When you live outside of North America (and aren't in the US Armed Forces), this is pretty much your only option.

True, i'm not condemning those who will purchase it but it just seems a little steep.

I won't buy the pass, but I WILL keep the weekly $25 option open if I really want to watch a game.

Included in the price-tag are all the weeks games, and apparently after they have concluded, you can start the re-broadcast anytime you want (for any game) during the 24 hours following the game.

So it does seem to give you the option to watch A LOT of football if you want to on Monday.

Dola,

When I ran the demo, the video quality was poor (on full screen) and the signal cut out twice. So it's definately not as good as TV.

I thought the NFL Network was going to replay every game during the week 30 minutes at a time. Each game will be completely replayed in 30 minutes.

The price is crazy. Three weeks of NFL Game Pass costs around the same as a season of MLB.tv

I paid my $12 US dollars for a 3 month package.


Not HDTV, but I did enjoy actually watching all the preseason games live.

I just sent you a PM. Sadly is almost the only way for us Europeans to watch most of the USA sports, specially college that has zero coverage in European TV. Of course quallity is not so great, we are talking about internet streams.

I just tried with two windows and yes, but you need a fast line or the images will be choppy. The limit is in your conection.

I'm not sure I completely understand why so many people seem to think NFL Sunday Ticket is such a great deal but this isn't. Aren't the prices comparable? Pus Most of us get 4-6 NFL games a week live anyway on local television. For people who essentially get no live NFL games, this seems like a great deal.

This is a terrible deal compared to Sunday Ticket IMO because the quality is nowhere near the game.

The ratio of NFL TV $/NFL Online $ is like 1.2 or something. MLB TV $/MLB Online $ is like 2 or 3.

Looks like the NFL thing is only available outside the US. Can you view StreamTV in the US?

(I assume even the NFL stuff is watchable within the US with European proxy server)

So, NFL Game Pass actually shows you the games after you pay for the service? No wonder it's so expensive! (dig at the $3 a month route which is just another lesson in 'you get what you pay for'.)

The "other site board" is not working but the game streams are, i can pm you some chanels if you want them. I'm right now watching the dolphins-titans and the panthers-tampa games. I have the streams url's saved in case of the board going down like today.

does this "alternative" site allow you to download the games? I would purchase the nfl.com dealie, but the internet connections are so bad in Thailand that streaming video is not a viable option. I need to be able to download the game (slooooowly) and then watch it at my leisure.

I tried to subscribe to streamtv last week, but they're not taking any new accounts. If anyone knows any alternatives that provide that service I'd appreciate a PM.
