    No, had gamepass before but not buying it with blackouts, wil use sky
    I'd forgotten how annoying Steve Mariucci is on NFL Gameday Morning. Especially that Mini Mooch segment.

    That mini mooch is pain in the hole alright. I like mariucci though. Why the hell did Marshall Faulk have a crown on his head earlier ?

    Where gamepass comes into its own

    Excited myself although with my Redskins not playing until tomorrow, it's not the same as had they been playing at 6pm.

    What time does the 6pm kickoff coverage usually start on Gamepass? I'll be primarily watching Bears @ Texans.

    Smack bang on 6pm usually if I remember correctly. Gameday runs right up to kick off.

    6pm sharp redzone kicks off with scott hansen and runs until midnight or thereabouts on the 930 game ends

    anyone having problems getting gamepass via unblock-us?

    Yeah it doesn't work any more. As I've said a few times it has been completely locked down every time I've tried all off-season

    Feck.

    Good to know though. Are there any workarounds?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,163 ✭✭✭Beefy78


    I've tried Unblock-US and Hola and neither have worked. Not tried anything else because it isn't a huge deal for me, more an inconvenience.

    Yes, buying gamepass for the first time regardless
    Anyone know how long it usually takes for games to be processed and available for watching commercial free or condensed?

    49ers game tonight will likely finish about 6.30am our time, I'm guessing it won't be ready until mid-morning?

    I usually get up between 6:15-6:30 and normally the game is there. And games normally end about 4:45 don't they? So it looks like it's about a 90 minute turnaround.

    Thanks. Trying to come up with a strategy for tonight. 3:20 is a balls of a start time. Nearly time for work by the time it ends.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,163 ✭✭✭Beefy78


    The game goes pretty much straight away but it's the whole broadcast, all 87 Peyton Manning adverts included. They then get to work on editing it and the eventual, ad-free version usually goes live about 7.30am. Tonight's late start will obviously be later than that.

    I've never got up to watch a game and the Condensed version wasn't there so I'm guessing that that goes up surprisingly quickly after the game is over.

    You obviously don't get up too early!! :P

    From past experience condescend 1.30am games go up between 6 and 7am.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,163 ✭✭✭Beefy78


    I got up at 5.30am for the Broncos game on Thursday and the condensed game was there. Was that an earlier kick-off than most Thursday games?

    Is the Rams 49ers game the second game tonight ? So Chris Berman will be calling that game then. It's normally up fairly quickly as a full recording of the game as broadcast.

    The option to download games is still there in the iOS apps so it must be an iOS only thing


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,512 ✭✭✭baby and crumble


    Yeah apparently it's a function of the ios app only.

    Well that is very annoying, used the download feature all the time last year! :(

    Anyone know if red zone works on the Apple TV this year?

    Sorry if already answered.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,163 ✭✭✭Beefy78


    It should yeah but it didn't on Sunday. If you go into 'Live' on the app it gives you the option of the NFL Network live stream and Redzone and if you click Redzone it says it is only available on Matchdays from 1pm EST but it wouldn't load this week.

    If you've an iPad or iPhone you can access Redzone on the app on those devices and then stream that to Apple TV via Airplay (which is what I did this week) but its a pain in a the arse considering the app should work.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,173 ✭✭✭BKWDR


    Anyone use the gamepass app with an LG telly?

    Aside from mirror cast I can't find a way to cast to the telly

    Audio behind the video again on the condensed game. Only by half a second or so but enough to make it annoying.

    Just set up GamePass with ChromeCast for the first time. Can't believe I've waited this long. The quality is stunning.
