NFL Game Rewind

[Lotus]

I have had that service, although without the new all-22 feature. If you can't do Sunday Ticket, it is the next best thing. A pro is that you can watch the game, even repeatedly, any time you wish after late Sunday. The picture quality is not great but it is not bad either. The con is that the game is not live (of course) and waiting until the Sunday night game ends to watch can be problematic for early Monday morning work.

one advantage to the west coast, washington's midnight is my 9pm. the commercial-free games should trim a lot of the fat off the overall time.

i read about the quality a lot in reviews, it seems to be an issue. what kind of internet connection did you have while watching these games? i only have the 512 kbps-1 mbps verizon connection, i'm scared that it may not be enough.

Yeah, that speed may be a problem. I had 9 Mbps download speeds through cable and watched on a computer with an HD card and an i3 processor. I considered the quality acceptable - sometimes great, sometimes blurry. With 1 Mbps you'll be struggling. Maybe it still may be watchable.

NFL.com offers a preseason package which I use since I am out-of-area. It works basically the same way, with the same software, as Game Rewind. You could use it as a cheaper test-run.

great minds think alike, it's $20 and refundable (same as game pass, within 7 days). i'll give it a whirl.

i mean i stream movies and shows from verizon online and have no problems w quality or buffering, i'm going to be optimistic about it. thanks for your feedback, lotus, much appreciated
