Those are good tips for going to training camp, but what would you suggest for those who can’t go? I’m a few time zones away in Denver but still want to stay up-to-date on what’s going on with the Steelers. So far I plan on using the Dish Remote Access app on my iPad to watch ESPN and NFL Network live or catch SportsCenter recordings on my DVR. My coworkers at Dish love talking about football, but it’s mostly Broncos country out here, which will make things tense for the regular season opener!
