they run into performance problems if they received streaming requests from all over the world?

I can imagine that it would be pretty lucrative to stream the NLA all over the world. At least during the lockout.

If you can manage to have an account there, you can download some NLA games. As well some other championships (FIN, SWE,...)

dammit, this is weird considering how easy it is to watch both German and Austria leagues.

No possibility to avoid geoblocking with a Service like Tor or anonymoX?

If I remember correctly, someone tried but the stream was lagging too much.

On the other hand, I know somebody who managed to watch a game through his company's VPN.

Any hope for the Spengler Cup on American television? I see that TSN is carrying it in canada which usually means that the USA can watch it for free on ESPN3.
