Watching the game on Prime
 

How does this work? If you get home at 9:00 pm can you watch from the start? Can you dvr the game? Only live streaming?

Will let you know Friday.

Probably blacked out in your area. Will be able to watch 90 minutes after the end of the game, just like MLB.

As a Prime Member, you will also be able to record the entire season of TNF and play, pause and rewind with ease.

There are no specific instructions on how to do so in the link but it's evidently doable.

Amazon isn't stupid, like say Ballys sports. You will have all the options available that your little heart desires.

Yep, I went to Prime Video through Amazon.com, or wherever you watch Prime... and there was a Sports section, click on this week's game, and there's a button to record.

I assume you can start from the beginning and wouldn't have to wait until it's over, but if there's one league that would do something so stupid, it's probably the NFL.

I'd assume it works like YouTube TV or Hulu where you can start immediately and the games are available to stream later and you can pause and rewind live games. That's like the minimum functionality for streaming TV

I'm still worried about whether you will be able to start from the beginning of a time delayed recording without getting a live spoiler.

Don't trust Amazon on this, yet.

You should. They are one of the most successful companies on the planet.

They have simulcast NFL in the past. Not like this is their first time.

I’m hoping I’ll be able to watch on the app from my phone (I’ll be at cheer and baseball practice). I suspect that I will be able to, but I’ve also hit the record button in case I cant.

The game should be available at the same time it starts on broadcast TV

You will be. I had a notification on my phone this morning about it.

but the whole game will be available, so don't fast forward to the end and spoil it for the rest of us...

Well, I don't usually start my games live. I usually start about 90 minutes delayed on YouTube TV and skip all the commercials. Hence I need to know whether I can start at the beginning without spoilers or not.

I guess this plan is also dependent on Amazon allowing the video to be FF through commercials in a reasonable manner. Trying to skip commercials by dragging a slider bar and not dragging it too far is a pain.

One year, when I went to the Amazon page, TNF was already playing live up in the corner before I did anything at all. But, admittedly, they didn't have a record option that year.
