As we had reported, NBC is live streaming Super Bowl XLIX on its iPad app and the NBCSports.com website as part of its “Super Stream Sunday” initiative. The best part is the content will be available for free, and without the need of a cable subscription. So if you’re in the U.S. or have a U.S. based VPN, then these are the options to watch it on your iPad, Mac or Apple TV via AirPlay.
