    That option isn't there for me at all. No matter what browser I try or on my phone... you using any proxy or in a different country?

    Doubt its available for phone yet.
    Doubt its has anything to do with proxies.
    Silly question but have you the chromecast plug-in installed on your chrome browser.

    I didn't actually and that seemed to be the issue, installed the google cast extension and now the button is there.

    Nice one!

    So Chromecast only works on live full games so far? Not available for redzone or NFL network?

    Found GP to be a bit choppy last night, usually it takes a while to warm up but i had the laptop plugged straight into router and all.

    Yeah I was the same, very stop-start at certain periods. Thought it was just my connection but apparently not.

    Am on UPC myself. Was turning everyone off that was accessing via wifi and all but sure after an hour it would be grand but then would have a fit of about 20 seconds. Annoyingly happened on some big plays.

    It's available for the Redzone and what ever show is on the NFL network at the time.

    Every football game going back to 2009 is available via chromecast.

    It was awful for me last night, constantly starting and stopping the whole night. Hopefully they get it sorted for next week.

    So, good to know it wasn't just me with GP problems yesterday. Worst day all year and we don't need this shít starting as we near the business end of the season.

    Yes, buying gamepass for the first time regardless
    Great to hear so many others had the same issues as me last Sunday night. Make sure to write them like I did so that they know it was not a one off thanks.

    I was trying to watch the Charger game but is was messy as F until the 4th quarter (the video quality that is, not the game, but that was pretty messy too!!). But I'd jump over to redzone now and again and it seemed fine.

    Apologies if this is already discussed, I searched for unblock us and didn't see anything. Thought this might help some folks!

    I Just got myself a 7 day trial of gamepass via unblock us (which I use for netflix anyway, $4.99 per month) and I used my own card and address and it all worked completely seamlessly. They have a "how-to" of using it, but it's honestly so easy. It sets you up automatically to Australia when signing up (but you can sign in using any existing log in if you have a gamepass already) and no blackouts, working perfectly. I'm watching some old games right now. Really only got the trial to watch the Packers Patriots game on Sunday. So far I'll be using this system to sign up next year for the full season for sure!

    I dont know what happened last weekend as I saw no nfl live due to issues I needed to sort out that came before the nfl. But how bad was it last weekend ? Also I love the football life watching it on a Saturday morning just chilling and relaxing.

    Because I already have a subscription for Unblock Us (I use it to watch Netflix Us) and I just find it super easy, that's all.

    Once the console is open, just turn off Hola. It should stay in the same region.

    I wish mine wasn't working, it'd give me an excuse not to watch the train wreck that is this Washington Redskins team.

    Just updated my game pass app on iPad and it now supports chrome cast, bit late in the season but better late than never

    Saturday's games are being blacked out so have the VPNs handy.

    Edit - Scrap that, blackouts gone it seems.
