Ohiostyle Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) FWIW.. last season I used an online service called AD-Free time (AFT). I used it because it sends my DNS traffic through specific servers that mocked my location elsewhere than Cleveland, and therefor allowed me to sign up for MLB.tv and stream my local Indians (cut the cord several years ago), something I couldn't do locally. Long story short, when I went to sign up for gamepass it somehow believed I was foreign, and also allowed LIVE streaming of all games, NOT delayed. it appears in foreign markets, gamepass serves as sunday ticket. It cost $99 and I streamed all games, all season. AFT costs $1.99/mo and also blocks ads from your browser at a universal level, no browser extensions needed. Really worth it. I haven't signed up for GP this year, so I can't say it still works, or would have ever worked for anyone else, but worth a try. Once you've signed up for AFT, go to the gamepass sign up screen and see if refers to LIVE streaming of games, if so, i believe it will think you're foreign and should work. If you don't see live as an option and it wouldn't be working. At worst you've lost one month of Ad free fee's ($1.99). BTW AFT bills via paypal, so you aren't handing over CC info to them.

I tried to do streaming, only to be told I couldnt. I was going to do gamepass anyway, because the tolls alone to go to the bar each week would be close to breaking even. I think I'll give this a look. I have no issue with paying the NFL to watch their content. I'm just annoyed that they insist on restrictions that prevent people from access.

Just for fun I just checked the gamepass website while I still have AFT active (still streaming the Indians (Go Tribe!!!)), and it showing LIVE games as the option, but this year it shows a price of $200 (Boo!).

TheBilz Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Tried to get me a deal yesterday. No such luck. Could not even get through to Customer Retention to plead a case. It was a deaf ear for me. No "relief" or promos this time. They didn't take my threat to leave serious as I have an obligation through next July/August. But they sure wanted to add on more "stuff" to my account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohiostyle Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 For some reason, I'm able to live stream without any additional items. Don't know why, but I'm not asking. Best not to ask questions. Last year I went to sign up for it because that's where they moved the pre-season package, I figured I'd cancel after PS. Week 1 sure enough, I was able to stream all the games. The worst part is last year I had two people sign up for DTV and would have had access to their streams. This year gamepass isn't in the budget, and no DTV subcribers to be found...

Huh, weird. Using it through normal channels I see the standard $100 for Game Pass. Maybe it's one of those things (like with Netflix) that when you open it up outside of the US they direct you to where there are more options.

Yeah, I think the $100 option is just the US version where you get delayed games, and other features, since it believes I'm foreign, i get the full-featured option for $200. Like i said, I'm not sure how or why its working, but it is. They have an option there for me where it can do 4 payments of $59.99 for a total of $236.99, I might be able to swing that. the bad part is that cancelled the auto-renewal in Aug that would have been $124 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in PA, and can get the live streams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, as far as i can tell that defies all the rules as I know them. Gamespass domestically operates differently, and ST is LIVE streaming option.

Ohiostyle Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 To be clear, I'm not signed up for gamepass, but nflsundayticket.tv. Ah, that makes more sense. If you live somewhere that you can't get DTV, for landscape, or apartment reasons then they'll sell you ST without DTV. One advantage to GP is that it includes playoffs and the SB, and ST doesn't. In summation: for approx $224 (1 x $199, and 6 x $1.99) and a very small bit of technical know-how, ANYONE can stream all NFL games. The legality is a bit dubious, but it's not like you aren't paying the same thing a ST subscriber would, just without the DTV that many people don't want or need. Hope this helps anyone on the fence.

vincec Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Thanks, i think that explains it better than I can. This is harder than you think. The NFL blocks access from a lot of these virtual networks, and all the free ones that I know about, so finding one that will work is tricky and will certainly cost you something. And then you run the risk of it being blocked at any time and you being out of luck and back to square one. Plus, $200 for the game pass overseas with live events is the same price as Direct TV streaming here in the US. So if you're going to lie and say that you live overseas why not lie and say you live in an apartment to get the more reliable system?

Because there are a busload of qualifiers on top of cement. You have to be a college student or living in an apartment complex or in a metropolitan area being important enough. Otherwise you don't qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise you don't qualify. Like I said, it worked for me all last season, and it appears that it would work at least initially this year. They may block it at some point (doubtful), but I just say I signed up for the service to block ad's which is it's purpose, and gamepass was offered with live games so I used them. It's not as if I used the service to gain GP, it was a byproduct of it. How to Geek which was linked to earlier in the thread, is a very reputable website which gave instructions for this very thing. This is akin to people who use browser add-ons to make netflix think they're overseas and therefor gain access to UK version of netflix, and the tons extra content that goes along with it, or how about netflix, amazon prime, or HBOGo password sharing. It's publicly frowned upon, but what are companies alternatives, refuse the money? They've turned a blind eye to it time and time again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
