Game TV - Q1'25 Stuff

[Blanquepage]

Good news for those of us that missed the first weeks of syndicated Sale of the Century, they're starting to air it from the beginning at 5PM ET.
It also appears that we'll be getting "fresh" episodes of Bumper Stumpers season #1 towards the end of the month, as they move beyond #80.
Nice to also see Blockbusters '81 getting some airtime, it's about time one of Bill's shows popped up on the network.

Semi-hijacking this convo for a second.

Can someone explain to the computer/tech illiterates (Hi, how are you? )  - how to watch this from the comforts of my American living room?

Thanks !

First you would need a PC plugged into your TV through an HDMI port, or a way to screen-mirror the output of a PC to your TV. Then you would need a VPN service of some kind, and you would need that VPN service configured to be connected to a Canadian server. (This way, it appears as though your PC is in Canada.) Finally, you would need a subscription with one of the Canadian TV providers that carries GameTV (or perhaps there is a Canadian streaming-only service akin to Sling that has it) and hope that the VPN connection is enough to get around their geofencing to allow you to authenticate so you can stream the channel through the PC and display it on your TV.

Alternately, get a Big Ugly Dish and maybe there's a satellite to pluck it off of?

The likelyhood of there being a pirate stream of it is exceptionally low.

There are quite a number of legally questionable IPTV services with which you can watch GameTV without the need for a VPN, some that even have apps for Roku or Amazon Fire or the like.
