This may be old news (if it is GFY for not sharing!) but if you have Apple TV, you can watch NFLGamePass through it.
Direct HD to your TV, no laptop, no hook ups and shit.
There's an nfl icon on the Apple TV home page, click on it, then click on the NFLGamePass banner and follow the instructions.
Voilà!

I use a laptop and hook it up with HDMI at the moment. Don't have a clue what the fuck Apple TV is but I will look into it. |

Apple TV is this device  Connect it to your wifi and TV and it's a sort of Netflix where you can buy/rent movies, tv shows..etc from the iStore. On the home page they have "apps" and one of the is NFL. |

Have you watched a game through it yet? Always use my laptop because it's crystal clear HD.
If the quality is just as good I'm all in on this, no laptop sat on the floor or fuckin HDMI cable and power socket runnin everywhere.
So the gamepass app is stored on it? Sometimes you can get freezing and shit on a laptop depending on what spyware you're using etc.
Thanks for postin.

I remember reading that Apple and the NFL were in talks to integrate the GamePass to the app.
I’ve also been watching through laptops and hookups to tv with various results. Sometime freezes..etc.
I haven’t yet watched an entire game because I discovered it last night but checked the Colts game and no problem. I’ve watched tons of movies through the apple tv, and if it’s the same quality it’s the Promise Land my friend.

The colts game was on Sky TV here, Sky are now carrying all Thursday night and Monday night football, plus 3 live games on Sunday, so I only use gamepass when the Jets are not on TV like this Sunday. I have 120mb internet so never really get freezing or any issues, main issues I've had is when gamepass goes down. This will be the future, fuck laptops and computers. |

I’ll give a go this weekend. My biggest concern will be the timeshift. For 1PM games I’m never online cuz dinner/kids..etc. So I’ll generally logon when the games almost 2 hours in and start from the beginning. I noticed on the ipad through the app, you go live directly and can’t go back to kickoff.

I hook up an old smartphone with a mini-HDMI to my TV. Works perfectly, Gamepass picture is great.
Have tried "throwing" image from Gamepass on my current phone to the Smart TV, but I find that more liable to snagging or loss of picture quality.

How much does this gamepass cost?
Just found out for myself. $99 for the whole season. You get live play by play audio, and can watch the game itself the next day.

It also includes the draft, NFL network, absolutely everything. I think it's great value. That said, there's now 5 games a week on TV here so I just use it for Jet games. |

Initially GamePass was for fans abroad. Americans couldn't have access because of network contracts..etc. I'm sure now they've found a way around it for out of state fans. |

Initially GamePass was for fans abroad. Americans couldn't have access because of network contracts..etc. I'm sure now they've found a way around it for out of state fans. GamePass is very different for people that live in the US. The main difference is that you cannot use it to watch live games, only archived games which are available the day after the game has been played. Also, you cannot watch games while Monday Night Football or Thursday Night Football are being broadcast. The Monday Night game has a blackout period during which it is unavailable for viewing, something like 24-48 hours (ESPN probably has the exclusive rights for some period of time).\ If you're in the US and want all the bells and whistles of International GamePass, you'll need to use a VPN to make it appear that you're in another country. This is the 2nd year that I've used a UK VPN to be able to watch games live. I think it's completely worth it to be able to stream games in HD on my "55 TV as opposed to watching some crappy stream that keeps stuttering on my laptop. |
