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.

Avoiding the score until the game is posted would be the biggest drawback. Commercial free is nice.

Interesting. I may give this a shot, I am out of market for my Chiefs, and was looking for a cheap way to see the games. Thanks for posting, I'm gonna check into this. Give us an update on picture quality and such once you start watching games if you can. Thanks!

Actually, I checked it out a little bit already and watched a couple of minutes of last year's opening day game against the Patriots.

Looks slick so far. The video quality is very good. They advertise that it's HD and I'd say it's at least pretty close to HD if not HD. That's here at work also and I know my Internet speeds at home are much better.

The big thing for me is going to be how long it takes the games to show up on the site...

Nevermind, they have a demo on the site. Nice picture quality on full screen mode. I am getting this today or tomorrow, this will work nicely.

Awesome. I'm hoping this is the NFL's way of putting dipping their toe into the water of streaming live games online, like MLB does.

I wouldn't be surprised if their deal with DirecTV prohibits them from doing that though.

Yea, i dont get why they dont stream live yet?? Seems they are leaving a TON of money on the table by not doing it?

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

Where is this demo? Has anyone watched the Chiefs game yet? Is this worth the $40

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.

It won't unless you install a different OS. Only supports windows and Mac I believe.
