RKASA Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I watch my game of choice over the internet various means. Anything is better then the damn free ad loops they ran for years over and over and over and over again. Just run the ads even if you don't get paid for them, at least it does not feel like waterboarding to watch a limited number of games based on who knows what reason. No use for true at all - watched superbowl at a friends house rather then the normal way I do and there they were the same ads form years past over and over and over again please make it stop.

longball53098 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I haven't heard anything about GamePass downloads... What did their email say about that, in terms of how it would function? +1 I also have not heard or read about any download feature. Could you quote that email from them please? It would seem that would defeat their own copyright laws if anyone could download the games and replay them anywhere they wanted. I would not see any need to download the games as you can replay them anytime, anywhere from almost any device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klikster Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Bit the bullet, signed up the $200 option (I believe all the playoffs plus Super Bowl is worth the $70) Watched the Falcons & Jaguars game yesterday.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 BTW, anyone planning to purchase an online NFL viewing package might try using "REP15" as a promo code for 15% off the regular price. I saw mention of it in one of the online forums for sports viewing, and just used it successfully. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw mention of it in one of the online forums for sports viewing, and just used it successfully. Cheers! Thanks for the heads up, John. I went ahead and got the Game Rewind, too. The live broadcasts in the early AM hours, especially with all the added timeouts they've thrown in over the past several seasons, can really be a drag. Sometimes it makes the live game just about unwatchable. So I'm going to give a Rewind a go and see how it works out. Just have to be careful about seeing a headline somewhere, staying blacked out these days is should be a bit of a challenge!

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) I never have any issues about the spoiler problem. But then again, I consciously don't read online or print sports sections where I'm likely to see that kind of info before I want to... FWIW, the Game Rewind player has a setting whereby you can either turn on or turn off the final score display listings for the game schedules/listings it shows. For me, at least, the game scores feature is permanently set to OFF!!! Re the more expensive live games packages, I too have never quite understood that. I used to try to stay up and watch the Sunday morning and afternoon games sometimes when I had ASN in my cable package (about midnight to 7 am local time). But invariably, I'd fall asleep late into the early morning while watching the game and then wake up the next day feeling like I had a hangover.

klikster Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 +! Raiders announced that Carr will start the season opener. Mack looked pretty good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) That was the best quarter of offensive football I can remember seeing out of the Raiders, and a Raiders quarterback, in a VERY long time... But it's also an eerily similar situation to a year ago, and what happened with Matt Flynn and Terrelle Pryor... And look what eventually happened with Pryor's Raiders' season and where he is now. Regarding Carr: The rookie round two pick's performance instantly sparked a quarterback controversy, much like the one the Raiders had last year when then starter Matt Flynn was out with his sore elbow, prompting the team to name Terrelle Pryor the starter for the season opener. Schaub, like Flynn, was also acquired during an off-season trade. This was undoubtedly a tough spot for Dennis Allen to be in but if he had gone with Schaub, he likely would have weathered far more criticism than sitting him in favor of Carr. Schaub is now an $8 million backup. Pryor played a decent game for the Seahawks. You still get the feeling, like during his better times with the Raiders', that there's potential there. I've always hoped for him that he gets the opportunity to turn his potential into reality in the pros -- unlike when he was playing behind a horrible Raiders OL last season. But overall for this game, it was kind of a treat to get to see McGloin for the Raiders going head to head with Pryor for the Seahawks, former teammates playing against each other.

WatUp Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I think I'm going to go buy an android box and pop for gamepass. Mainly because I can't go another season with those commercials, having to watch the Patriots 10 times a year and I just don't want to give True the 1,500bt a month to upgrade to Gold package. Probably my True internet connection won't be able to handle gamepass anyways and I'll probably end up having to pay them on top of my other investment. Always the optimist I am!!

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Just noticed an article that talks about how Fox Sports this season will be live streaming a lot of its NFL games -- provided you can provide the log=-in ID and password for a participating U.S. cable TV account. They're doing it through FoxSportsGo.com, both via that website and through tablet apps. Here's an article that talks about Fox's NFL streaming: http://www.techhive.com/article/2602223/live-streaming-nfl-games-coming-from-fox-sports-but-with-caveats.html The same FoxSportsGo website and apps also provide access to a variety of other sporting events carried by Fox's various sports networks, including selected college football, UFC matches and various other stuff. But, you have to have a U.S. cable TV log-in to access it. Here's what they're showing will be available for the NFL opening weekend. I'm not entirely sure, but it appears that the games you'd get online via Fox are the same local market broadcasts that you'd get in the area where your cable TV account is located. In addition to the regular season, Fox will also stream four NFC playoff games including one wildcard game (similar to previous NFL seasons) on Sunday, January 4; the divisional playoffs the next weekend; and the NFC championship game on Sunday, January 18. Taking a quick count of Fox's 2014 NFL broadcast schedule the network is set to show 99 regular season games, which means only six of those games won't be available online for home market subscribers. It's not clear which six won't be shown online. On top of the regular season games, sports fans will also get to stream Fox NFL Sunday, the network's pregame show that starts at noon Eastern/9 AM Pacific.

A single seat in the Club section of the new 49ers Levi's Stadium is $325 per game so TrueVisions seems like a bargain David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatUp Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Got an android box and signed up for ilikehd for thai and eng channels for 500bt a month. It's like having True Platinum. ASN2 worked fine but the other true sport channels showing games (2 of them) were in Thai. Game Pass also streaming well so will try to figure out how to get the xmbc addon installed as I'm a total noob with this stuff right now. Still can't believe the value though. I can only assume it's not totally legal and will just stop working one day (ilikehd I mean). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) I was watching ILIkeHD last night at midnight local time, which was 10 am East Coast time (the start of the early game)...to see what would pop up in terms of NFL coverage.... Here's what I found, at least in terms of somewhat indication of where to look in future weeks: ASN 1 -- surprising to me at least, no NFL for that timeslot. ASN 2 -- Fox's Redskins-Texans game, English Audio Sky Sports 1 - CBS' Patriots-Dolphins game, English Audio True Sports HD 3 - Fox's New Orleans-Atlanta game, Thai Audio True Sports HD 4 - CBS Patriots-Dophins game, Thai Audio Didn't stay up to see what happened in terms of coverage for the late game on Sunday.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 ZDNet has a good overview article of some new NFL content options for cord-cutters, as follows (U.S. IPs may be required): http://www.zdnet.com/how-to-watch-the-nfl-on-the-internet-7000033379/ Well, if you just want to watch the highlights, there's the just-launched NFL Now.
