TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin US Football by Satelite TV or Internet

We are renting a villa next fall which has satelite tv. Is it possible to pick ip US NFL football games via either satelite TV or Internet?

French side or Dutch side?? Dutch side CABLE always has US stations, and will have one US station per network, as in one CBS, one NBC, one Fox, etc. So, you will probably get a couple of football games on your TV, but it may not be 'your' team playing. There are a few places on island though that you can see NFL Sunday Ticket and see every game. French side satellite, maybe you can see games, maybe not. You should ask them whether they get US stations or not. But regardless you will be able to see games on island, one way or another.

Thank you for the information. We are staying on french side in villa which advertises satellite tv. Where on the Island can we go that has NFL network? That would be wonderful. We did not watch TV in previous visits but we are hopeful our team will be rocking this year.

Do you mean NFL Sunday Ticket or NFL Network?? Most of the casinos will have every game on. In addition SPN is a sports bar, next to Pineapple Pete. They should have Sunday Ticket and NFL Network. I would sort of doubt that a French side satellite TV provider would have NFL Network, if that is your specific question.

The Atlantis Casino (I think it has a new name) near the Airport has several flat screen TV's, and broadcast a lot of the games. We were able to watch several games at the same time, and if you had interest in a particular game, the manager would put one of the TV's on that game. There were quite a few people that were making wagers on the games at the Casino. The lounge where the TV's are also has a snack bar (sandwiches, salads,etc), and cold beer.

Thank you Carol_Hill.
