Re: Getting Pats games overseas

I've been overseas and out of town a number of times during Pats games. Aside from illegal streaming services, the best and easiest legal way is to buy a Slingbox ($100+) and hook it up to your cable box and the internet. Then, from anywhere in the world from a browser and an good internet connection, you can log into your own cable box and watch the game live. Works great -- I've done it many times.

Yes you are (wrong).
Gamepass has both. I have to admit that I swallowed hard and waited through 1 game of pre-season to buy due to price; but don't regret it now.
I have live access to the game (although I now prefer to watch about 20-30m delayed so i can zip through commercials and halftime & also put my daughter to bed when is a 1pm EST (7pm me) start) or replay at any time.
I usually watch on my home wifi and despite the not so fast connection I have it never hangs when it is on play. Just the 10sec FF button annoys me to heck. I wish there was a 30s button (commercial length) and that it would react a little faster; I sometimes waste 8secs of pause time to jump forward 10s.
you also get the all-22 (by Wed) and a condensed version of the game (around next day after game) as well as able to watch all the nfl shows (redzone, analysis, etc) live or delayed on-line as well.
all in all is good deal and worth it if you are overseas. I think there are different eligibilty & access rules stateside and overseas though. You may have to check that out - not sure if they enforce that by the IP of how you log in or using your billing address. So for someone who wants to use sometimes in USA and sometimes overseas - I dont know how that works. Maybe someone else has used in both environments and can advise.
