I've only got a dns service atm I'm guessing I'll need to purchase a vpn to get no buffering issues?
Will the current apple TV work with nbc sports or I have to get an older model? I heard that the nbc streams on a laptop is in lower quality otherwise I would use that. I don't have an apple TV but will get it if it's worth using for the football!”
Before spending too much money on new hardware its worth noting NBC only have the rights for one more season and no-one knows yet who will have the US rights after the 2015-2016 campaign.
If your laptop has HDMI out and Windows 8.1 on it then the NBC Live Extra app in the Windows store gives a very acceptable picture, I'd liken it to better than Sky Sports SD on cable but not as good as the HD channel.
You will have the added bonus of of not needing another router and just changing DNS settings on your laptop or running some VPN software.
