Was checking all of them out last night and found out that in Hawks' homepage, you can find the asx link where you can still view it if you're not in Japan.
Also checked the other 5 PL teams, and only the Hawks have this function.
Rakuten also canceled its net TV and joined with Yahoo! as well. So now we have Rakuten, Marines, Fighters, and Hawks available on Yahoo! TV - exclusively to viewers in Japan.
And then there's Hawks themselves letting overseas people watch them. Hmm. Someone smell something fishy there?

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

Last year, once I found the .asx link, it was merely clicking it on my desktop. They had two versions - one was the basic TV view (which I watched), and the other was the fancy one (which as I'm on a Mac, I can't see because it required WMP 10). Now it looks like they require the latest version of everything for even their basic broadcast (IE + WMP, neither available for Mac).
Is there a simple .asx link like there was last year?
Luckily, KBC radio/TV is carrying their televised version over the Internet.
