Gamepass HD

    Did anyone else subscribe to Gamepass and if so what did they think?

    I know there were problems for the first couple of hours but those aside, once it was up and running I was totally impressed. I had it running at 1700 kps and the clarity was excellent.

    Watched most of the Giants Skins game (Go G-Men!!!!) and then flicked onto the RedZone TV as the breaks came.

    Really liked the total coverage including half time on the Giants game. Also saw a lot of the early highlights through these.

    It is my first year to subscribe and while I thought it was steep at €200ish, I for one have to say that the product was well worth it. Will enjoy watching the Giants again tonight. :D

    Watched the Hawks vs St Louis game(for my sins)..excellent feed alright and the halftime stuff was good..didnt subscribe for the redzone though..is it worth it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,041 ✭✭✭boccy23


    I didn't subscribe as such. It was an option last night. I had gone for the top package at $279 and it came with it.

    I thought it was well cool. It had all the feeds from the three games which were on. Flicked through them as other games were off and when all three were on a break showed highlights then.

    I wanted to watch all of the Giants game but if I had no direct interest, then the Redzone would be very interesting.

    I was very impressed with it once they got it up and running (they were suffering technical difficulties which meant i missed the 2nd half of falcons victory over dolphins :mad:).
    I have 3MB broadband connection from UPC and was afraid i would need to upgrade to the 10MB package. However once running there were no buffering problems and the clarity was very good

    Great to hear its possible to use this service in Ireland. I cant bring myself to watch sky sports any more and this would be the perfect solution.

    I enjoyed the NCAA march madness on line when it was on really good feed and hardly any lag.

    Can I ask are you guys feeding this into a big screen TV? Whats the clarity like when you put it on tv?

    ive been trying the torrent streams to watch the pre season but the quality and reliability is really bad, not worth the hassle involved searching through forums for game links etc.

    I am using it on a 21" monitor only. But it is excellent quality.

    The pre-season stream put me off as well and I stumped up. Wasn't too impressed with having to but was very impressed.

    It was gr8. Esp like the fact that they are not blacking out the Sky games. At least they were not blacked out last nite.

    is the gamepass stream about a minute behind the live event for everyone?

    Yep, always is.... just ignore gamecenter etc while watching it.

    Am the only one here who had significant trouble with game pass on Sunday evening. I had gamepass last year with no bother and was quite impressed with the service.

    I was kicked out of the Miami Atlanta game last Sunday twice in the first quarter then I could not login again , I got close to getting back in twice but most of the time the gamepass hd login page would not load.

    I lost patience after over an hour and gave up, really spoiled the first weekend of the season for me.

    I agree Leslie it is a great service just a little on the pricey side if you dont get to see the live game you are most interested in. No sign of an email mentioning a refund though I have requested one.

    I got to see the Immaculate Deflection live, so Game Pass has already paid for itself :D

    hooked my laptop upto the tv (32 inch) using a HDMI cable and the picture quality was perfect. Spent most of the first quarter of the eagles match trying to get the sound working tho:mad:

    Nope. But u can flick between games if u have subsribed to the full season pass and not just a team pass. I must have looked in on 10 games sunday.

    Balls again on week two. Was grand up until a half hour ago or so, missing out on all the late action - again. Thought they'd actually have it sorted out after the debacle of week one, alas no.

    Can't access Field Pass as a backup either...
