    Yes, buying gamepass for the first time regardless
    Lads... Gamepass on xbox? is it available here in Ireland and am I right in saying you can't use it to watch the games Live as one can on the Gamepass iPad app for example?

    It is available here and you can watch games live, or redzone etc.

    You need a subscription to game pass as well as an Xbox live gold subscription.

    I generally watch on my iPad and ping it from there to the big screen using Apple TV.

    I'm getting €180 not €240 though... That could be because at work the computers route through Germany.

    I use chromecast from my iphone/ipad app all the time. Zero problems.

    The way I've always done it is that I have signed up and paid for my subscription using a VPN. If I want to watch a blacked out game I use the VPN on my laptop and watch it there, otherwise the games are all available live on the app without a VPN which you can then cast as normal to the tv using chromecast. It's only the odd game that's blacked-out so it really doesn't effect it too much I find.

    If you have the apple tv you can watch the games via the gamepass app directly so no airplay required. Last season I was able to also watch Red Zone on my iPad while watching a game gets arrow.

    I don't think you could the NFL Network on it though so airplay still required for that.

    I've never been able to get the live games working on the Apple TV app. The replayed games are there though....

    Second this!

    Looking to sign up to Gamepass for the full season for the first time....is it possible to use a VPN to get the best sign-up price, without having to use a VPN throughout the season?

    That's what I do, I only use a vpn to watch the blacked out games on my laptop. Everything else I chromecast from the app on my phone.

    It's Brazil. Sign up using a VPN to say you're in Brazil.

    You don't need to use the VPN ever again (unless it's to avoid Sky blackouts occasionally).

    The euro price is actually a bit cheaper. $R705 is about €189

    Is it strange thought that the page website only has Season Plus prices listed and not the other two packages or is it always like this and the other prices come up later?
