judman Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Does anyone know if the pre season games are televised? All I see on the BB website is the option to either buy tix or buy the "Pre Season Live" package to stream games on the computer. Even last year I was able to watch the pre season games on a BB broadcast with Steve Tasker on the mic and Mike Catalana doing some sideline work. Are those days gone?

uncle flap Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 They're all on the NFL Network, but not necessarily aired live. IIRC, last year you could find them live online via streaming sites of questionable legality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biglukes Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 If you're talking specifically about Bills games, they are televised live locally if the games are sold out. If they get blacked out, the game is shown the next night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweatpantsjoe Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Yeah the NFL blackout policy is in effect for pre-season games as well, however they are shown locally on tape delay. I think WBBZ is going to carry the telecasts this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that in the recent past that they would often have one team's announcing crew for the first half and the other team's crew for the second half. Or am I dreaming this?

Or am I dreaming this? You're right, that's what they usually do. I may be wrong, but for some reason I thought I remembered that last preseason for the Bills at least we seemed to get stuck at least once or twice with the entire game of the opposing teams local broadcast. Preseason local announcers are heavily biased, and I just prefer to hear the bias in our favor In any event, I found the answer to my question, for those interested. From the Support website: Can I choose which team's local broadcast I want to watch in NFL Preseason Live during NFL Preseason games? A: No, there is only scheduled to be one feed available for each NFL Preseason broadcast within NFL Preseason Live. I've purchased this the last two years.

I keep seeing that game rewind should have an app coming too. I'll buy it when that happens, but I'm never in front of, nor really want to be in front of a computer except at work, but always have my iPhone on me.

Wayne Cubed Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 If you are outside the US, which I currently am, when you buy NFL Game Pass, you get streams of all the preseason and regular season games. Its not a terrible deal at all. They have 3 packages, the cheapest being the one where you pick 1 team and you'll only get their games. You also get NFL Network with the all the packages. I opted for the most expensive package, as you get NFL rewind and RedZone, plus unlimited access to the NFL coaches film. They also have iPad and iPhone apps. If you outside the US, it's honestly the way to go, instead of looking for illegal streams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biglukes Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Correct. They're advertising it as a "tablet" application, for iPad and "selected" Android tablets. I don't know a lot about the way these things work, but wouldn't the operation system for the iPhone and iPad be very similar outside of the phone features? I didn't realize that there was enough of a difference that an app that works on one could be incompatable on the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) Correct. They're advertising it as a "tablet" application, for iPad and "selected" Android tablets. well, i just bought both the preseason and Game Rewind..they better have that damn App out in the next week. So for my viewing pleasure I now have: Sunday Ticket Max Preseason Games Game Rewind with Coaches Film Any wonder why the NFL is the raking in the cake and why even the Bills are worth a $1Biliion. LOL..if my old man were alive he'd be smaking me upside the head...waste of good money he would say!!. Least the ticket and the max thing was comped.
