Wondering if anyone else is having any luck watching the tour on Versus/NBC using their PC and a 3G cellular connection? This is the only thing available to us for the rest of the tour.

NBC's website says it is broadcast in HD and I doubt that the connection would support that. Sent an email to them prior to the beginning of the tour and got no response.

Hi Jim,

My hubby is a BIG fan of the Tour. He was wondering the same thing. Apparently there is some place on the web you can pay $20.00 (I think) and watch it. He is currently camping nearby and only has his netbook with an aircard. We tried testing his ability to watch this by viewing some of the clips on YouTube. Unfortunately in our case the clips were buffering so badly either as a result of the connection or YouTube itself, that he gave up any hope of paying the $20.00 and watching it.

I'm recording it at home on the DVR so when he gets home he can see it.
