    Hi all,

    Decided to try and follow american football this seasion but it seems not having sky sports makes it very difficult to follow a team as channel 4 only show one game a week.
    Is there any way to download and watch a match after it's been aired?

    Ten Yard Torrents is superb

    They banned me for not sharing enough
    I learned my lesson but I'm still banned :(

    There seems to be an option to pay for credit and I may do this

    So google ten yard torrents but you may find they are closed for new members, happens now and again

    there are always rakes of online links where you can see pretty much any game you like.

    or you could get NFL gamepass

    Yeah Ten Yard torrents is class, but you need to maintain a decent share ratio, most matches though should be available on normal torrent sites.

    Only use tenyard if you pay for a headstart on your ratio and use other torrent sites for this seasons games as you dont have to keep up your ratio. If you use tenyard for games make sure they are recent ones as you will find more downloading from you seeding.

    I have about 10 files that im seeding right now on tenyard and some are nowhere near 1.0.

    Just use justin.tv. Theres an American dude called Greg Punzo who streams a lot of games. Even better when his streams are taken down he has a new one up within seconds on his twitter.

    If you want to pay for NFL gamepass you can watch every single game from this season and last season

    It's expensive but you may find it worth it

    thanks for that info

    i had a look at his twitter and it seems his streams are up and down like a yo yo, it is watch-able or do you actually loose the stream that often during a game ?

    They are definelty watchable. Very good quality streams. They do get taken down every 45mins or so. Some will last most of a game. But I keep his twiiter open in another window. He puts up another stream straight away. Usually only miss a play or 2.

    So twitter is good for something then.

    I've been considering getting the NFL gamepass as i've time off work now one day midweek and usually i'd get to watch a game Saturday at some stage too (as well as the usual Sunday night matches live if i can).
    Anyone know what its like as regards TV commercials if you are streaming a match after it has been played?. Is is just American TV coverage (ESPN or whatever) with the ads and do you have to scroll through them?. Presumably if you are watching a non Sky-covered match it is US TV coverage with commercials included.
    Also, looking at the small print the games shown on Sky can't be viewed online till the following Saturday i think. They also some have some restrictions on Android mobile viewing content for the UK, do they include Ireland in these restrictions?.
    If anyone has the gamepass maybe they might tell me what their thoughts of it are!
    Thanks for any info guys.

    edit: getting sick of free streams crashing all the time, hence the thinking about gamepass

    A couple of hours after the game it will be archived on Gamepass and all the ads are stripped out.
    Which is great
