Anyone know of television outlets who will have live feeds to coverage? I'm outside the US but have a VPN.
Edit: C-Span will have coverage starting at 8pm Eastern according to their website.
I've had one response with some links, but hoping for more.
Edit 2: Still no other links. Checking all of the major networks to see if they will have direct feeds, if not it looks like the secondary feed or C-Span may be it.
Edit 3: This one is good. Watching CNN via this link (Hat tip to Tx4obama):

(27,985 posts)I kid. I don't actually have a clue. I haven't had cable for 15 years. But really, Al Jazeera is my go to for all news international. I just suspect that the Iowa Caucus just might not be considered all that important internationally.

(22,000 posts)That's why I was looking for a feed from the US. I had cable in Korea, but here in China all we get is the programmed government crap. Thanks anyway though.

MSNBC: http://www.rentadrone.tv/msnbc-live-rockinroosters/
I'd guess that those two stations should have quite a bit of coverage on Tuesday.
Hope that helps.
I'll keep these on my list. I'm still hoping to add to it just in case.

(36,974 posts)there is a United States section on the link below
BIG LIST HERE: http://www.tvpc.com/ChannelList.php
p.s. I only use any links from the link above if the other two links that I previously posted aren't working for some reason.
p.s.s Some of those USA links on the link above are finicky and need to be clicked on twice before they start up and sometimes they take a few extra seconds to load.

(22,000 posts)Getting feeds to watch things especially news is a pain when you are outside the US.
Offtopic:
I have long ago given up on NFL football except to watch it on rare occasions when NBC has their Sunday night games on. Sometimes the sacrifice of living overseas is not worth missing the food, politics and football at home.

(36,974 posts)when I've been to Italy a few times for long periods of time I didn't really miss US TV.
I did love all the Italian stations (news, variety, cooking shows) over there because I was still working on learning the language at the time.
I guess it would be difficult for folks that are sports fans.

(36,974 posts)are better than the ones in comment #6 for CNN and MSNBC, in my opinion.
But I've used both several times depending on which ones were working the best
Also, on this link that I posted before: http://www.rentadrone.tv/cnn-live-stream/
toward the top of the page there are links for streaming Current TV (Olbermann), C-Span1,2,3, and a bunch of others.

(62,265 posts)Would appreciate more links in your OP if they come along!
And I'll use this opportunity for a gentle bump of the thread.
