Weird...it was fine on my laptop but buffered on the TV...must be the TV?

Been performing flawlessly for me on all devices I've used (LG app, casting from Android to Shield and PC). Still think it's just a poor app in general though, no real useable fast forward option on TV and console apps and it does not remember where you left off. If they just added these fairly basic features we'd be away with it.

Vudgie · 19-09-2019 10:20am

Are the daily NFL Network shows available without adverts later in the day?

jack presley · 20-09-2019 11:49am

No, had gamepass before but not buying it with blackouts, wil use sky

My first complaint of the new season. Only had time to watch the 5 minute highlights this morning as opposed to the 40 one I usually watch but it went from showing clips of the game going 7-0, 14-0. Then I just glanced down at the score bar and it was 17-7 so they skipped a couple of scores including a Tennessee TD.

I’ve been very happy with the service this season and don’t know if this was a one off or not.

correction · 20-09-2019 11:51am

I watched that too and was very confused. It was literally only a Gardner Minshew highlight reel.

Paladonia · 20-09-2019 12:09pm

Yeah I also spotted this. It's common for them to skip over field goals in the shorter highlights but I've never seen them leave out a TD.

Neamhshuntasach · 22-09-2019 12:01am

Thinking of dropping Sky but will wait until after NFL season if there are blackouts of any of the sky games. Has there been any so far?

None so far. I hope the NFL and Sky have copped onto themselves over the pointless blackouts that people who spend very good money subscribing to a Gamepass subscription are unlikely to rush out to spend more money on a Sky Sports subscription over a couple of these blacked out games

Ohmeha · 22-09-2019 6:05pm

Gamepass gone down!

ScrubsfanChris · 22-09-2019 6:06pm

The stream is now going down on all my devices, even PC
"Problem with broadband connection" - funny that, nothing else is affected

Not working for me on xbox or pc. Says there is an error with my broadband connection which is rubbish

Jofspring · 22-09-2019 6:09pm

Down for me too

hots · 22-09-2019 6:30pm

Can't log in myself

correction · 22-09-2019 6:34pm

Working fine for me on Microsoft Edge.

Itssoeasy · 22-09-2019 6:36pm

It's working fine for me aswell. I did get the issue with my broadband connection except my eir broadband did go down a minute. I couldn't open boards or do anything.

mikemac2 · 22-09-2019 6:40pm

finally working 38 minutes later on a tablet. Didn't work on other devices

Ok will get stuck into Chiefs and Ravens and by skipping ads I can catch up

Requested a week 3 refund through support. They will never reply....

Jofspring · 22-09-2019 6:43pm

Weirdly I said I'd try it on chrome. I signed in but when I go to watch a game it asks me to get a subscription.

ScrubsfanChris · 22-09-2019 6:48pm

It seems to be working ok now but it definitely had problems for the first 15/20 minutes.

Raoul · 22-09-2019 10:03pm

Same problems here for the first twenty or thirty.

adrian522 · 23-09-2019 10:32am

Yes, buying gamepass for the first time regardless

I didn't have any problems last night, had 3 devices on the go from 6pm to 1am

jack presley · 23-09-2019 10:37am

No, had gamepass before but not buying it with blackouts, wil use sky

I couldn’t log in at all on the computer last night but had no issues with Apple TV. Didn’t check the computer to see if the issue is still there this morning.

boccy23 · 23-09-2019 10:44am

No issues on Red Zone but watching the Giants and it stopped a couple of times. Nothing too serious as the ads were never far away and a reload of the game worked.

Ivefoundgod · 23-09-2019 12:02pm

Couldn't log in at 6 and when i got in it was asking me to subscribe. Seemed to sort itself out around 6.15 and was fine on laptop from then on though awful quality on my Fire TV for the chargers game.

BaronVon · 23-09-2019 1:25pm

Was slow to log in at 6, but got in after a few minutes and no hassle after that.

