    Do you need Hola or such to sign up or is it an assumed address?

    It seems the subscription is only cheaper in Portugal if you go for regular season only. If you want the package that includes the playoffs, the price is the same.

    Is this what other people saw?

    If so, what is your plan for the playoffs? Sign up for a playoff only package at the end of the year?

    Yeah its only the regular season that is reduced rate.

    Playoffs is a mixture of making your gamepass thinking it's in another country other than Irl/Uk or watching on Sky or i think Chan4 might have one or two games too...

    Yes, but even if you trick Gamepass to think you are outside Irl/UK you will not be able to watch playoff games without signing up for the package that includes playoffs (thus not availing of Portugal saving).

    Yeah true, the saving is only on the package post December.

    I think there is some confusion. You just sign up using Portugal VPN

    Once purchased you just login and open up the app / site. As far as i recall earlier in the thread, the guy who told us about the Portugal deal just logged in and it worked a treat.

    So you just need VPN / Hola for the sign up / payment / registration

    Cheers. thanks for that. For €80 if it allows me to download the Giants game (all 4 wins :o), then I might just do it.

    1. Download Hola (either as pc web browser add-in or else for iPad, install it)
    2. Switch Hola to Portugal (either on self-evident web-browser or else for iPad, in Settings)
    3. Navigate to the Game Pass subscription page and the page will display Portugal prices

    That’s it, was easier than I thought. I noticed the Season Plus was the same price alright. Guess you can still use the 15% though

    Feature on Bloomberg at the moment on the NFL. They just did a preview on the new 49ers stadium, looks the business.

    More importantly, they've launched their first Apple TV app - it's the NFL Now product.

    Hopefully they find a way of linking Game Pass content (Game Pass holders have already paid for the content contained on the Now product) to this, or another app. But it's a start.

    Nope. I've tried using plex to stream gamepass to the chromecast which almost worked. Picture comes through perfect but audio is garbage.

    Check put the comments underneath the app in the play store. Everyone is giving out that Chromecast is not supported.

    Surely they will take notice.

    yeah it works for a while but it can boot you again. very annoying. i'm looking at the HTTP requests and it just seems to be a call to a http://gamepass.nfl.com/nflgp/servlets/checkgames that boots you. if that is blocked it works all the time. same with sharing logins, we tested sharing 2 if that URL is blocked. but everybody on account has to watch the same stream unfortunately.

    Probably a dumb question, but does using Hola help get around the Sky blackouts? Does Hola impact the quality/connection in any way?

    And also, I forget. Is Redzone blacked out for Ireland/UK?

    Thanks

    Not sure about the first one but Redzone isn't blocked out in Ireland.

    No, was going to buy gamepass for the first time but not with blackouts, will use streams
    Hola will impact the connection, yes. But if you find a good server it shouldn't be a problem. I have to use a UAE server on Hola when I want to watch beinsport and it can play the 1.5MB stream without a problem.

    It should stop the blackouts as well.

    There always is in December usually about 15
    All post season games are blacked out tho so it's only good for nfl network and the series/back games etc.

    I'm setup using plex to a smart tv and I noticed on Sunday that if I started plex 1st and went to the game I wanted then started the android app I could have redzone at the same time on the second screen -- may be useful to you all if using plex
