I'm an out-of-state, Cyclone.TVer, and am looking for a good option to VPN into Iowa for the game. Any options? Worst case scenario is I watch it on ESPN.com and listen by radio.
 
Don't these settings usually go by the zip code you paid for the account with, not your IP address? Things may have changed though.

May not be Apples to Apples, but when I was in Australia I paid to get CBS Sports online feed of the NCAA Tourney, only to find out that I was blacked out because my zip code was from Iowa. I had to purchase it again with our neighbors CC from Kentucky.

Unless your cable company has access to LHN, you won't even be able to stream it on watchespn. I've been testing that theory and anything LHN comes up as not available with my provider (comcast).

It's been confirmed that it will be based on IP, not account address.
 
The cyclones.tv broadcast, WatchESPN will only work if you have a LHN subscription, but will work in any state.

I don't pay for the LHN, but my cable provider ATT Uverse offers it. I just pulled it up on WatchESPN and was pleasantly surprised that the Oklahoma v. Texas replay was showing.

Yeah sorry, I meant to say if you are able to watch LHN from your cable provider or dish (direct does not offer it), you should be able to watch it on WatchESPN, but why not watch on TV at that point?
 
I just checked the TV and indeed I'm getting the channel there too. It used to be part of subscription package. I have a relatively basic package so that's surprising.
