Anybody use NFL Game Rewind?

Just signed up for this for the upcoming season ($40). You can watch all games in their entirety for the 2009 season (they also have an archive of all the 2008 games) commercial free. Supposedly, the games are posted within 24 hours of being played.

This is going to be my attempt this year to be able to watch all the Chiefs games. Last year was my first year without DirecTV/Sunday Ticket. The cost just became too ridiculous in my mind. The final straw for me was having to pay an extra $100 just to get the games in HD.

I had been looking into getting a SlingBox and sticking it at my parents house, but this may just do the trick as long as I can avoid all scores and highlights.

Living on the West Coast forces me to do this anyways, because I'm in church until 12:30 or 1:00 Pacific Time. All these guys usually come streaming out of church checking scores on their phones force me to hide or just hang out with the non-sports folks. Or I'll just go up to every guy I know would spoil it and tell them not to tell me anything about the game.

Thid is awesome! I watch most of my games on DVD anyway. I can't stand commercials. My new laptop has HDMI output to my bigscreen. This is the future. Thanks for sharing.

Can I stream this over my PS3?

CaliforniaChief · 08-17-2009, 04:33 PM

Hey all, just wanted to post a follow-up from an e-mail I received regarding NFL Game Rewind. I had asked how long it takes for them to post the games online. This is their response. They wrote me back within a day of my post.

"Regular season games will be available through Game Rewind 1-3 hours after the completion of the game. Unfortunately, preseason games are not available on Game Rewind."

I added the boldface. I'm seriously interested now in doing this instead of the Ticket. I am waiting to see if I'm chosen to receive the offer for current DTV subscribers that is 5 months premium channels + the Ticket for $60/month...otherwise I might just do it.

CaliforniaChief · 08-17-2009, 04:51 PM

As a follow-up, I was concerned that when I log in, the scores would show up but I just found out in the help chat room that you can disable scores and go right to the game without knowing the score. Ok I'll stop double-posting now.

**DaFace** · 08-17-2009, 04:56 PM

Damn, that's insanely tempting.

The live streaming sucks balls this year, at least until TV Ants fires up. Homer TV was good, but I think they got shut down.

****in' NFL...

aturnis · 08-17-2009, 05:00 PM

Did you ask them if I could stream it to my TV using my PS3?

CaliforniaChief · 08-17-2009, 05:13 PM

Sorry man, I didn't ask...but if you go to the site and navigate to the live chat desk before 10 Eastern tonight, you can ask them and you'll have your answer in 5 minutes.

They should also offer blacked-out games on pay-per-view.

Bottom left of the page right next to the features. It is hard to see with the color of text they put it in.

Found it, not bad all. I wonder if this will play through the PS3

I signed up last week for Rewind. The quality of last years' games are not real good for me, not nearly as sharp of picture as the demo. Part of that is my DSL connection, got a guy working on that tomorrow but the demo is still sharper than the games by far.
