    Watched the condensed game for the first time.... wow every play bang bang bang. A couple more replays of plays would be good especially on catches that are hard to spot on first showing. Other than that great way to catch a game you are interested in but don't have 3 hrs for. I'll be taking in the other AFC West team's games this way starting with Atlanta KC.

    Don't forget if you watch the archived game they cut out all the ads so it's a good bit shorter than 3 hours, usually under 2 hours so if it's a game I'm interested in I'll do that rather than the condensed version though I agree it's a great feature.

    I don't know about the PS3 but there's no NFL app on the ATV. The NFL are usually ahead of the game and the fact that Apple got the other 'big 4' sports to sign up makes it a bit of a mystery as to why it isn't there.

    Have you thought about connecting your computer to your TV? That's what I'm going to do using the HDMI ports.

    I have in the past connected the laptop to the tv, i was just hoping there would be a nice handy solution using either the ATV2 or the PS3. I had seen the MLB app on the ATV2 before. It's a bit strange they have not got the gamepass one

    Watched the game on gamepass Wednesday night and every few minutes a VoiceOver kept coming on saying "For NFL fans outside the US.........." It was an advertisement for gamepass. There was no way to turn this off or mute it etc and was annoying as 1. I already have a season pass and 2. I was trying to watch the game!!!

    Has this happened anyone else?

    did you leave the original browser window open?

    As in when you go to game pass and click launch it opens a new window, sometimes the original window will have that video add playing so maybe check that if the same thing happens again.

    Is this right? I watched Giants-Cowboys on Thurs morning, still with all the ads. Archived, obviously, not live.

    Yeah it takes them a few hours to do it but it was fine for me after work yesterday, no ads.

    Love the way you can choose which audio source to use as well (Broadcast, Team X or Team Y), I just noticed that.

    By the way, how many people bit and ended up buying Game Pass during the week? :D

    Technical issues according to their rep on NFLUK. They're aware of the problem and are working on it apparently.

    It doesn't bother me to be honest, but do the scores always run along the bottom of the screen on the live broadcast of games?

    If anyone is still considering it, go the VPN route. I can confirm it is working for free with no blackouts! RedZone also works.

    Delighted I accidentally went on there with my dutch vpn connected.

    Is anyone having trouble logging into game pass? I can get in at all, it asks for password but goes blank then

    I wouldn't bother. It's a few seconds behind the play. To do it you hover over the little wheel thingy beside the volume button

    Reading the NFLUK forum and there were loads of people with problems. Some are even calling for refunds. I was watching the Redskins v Saints game and for the most part it went ok with only a few freezes. I did have problems when I had two screens open with Redzone in the second one but I enjoyed my first week with Gamepass.

    It was also nice to actually get the game break when I'm used to just silence when ever they said that when I was watching on Sky