Anyone watch it on the Samsung tv app? The app shuts down automatically after a few hours. Happened at 8:45 last night, so 2:45 minutes after starting the app. I'm wondering is it the tv or the app.....

thomond2006 · 23-09-2019 1:48pm

Same for me BaronVon. It was fine by 6:05.

Itssoeasy · 23-09-2019 4:10pm

As I said yesterday evening it had the "detected an issue with your internet" issue at 6:05 pm but my eir broadband(it's easier to contact NASA than eir) went made at the same time so I assumed it was that and it just exited the app and opened it again and it was grand again and it was sweet as a nut all the way until the end of the late games.

Justin10 · 26-09-2019 11:08pm

On a trip currently in India. Do I put in India details or home detail in Ireland?

Would that make a difference?

Also is India the cheapest anyone know?

TD missing from highlights again.

Itssoeasy · 27-09-2019 6:38am

Condensed version of game up already. Impressive given the game has barely been over two hours.

Double C · 27-09-2019 10:56pm

At last, it's available on Android TV

That “The champ is here” ad is definitely the most annoying one that appear during games.

akenno · 18-10-2019 1:23pm

Are the sky games still not blacked out?

I checked it earlier in the season and they weren't just want to make sure for the hawks on Sunday

jack presley · 18-10-2019 1:50pm

They weren’t the first couple of weeks anyway. I haven’t checked since so can’t confirm.

No mention of the injury in the highlights last night. I thought that would have been a play worth including.

In the Game in 40 the didn't replay it or show Mahomes down, but the commentary said Mahomes is out for the game

alchemist33 · 18-10-2019 2:13pm

I find the game in 40 not as good as I thought it would be. No replays and no explanation, you can lose something important without context. The 7 mins highlights can be a better summary.

Some of the Game in 40s are far too long. Showing multiple replays on a touchdown, only a maximum of one is needed. I'd rather it just go straight from ball snap to play end then straight back to snap again.

The condensed games used to be under around 20 mins which was perfect.

For me anyway, I find the 7 min or so highlights too short and the 40 mins too long, so I'm a fussy git who'll they'll never be able to please....!!!!

So I agree that the 20 minute Condensed Game they used to have was ideal.

I didn't sign up for game pass this year and I am it's no 1 fan. Think it's great for the price etc

Last year, Away from my house I found I was having to use illegal streams for matches and redzone, the app just wasn't reliable. I wasn't really using the shortened game in 40 for anything other than the late patriots games.

So far this season I've managed to get by on using dodgy streams and catching the YouTube highlights that are 11/13 mins long which is ideal. I find I'm watching more of the other late games to catch up using this way.

40 minutes is pretty much bang on my commute so I find it ideal most of the time, I wish they replayed key downs though.

correction · 18-10-2019 5:23pm

There seems to have been an update on the LG app. Watched some of the game last night live and the odd time the Gamepas logo would pop up for a split second as it were going to buffer but it never would actually buffer. First time I've noticed this so I'm blaming the update, it's not a major problem anyway but definitely one to keep an eye on.

20 minutes is too short. The highlights can be 10 or 12 minutes alone. I'm glad they've made it game in 40' as it pins them done to not try their best to go into oscars short film category like they did a couple of years ago.

Good evaluation, it’s just every play one after the other.

I find, having Sky Sports, that the one hour replay of their featured games the next day very good.

They basically spend 15 mins of programme time on each quarter which in real time usually takes 45 mins.

You get re runs of the big plays and some feedback on the controversial incidents.

If GP could do that it would be great.

I had the same on my Samsung TV, with the GP logo popping up. I figured it was a security type thing.....

Anyone getting random gamepass logos for a split second in the middle of play? Watching texans/colts game.

Really appreciating gamepass tonight - life usually gets in the way of me watch football live on Sunday nights. Super to be able to watch a game and interchange with redzone on the laptop with a 3rd game on the TV. Well worth the subscription for me this service.
