Watch Super Bowl XLV Live in Korea

Watch the Superbowl in Korea

If you’ve been around for a while, you’ll have learned about the TVing service from CJ Hellovision and GOM Player. If not, do a search of the donism for TVing.

It keeps getting better and the channel list keeps growing. One of the latest additions was ASN, American Sports Network. This could be good for a lot of sports fans, as they broadcast LIVE and recorded NHL and NFL games (among others).

This means that, of course, they will be airing Superbowl XLV Live on Monday morning (February 7th, 2011) at 8:30 (Korea Standard Time), if my time zone math is correct (and may not be). Here’s their schedule, for proof (times in SG/HK).

All you need to do now is to sign up for TVing, and download GOM Player. It is possible to watch it on the web version with Internet Explorer, but the GOM Player version is more convenient. This is not free, but at 1,000 won it’s *almost* free.

The 1,000 won part comes in if you sign up for one day of TVing service on that day (that includes all channels, including ASN). If you want to use it for a month or 30 days (what?) it’s 3,000 won and 3,500 won respectively. I recommend going for a month!

Details:

What: Superbowl XLV on ASN (American Sports Network)

When: Monday, February 7 @ 8:30AM KST (Pre-Show @ 8:00AM)

How: On TVing via GOM Player (Korean version only) on Windows (Sorry, welcome to Korea!)

Steps: Download GOM Player >> Sign up for TVing >> Choose Package

TVing’s Introductory Pricing

TVing (discussed before) seems to have left open beta, and has thus introduced its introductory pricing structure. And it’s surprisingly reasonable. As a side not, the web interface includes channel chat, a TV guide, select VOD programs, and a nifty channel changer (graphic above).

The (non-porn) packages are as follows:

1 Day (+7 free days of viewing) = 1,000 KRW (regular 1,500KRW)

30 Days (+30 free days of viewing) = 3,500 KRW (regular 5,000KRW)

Monthly (+30 days of free viewing) = 3,000 KRW (regular 4,500KRW)

I am 99% sure about my translation of the last one, and I assume it’s calendar months (as in 1st of the month to the last). And it seems like 30 days is just 30 days regardless of the length of the month.

If you can read Korean and want to verify this (or check out the porn packages), visit the TVing order page.
