    The quality on chromecast is brilliant. only used it a couple of times and usually just used the HDMI connector. But will be definitely use Chromecast from now on the whole time.

    So we should get the wildcard rounds.

    Anyone know of any cheap sign up links until next year? I thought they might reduce the price.

    Can't seem them reducing the price much until after each weekend. Demand will be high enough they probably wont need to.

    Might take this up. Got chrome cast stick during the week so it should be well worth it off season. Actually what are the off season highlights?

    I don't have that offer. 39.99 for me!

    Edit - However, I changed to using the Portuguese site and I got that offer now :).

    Mods - Please delete if this question is against the rules.

    I have Gamepass, including playoffs.
    I am going to use Hola to access the games live on the phone as they will be blacked out.
    However us it also possible to Chromecast them from the phone ?

    Would it be as simple as setting Hola "Back to Ireland" once the stream has started or once i have started the Gamepass app ?

    I think it should be ok. You don't need to wait for game to test it either. Can check it straight away when you're home.

    If it's like Netflixs it won't work, I was watching Netficks via a VPN in Spain fine but when I tried using chromecast the signal then came from the modem which has a Spanish IP and won't let me stream unless I changed server settings on the modem.

    Game pass could treat things differently though.

    The difference between the two though is that you have to keep the vpn signed in for netflix but once you log into gamepass you can sign out of vpn (at least last year). Bearing in mind i have not casted gamepass. I'm sure someone who has subscribed this year can tell you.

    You can cast with it. Netflix is supported natively by the Chromecast so when you try to tab cast, it picks up Netflix and launches that. Gamepass isn't so the tab casting works straight away

    Well I only use the VPN for the blacked out games, I am regular subscriber so i can get the NFL Network etc without the VPN

    Anyway I used the laptop to cast this weekend and it was very successful.

    I installed the Google Cast add on to my Chrom browser.
    I used Hola to get a Dutch VPN.
    All I had to do was login, select the game and then revert to the Irish IP
    There was a small 'casting' icon for each game that that cast it with Chrome Cast no problem.
    I did not have to cast the whole desktop on the laptop as I was expecting to have to do.

    That isn't working for me, I just used several Portuguese VPNs and I'm still getting £29.99 (€39.99).

    Should be up there as soon as the game ends, though the ads wont be removed at that point. You'll need to use your VPN to get around the balckout restrictions.

    I couldnt get the Pats game last night on it and copied the web address and put it into the chrome browser and just cast that tab. Was good, but not as good as the direct chromecast option. tonight then, I log in (all via hola by the way) and I have the chromecast option on the Pats, Seahawks and Packers game. Watched all the Packers game through the chromecast option, but am back to casting the browser now for the Denver game. really odd. where it should be, is beside where it says 'watch' on each game when you open up the gamepass web browser page.

    I was wondering the same myself and asked the same question to the Gamepass rep on the NFLUK's forum. I'll post here when I get a response.

    Here's the answer I got back re Undrafted (and someone else had asked him about Finding Giants):

    "Sorry, Finding Giants and Undrafted will not be available as archived content within NFL Game Pass this season. Unfortunately, we can't say whether they will or won't be available next season at this point either."
