world cup conundrum

Background: The US is playing the Czech Republic today in group play

Problem Statement: I don’t have cable TV, thus, I don’t get ABC as it’s not broadcast over the air here

Alternative 1: Watch live streaming internet tv using TvAnts, which streams TV from China, with commentary in Mandarin. (TvAnts setup here and channel info here)

Alternative 2: Watch on Telemundo, which is broadcast over the air, with commentary in Spanish

Fluency: about equal in either language

Solution: Telemundo wins due to lack of sufficient bandwidth for CCTV. Plus, I don’t have to feel as guilty while “working” from home.
