    Just an FYI - the NFL Gamepass has now been reduced in price to $119, which works out to about ?70.

    My mate got it and the quality is very good and also gives you access to NFL Network TV.

    All in HD.

    Something to think about.

    Before you all go rushing off with quids in hand, check to make sure you can actually watch the games. DO NOT USE their system.
    You need at least 700kbps upload to be able to view it with buffering and choppy vision.
    Use this to see how you do, good idea to try on sunday evening around 6pm which seems to be peak time.

    NOTE: If you don't have the min 700 kbps you will be disappointed.

    700kbps upload? Don't you mean download?

    I've had it all year and the first two games the system crashed and I got refunds. Still a pain when I wanted to see my Jets play live.

    Now it works, but is usually nowhere near HD quality (I have a 2Mbit connection) and keeps fading to near-unwatchable quality. Not a great system at all and not worth the money, but I pay because it's the Jets and it's live. Sometimes.

    Yeah I meant download. They still haven't refunded a bean for me yet and I haven't watched one second of it.

    Really? They strike me as a bunch of amateurish bastards if you ask me. Hope you get your money.

    It's just cruel - for years I dreamed of being able to watch the Jets live every week, now I almost can, but the technology isn't up to the job!

    The streaming on justin.tvv or whatever is just absolutely pitiful - first time I ever tried it I got a decent stream and every time since then its been terrible.

    Atm I just wait for it to appear on rapidshare or something a couple of days later and watch whichever game is on Sky - which this weekend iirc is Jets v Phins!!!!!!!

    Wow, a fair few Brits in here nowadays :)
    Yes, frustration is a word I would use when it comes to coverage here. We could easily see every game love here, but corporate a$$holes say we can't

    I Was hoping they were going to expand the games on the Red button but instead they have dropped it all together!! Bloody Sky.

    I just dont understand with us having so many ESPN channels that they cant take over the Football and give us way more choice.

    Oh and yes! and few Brits here :)

    Yeah I just don't get that either, regression in the recession :smile: No way. With the NFL trying to force feed football via wembley, its obviois that they are trying to plug the market, so whey have they let Sky do this? Sky short of money? Don't think so. So the question remains, why didn't ESPN get the red button games?
    I heard the CEO of ESPN on Talk sport and they were saying how much they DID want the NFL on ESPN over here, so who knows whats happening.

    I hope so, if they really want to expand the NFL then we need decent coverage to start with. So lets hope sky lose it and ESPN have it next season.

    I just spent $80 for the follow your team pass and only found out after I'd paid that the jets vs fins game is blacked out in the UK because Sky have the rights. Not impressed.

    It's shit like that which makes you realize just how much corporate bullshit there is...

    This one has the rights, no this one owns the feed on thurs. but this one via internet but not satellite....

    WTF!

    Fans gotta jump through hoops now just to get a damn game!
    They wanna sell the NFL abroad but can't even get fans interested because of shit like this.
