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

    interesting.. i normally just stick in the hdmi cable

    Gamepass kept closing out of the game and going back to to the gamepass menu on my Apple TV yesterday.

    Plan B was then to airplay it across from the computer but the audio was about 5 seconds behind.

    So I ended up having to watch it on the computer. First issue I've had with Gamepass. Any other ATV users ever have these issues?

    Nope, not seen that. I watched Saints @ Giants yesterday on the Apple TV app yesterday and it was fine then used Airplay to stream Redzone onto it during the later matches.

    Redzone was buffering a bit through Airplay but no other problems.

    Still no sign of the condensed game. Not usually this late. Was looking forward to wat hung it as I was in work early because of the bus strike.

    Hi there. Planning to sign up for this. Anyone know of any discount codes? No worries if not. Thanks

    Hi Guys is there a blackout on play-offs and the superbowl this season with game pass. I know there was last year but I'm to sure its the same for this season.

    No playoffs and Super Bowl aren't blacked out this season.

    Here is a discount code for Gamepass which can get it for 199 Australian Dollars if that is any good to someone (I dont know the price this year). MUST BE used before 5th October 2016.Maybe you would need to have a VPN that shows you are in Australia to get it :eek: not sure. Please make sure this will save you money before committing. Good luck, send beer if successful!

    Is every NFL fan in America in the market for a new car and a new mobile phone/phone plan? That's the impression I'm getting from watching the ads on GamePass. The vast majority of ads seem to be for one of these.

    Jesus yeah during the ad during the two minute warning they had a subway ad after a long winded set up.

    The medication ads are gas though.

    Actually I find the quality of the ads to be so much better than ours. On a few occasions I've had a little chuckle.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,988 ✭✭✭tripperman


    Find the game pass great got to sit back and relax today and flick between the different game's, wish I had signed up last year for this,


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


    I'm seeing plenty of sound fx clips doing the rounds but nothing posted yet on game pass.. Is it showing up on anyone's?

    I don't remember it being like this in other years but this year on a few occasions, the audio hasn't been in synch with the video on the condensed games. It's very annoying. Last night the audio was slightly ahead of the video which gives away the outcome of the play.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,788 ✭✭✭Vikings


    So what's the current, best way to bypass the gamepass blackout for tonight's game? There's a game I need to watch at 6pm!


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


    Get on a plane to France and log in from there.

    Like Netflix, they seem to have locked down all VPNs, certainly the few that I've tried.

    Watching live now and the sounds cuts in and out every 30 seconds or so. A bit irritating.

    No problems like that for me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,988 ✭✭✭tripperman


    Trying to watch the chargers and sound is cutting outva bit but worse is every few minutes keeps going back asking me to pay to subscribe? I joined up a few weeks back and no issues like this before


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,200 ✭✭✭hots


    I had issues last night where only redzone and nfl network would load... turns out it was not liking chrome, opened it up in edge and it was fine straight away. Pretty sure I came to this realisation at some point last season too.

    The time it's taking to put up the condensed games this season is joke. In other years they were there for download by 6:30. This season it's much later and last night's game still isn't there.

    EDIT - 10:40 and it's still not there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,647 ✭✭✭BaronVon

    Yeah, just went looking for it there, and still no sign!


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,742 ✭✭✭Raoul


    Very annoying!! Not much you can do. Gamepass don't really care haha.

    Muppets!

    I also got a response to my complaint. Basically it just said that it's there now. No excuse, no reason for the delay. Nothing.

    There was also some spiel about how most issues are caused by clearing the browser data which i think is irrelevant to this issue so I don't know why that was included (unless they are saying that the game was there at 6:30 this morning but I couldn't see it because I hadn't cleared my browser! But that doesn't make sense as I wasn't trying to access it from a browser. I was using their app)

    Yeah I was travelling last Tuesday morning and had hoped to take the Panther/Bucs game with me but to no avail. It is a pain in the arse.
