It’s up now.

Thanks, is it normally up early on Monday?

I checked this morning and all the game highlights were there but no sign of the 60 minutes - apple tv app.

davetherave · 05-10-2020 1:24pm

No, had gamepass before but not buying it with blackouts, wil use sky

It was up on the android app by around 8am when I went onto it to catch the second half of the Bears game.

Raoul · 08-10-2020 10:57am

Very frustrating. I can't cast from my phone to the chromecast. Seems to be a problem experienced by lots but no response to it from the support.

Also, on the Android TV app, it is showing the scores in the morning. Is there any way to turn this off? I can't find it.

I’ve emailed them several times and they have replied to me and there has been a response and it’s several questions asked by them and answered by me. There’s been a day of no response but I’ll keep on it as I’ve had some interaction. I’ll report back any thing they tell me on when or how it’ll be fixed.

I just couldn't be bothered emailing them. I saw lots of people have raised the issue.

What an absolute joke

:D

Chromecast seems to be working again.

Double C · 12-10-2020 10:18am

Does anyone use the Gamepass app on the Nvidia Shield? I can't work out how to hide the scores. They are hidden when I log in on my phone and PC, just not the Shield. Its very annoying when I log in to watch the highlights and see the score up on screen!

Posted about that a couple of days ago. It is the same on Android TV. I had to get the wife to put the games on for me in the mornings so I wouldn't see the score. At least now, chromecasting is working again.

If you find a solution let me know.

Did a quick google of it and it appears to be an existing issue for a while now. Don't remember it happening last year though. I'll cast it in the morning, thanks for the heads up on that!

Sky games...does anyone know are they actually being blacked out by Gamepass?

adrian522 · 23-10-2020 1:44pm

Yes, buying gamepass for the first time regardless

They're not. I've been able to watch everything on the gamepass TV app anyway.

markc91 · 24-10-2020 12:26am

Got GP for the 1st time this year have it on firestick, ps4 and smart tv, great for watching the game in 40 when I'm up in the mornings however if for any reason I pause it for more than 5 mins it exits me out of the game and I've to go back into it from the start and fast forward it but its soul destroying pressing the button time after time only for it to FF by 5 seconds or so, dont think there's a fix to this so I'm just venting! Other than that though I'm delighted i got it!

I'm pretty sure they were supposed to bring in a feature this year that you could pick up where you left off but from what you are saying they haven't.

No, was going to buy gamepass for the first time but not with blackouts, will use streams

Do you have a Chromecast capable device?

If you use the android app on a phone/tablet you can cast whatever you want to watch and it's easier to fast forward.

If you miss the chromecast features you could always upgrade to the new chromecast released last week - "Chromecast with Google TV". It's basically a traditional chromecast and firestick combined into one, or more accurately a cheaper Nvidia Shield TV.

Itssoeasy · 02-04-2021 6:54pm

Lads there was an update a couple of days ago and I just updated without thinking but I was looking at the app just now and going through documentaries and I watched a bit but cancelled out of the app. I then went back to what I was watching and was going to go back to the point I had stopped at, but the app remembered where I’d stopped. I know they had said that would be a feature last season but as far as I know it didn’t happen. I checked a game and it does the same. If that’s hear to stay then it’s a big selling point to be able to resume where you left off.

Absolutely, first time getting it last season as i had a 6 month old baby when the season started so watched a lot of game in 40s while feeding him in the mornings but if i left it paused longer than 10 mins or so then id have to start from the beginning and the fast forward was painfully slow so id be all for this.

Slighty off topic but I got a 4k samsung tv and ps5 and i cant seem to get the gamepass app on either. Anyone else had similar problems?

the fast forward on the PS4 is awful. i find the app on the phone and casting it via a chromecast works well. you can skip to wherever you want on the game on the android app.

No price increase, even with the extra game week, which equates to a 25c a week reduction :pac::pac:

The countdown to the 2021 NFL season is underway, and Preseason is around the corner! Plus, we are thrilled to announce that the NFL have confirmed an extra week of regular season action, meaning we are able to bring you even more football in 2021.

We hope you're excited for the return of NFL action! Watch your Cardinals live this 2021 NFL Season as they strive to make an appearance at Super Bowl LVI.

So, with the start of the 2021 NFL Preseason in sight, we wanted to share some details regarding your NFL Game Pass subscription.

More Action. Price Freeze. Better Value! Watch the 2021 NFL Season for less per week from Preseason to Super Bowl LVI.

For the 2021 NFL Season, your subscription fee will be billed on or around August 2, 2021 at the same 2020 Season Pro full price in your market, 163,99 EUR. With the addition of an extra week of NFL action, this equates to a decrease of 0,25 EUR per week from Preseason to Super Bowl LVI – giving you more value from your subscription. If you would like to update your payment preference to instalments, this can be done by following the steps we’ll provide by email on July 1, 2021.

As a reminder, your subscription will continue to include live games, NFL RedZone, Game In 40, condensed game highlights, NFL Network, NFL Programs and more. There will be some extra benefits for NFL Game Pass subscribers for 2021 to make this season the best yet!

