    Anyone else subscribe to Game Pass? I dumped DTV and Sunday Ticket last year after 12 or so seasons and used Game Pass which was only $99.99 for the season plus access to 10+ year old archives of every past game. Most games would replay fully (some with commercials and others without) within 20-30 minutes after the actual game ending including National Broadcast games. This really wasn't much different in how I viewed live games on DTV when I would DVR "hold" quite often and wouldn't finish the games until well after their real ending time.

    This year they advertised "Watch All Pre-season Games Live". But when I go into the schedule for tonight's games, it says Pgh/Philly will be available to out of market viewers 2-4 hours after game ends. Anyone else have a different understanding of this policy? I'm sure hoping the 2-4 hours delay won't apply to regular season games - that would suck big time.

    OK - back to what you were all complaining about earlier. :thumbs up:

    I still Have DirecTV Sunday Ticket . Which I believe will be it's last Year. So I only get it on the replay on NFL network right after the Washington New England game. Which sucks.

    I live in Philly market area so I'll be at game tonight but generally speaking I see most Steeler games. I'm a Comcast customer.

    Im sure it’s different in the States but on the international Game Pass games get blacked out if Sky Sports are showing them. Is it something like that going on?

    Wait so you only watch the preseaosn game lives? What about regular season?

    I hope they don't mess with the online radio situation. I was at least able to listen to Steleers Games on the Steelers website if they weren't on TV. If I lose that service I will be screwed.

    They advertised "All Pre-Season Games Live" but even that's not true apparently. During regular season I have to wait until 20-30 minutes after game(s) end and then watch a full replay. At $100, it's better than the Sunday Ticket fee on top of DTV's regular package fees which I didn't really use much.

    I had it last year and yes, the regular season games are all available to stream but like you said, you have to wait 30mins after the game is over. I didn't have it for preseason though. I know NFL network replays ALL preseason games at some point throughout the week for free, but I don't have that network on my cable subscription so I'm hosed this year.

    Watching on DoFu has been a chore tonight. Plenty of streams been taken down... I ain't spending $99 for that package.

    I have the NFL app through Verizon and they were offering the game pass on a 7 day trial so once I clicked yes and they verified my credit card info I just had to go the scores tab and hit watch game on the Steelers Eagles now I can dump it later over the weekend.

    I use gamepass as it’s the only way to watch all games in Europe. Great service here but obviously it different in the US

    I got Sunday Ticket free again this year. Think I've only paid one in maybe 12 years.

    As for using Game Pass for the preseason.....Look into a VPN and sign up for free when you are "overseas"

    Do you get blacked out games in Ireland? For a while, whoever was buying the games for Sky seemed to be a Steelers fan so I'd always have to be waiting a day before I could catch the game on GamePass.

    It's a great service though, and has come one leaps and bounds since it first started.

    No blackouts for the past few years which is great.
