This is for those of us who have to suffer through temps below 50F through winter, check out Roku if you have not yet heard about it. I bought the Roku stick off of Amazon for $50, it plugs into your HDMI port and taps into your wireless network streaming directly to the TV. One of the free streaming providers is Sail TV, found in the Channel Store. I have been able to watch the 2012 America's Cup, Extreme Sailing Series with 52' carbon cats racing, some monohull racing which is not too bad as these highly developed boats get up and go, and even watched a Hobie 16 Racing Challenge in the Philippines.
For those of you who do not have temps below 50F and don't go sailing because you think its too cold - shame on you!
Hope this helps all sailors get through the winter

Thanks, just got it. Watched an A-Class world Championship, a lot of of the sub channels seem dead but still worth a look
