It's pretty low maintenance. You can guilt them into it. Just offer to pay for the sports package and maybe a second receiver (because the sling hijacks the receiver).
Of course, as a Saudi AND and EMAW, it might be easier to just buy your own package from a hosting service that can guarantee high speed upload (for HD) and 24-hr service.
In the meantime, there's some carriers listed by fox sports 1 on their FAQ about the new channel that mention carriers with apps where you can watch (like t-mobile TV). Just get your iPad on the VPN, download the free app, and see if the games listed before you buy a package. There's also a connector you can buy at most apple stores to project your output onto the TV with audio.
