    I was wondering if anyone had this and if they would recommend it. I have to watch the games at a sports bar and would like to get an audio feed via my Blackberry or laptop (NFL Ticket is not an option for me). It's $30 for the season so I want to make sure it's worth it. Anyone that gets a feed while watching from a bar, please let me know your thoughts, or if there are better alternatives.

    Note: I've tried p2p game feeds as well, but prefer to go to a sports bar - I'm just looking for a good option to getting quality audio feed from there. Also, all the bars in my general area have the sound on for only Panthers and Steelers games, so getting an audio feed is the only option I'm looking at.

    you need a connection speed of at least 700kbps for it to be any good, less than that, don't do it.

    Edit: My bad, thought you meant gamepass. Field Pass is excellent :)

    Great. So would you say accessing this on a Blackberry would be the way to go, or have you only tried on a laptop/PC? I'd rather only bring my Blackberry if it works well on those.

    I had it for 2 seasons and really liked it. I loved the pre-game and post-game interviews and stuff. Once the streams became better quality I didn't renew. The first season I was very cautious when it came time to cancel figuring there'd be some sneaky auto-renew policy. It was easy and quick to cancel...

    I've used it on my cell, and it was near perfect on it, so you should be OK. On PC its as good as it gets :)

    Awesome - I think I'll give it a try. One more question - is the audio feed synched up with the TV/NFL ticket feed? I would think so since it is NFL.com but figured I'd check.

    Thanks

    It wasn't synced when I used it, usually a slight delay.

    Hearing it might be an issue in a noisy sports bar, don't you think?

    yeah you're gonna have to get some noise cancelling headphones which kind of defeats the social part of a sports bar.

    A good ear piece will be fine. I use a Motorola at football matches here and can hear fine