An Extra Week of Regular Season Action - New

Just when you thought the NFL Season couldn’t get any better, an extra week of action has been added to the schedule, providing fans an extra week of regular season NFL action. This means you can now watch more football than ever with your NFL Game Pass subscription – how are you going to celebrate that extra week?

Resume Where You Left Off – Available across all devices

Available on only the web last season, this feature has now been expanded across all devices! You can start and stop any on demand program, and pick up exactly where you left off, from any device. This makes it even easier to enjoy your NFL Game Pass subscription where, when and how you want.

Easier To Find, Easier to Watch – New

This season, we will be recommending content just for you. We’re going to be showing you all the best shows that we think you’ll love. Whether it’s favorites like Hard Knocks, America’s Game, or brand new shows that have just been released, NFL Game Pass has you covered!

What do you need to do?

All we ask is that you keep enjoying NFL Game Pass throughout the Offseason. Should you prefer not to return for the 2021 NFL season, you will be able to do so. We will be sending further information detailing the steps to amend or cancel your auto-renewal preferences by email on July 1, 2021.

If you any have further questions, please visit our FAQs here.

Thank you,

NFL Game Pass

Im thinking about a holiday in brazil myself any chance you could pm me I might buy while im there but dont want to have to keep a vpn sub going all the time along with it or tips about it thanks

Big Pussy Bonpensiero · 03-08-2021 5:23pm

The fcukers took money off me this morning. Luckily it was only the holiday price but I distinctly remember turning off auto-renew last year. Would probably have gotten it anyway but it rubs me the wrong way how it was done. No warning email at all like in previous years.

The_Honeybadger · 03-08-2021 10:00pm

I could swear I turned off auto renew as well because I wasn’t sure what I was doing. I decided I would renew in the end but when I went in to the website the last day I was surprised to find that it was already back on.

I found it great last season in fairness, I use it through the XBOX and found the APP worked flawlessly. I know many others have had problems but I’ve been lucky.

Itssoeasy · 03-08-2021 10:07pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117702048#Comment_117702048

I’m the same I renewed and split it up(I know that doesn’t mean I get it any cheaper) because with the no blackouts in Ireland, I can’t really see how I could go back to just using sky sports. And I’ve been relatively lucky and given the back catalogue of games and NFL films and all that it’s a good deal.

Ohmeha · 04-08-2021 10:13pm

I turned off auto renew a while back on my brazil based Pro account which expired Aug 1st and I still have same full access to absolutely everything and not billed as of tonight which hopefully never ends

tgdaly · 05-08-2021 8:42pm

Hi, is anyone on here doing subscription shares? I know people do it for Spotify (family accounts or whatever its called), would love to get it but don't know if I could afford the 160.

How many devices can you stream at once?

markc91 · 05-08-2021 11:20pm

What Vpn are people using? I tried with surfshark but prices arent changing whether im in brazil, india or greece?

I think they extended it a bit last year on account of Covid and the uncertainty around the season, maybe they’re doing something similar again. Doubtful you’ll still have free access week 1 unless you’re lucky and it’s some sort of error they don’t pick up.

Given that I am in Brazil the price doesn’t really bother me too much but great to get a freebie all the same

Ohmeha · 07-08-2021 9:37am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117718148#Comment_117718148

I do remember I had an issue with signing up last year where it turned out the first week was a free trial and when I turned off auto renew it ended up cancelling my subscription that I fully paid for, got it sorted out in the end. I'll wait and see I'm definitely not counting on full free access lasting

I'm the same, had turned off auto-renew with a plan to renew via Brazil, saving about 30 quid from wherever I was when I renewed last year. I still have access to everything.

That’s what’ll hold me back from it, the availability of the service is shocking bad for such a mammoth of an organisation.

HerrKapitan · 07-08-2021 7:27pm

I got embarrassed at Aldi when my card rejected at the till. Auto renew caught me out bad. I was going planning on renewing anyway, hopefully a big push this year for the Titans.

Benimar · 09-08-2021 9:02pm

Lads, excuse my ignorance but can someone answer what’s probably a stupid question.

if I was to purchase a subscription while in Rio, would I need to return there to watch every week, or will it work once I’ve ‘flown home’?

davetherave · 09-08-2021 9:05pm

The free version now includes all pre season games and NFL Network 24/7 as well as short regular season highlights and other bits and pieces. What you don't get though is full reg season games, playoffs, SB, Red Zone, extended highlights (game in 40), coaches film or NFL original shows.

Itssoeasy · 12-08-2021 6:18pm

According to the NFL UK Twitter account the first episode of hard knocks is up for this year which is the Dallas cowboys. Oh so unlike other years the over the top hype train will be televised.

The_Honeybadger · 12-08-2021 7:56pm

Didn’t watch hard knocks last year might give it a try again Jerry Jones and the Cowboys would probably be a bit more open than some of the other teams I’d imagine.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117744402#Comment_117744402

It can be hit or miss depending on the team.

I like the Amazon All or Nothing series as well.

while I understand why they used the two teams in the same city, it wasn’t that interesting. Yeah the all or nothing series is great. Amazon’s sports series are good all around. They cover several sports. The one about the Australian cricket team is really good.
