NFL Gamepass blackouts. Will you be signing up?

jack presley

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

You couldn't last week but they said they'd have it fixed for week 2. We'll find out in about 20 minutes I suppose

Is there any way to maximise the screen when you have four games up? i.e, make the 4 games as big as possible

Yes, buying gamepass for the first time regardless

Redzone worked beautifully for me last nite, first on a laptop using IE then on an Android tablet. But when my live game started I had some issues on the tablet for about 10 mins (screen pausing and then skipping forward, missed a couple of plays for example). Whatever was the reason it sorted itself out and worked like a dream. And we won, happy days.

Was coaches film always only available in full for season plus people?

Have they forgotten to black-out the Patriots game?
Looks to be the case to me.

I had the blackout for the Pats game and for the curnt game on Sky too. We're you using a VPN or something?

There were some mic problems with the refs in some games as far as I remember, other than that it was perfect

I've only just discovered gamepass, so I'm hoping to get it in time for this weekend, but I wonder if I can ask a couple of questions first

1. I've got an 8M connection, and seem to consistently get around that speed on speedtest, so will I be able to watch hd games?

2. I've got an old netbook (msi wind) hooked up to my TV through a standard VGA cable, so my plan would be to open gamepass in IE, and maximise it. Is there anything wrong with that plan?

I've found that unless you have an HD TV, you won't see anything if hook up Game Pass to your TV.

8 Meg its loads especially if that's the actual speed your getting. VGA will not carry full HD though so you may lose some quality.

Buying today, anyone got a promo code?

What's the spec (memory., processor) of your laptop?

I found I had to upgrade my laptop to play the feed smoothly at the highest setting.

VGA will be fine but I don't think it will carry sound so you may need a seperate cable for that or else just use the speakers on your netbook.

I think this is it, been ages since I bought it and it's no longer in stock anywhere. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSI_Wind_Netbook

As for the sound, I currently have it hooked up to my TV and I watch shows from the cousin with sound and all sorts. It does choke if I try to watch anything with 720p in the title, so maybe HD is out of the question - is there non-HD content?

adrian522

Yeah, there are about 4 or 5 different quality settings so you just pick the highest one that plays smoothly for you.

There should be a free sample on the website so you can check out what sort of quality you would get.

After a month of hassle I've finally been able to sign up.

Magic moment on Redzone this week. Almost completely simultaneously, Russel Wilson hits Sidney Rice in the endzone, Jay Feely misses a chip shot field goal for the Cardinals that would have won them the game, and RG3 takes off and scores a 75 yard rushing TD that tied up the game for the Redskins. Great entertainment.
My first year with Gamepass, and reckon it's well worth the €130. €7 a week is a steal for all the content you get.

Can anyone tell me why they are so slow to upload Gameday to the archives the past 2 weeks? Love watching it but it still isn't up for the week gone and it's Wednesday now!

Just watching Saints/Buccs on NFL - they're giving me a 5 minute preview of the game but fecking hell the quality is so much better - will defo be signing up next year because it's nice being able to see the ball in the air compared to some of the streams that I have to fall back on.

If only I had the money to pay for it this year

I finally got all my Hd connections for the laptop to tv and surround sound connected. the quality of the picture is unreal, its better I reckon than standard quality tv on the HD tv.

i had problems with it yesterday to the point where i stopped watching it because it keep freezing and then when i had picture it kept skipping back a few minutes and i had to watch the same stuff all over again (sometimes 2 or 3 times):mad:

Bateman

picture and sound quality kept being interrupted yesterday, and then got a message saying due to limited bandwith on the network, the content cannot be displayed. Had assumed it was my own connection, anyone else get this?

The Game Pass people said on their Twitter account that they were having technical problems due to Hurricane Sandy. It seemed to resolve itself after halftime from the 1pm games. The skipping was seriously annoying though.

Bateman

It was spot-on last night for the Saints game anyway so I'd be inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt

Pudsy33

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but seems like the best place to ask. I have gamepass, but I would imagine the Ravens Broncos game will be blacked out due to the restrictions this Sunday. Does anyone know away around the blackouts?

Thanks
