I will be living in Germany (just outside Berlin) for the next 10
months. I wish to watch the NFL either on TV or via the internet. I
need information to accomplish this task.

Dear habitated, 

Where, "just outside Berlin"? 
Some places have DSL/Cable access, some don't; Some have cable TV,
some don't; Some are close enough to the huge American community in
Berlin.

I could probably find several possibilities for you: - 
(1) Pubs in Berlin (or Brandenburg, if really lucky - places like
Potsdam or Frankfurt/O) that show NFL games
(2) TV/Cable that shows NFL and available in your area. 
(3) And of course, the enquire the possibility to watch it over the
Internet.

We are in Buchholz, former East Germany. It is a small community of
180 people East of the city. Our home currently has a satellite dish
with no box. There is no cable access in this village. Berlin center
is a 35 minute drive, provided that traffic is good. I don't know of
any American communities yet. I have asked if there is a military base
close by, everyone has said no. They do reference the American
Embassy. My preference would be to purchase a reciever and service if
that is possible. Direct TV has indicated international service, but I
can't find out whether they have a branch here in Germany.
