I knew about this service, but didn't know I only needed the VPN for signup! I didn't think streaming from "another country" would work, great to know I only need that to set it up. It is pretty expensive though, wish they had a plan to only watch one team. But better than nothing, I guess.

Yea, you just need to be VPN'd to log in. Once it has an auth cookie set, it stops doing any geo-IP-enforcement. Even if they enforced it during streaming I would still try it. The quality options range from like 800kbps to 4500kbps. I'm sure certain VPNs can provide high-ish bandwidth.

It's ~$200 USD per season, but Sunday Ticket is $350 and even a modest cable subscription pushes $50/mo, so it seems fair to me. They actually have a "follow your team" option, but it's only ~$30 less and only covers the pre/regular season.

I really can't endorse the service enough. It's a cord-cutters dream, and one of the few online streaming services where non-Americans are much better off.
