Avid Game Pass user here . I got the app on Amazon’s Fire TV. I love it! Really works well on my Samsung UHD 4k. I have a digital antenna and fairly fast internet but no cable and no dish. Also have Sunday Ticket’s streaming service but they won’t let you do that if you can have dish. Game Pass on the Fire tv is way better than on my pc.(Ancient pc newer tv) . You can also cast from your phone to Tv.
Is that a subscription? What’s it cost to set this up? Are the games Live, or released later?
I seem to recall having Game Pass long, long ago, and watching the games on Monday. But I don’t have to settle for that now, so I don’t do it.
I would pay to watch the games if it was a “reasonable” amount, but I’m not paying whatever it is to have a dish – $60/month or ? – and then another fee on top of that for Ticket when I don’t watch TV much apart from football.
Zooey,
From what I understand, Game Pass is $75 total, and the games are viewable right after they end in real time. So it’s same day . . . You don’t have to wait until Monday.

I’ve had Directv for a long time, and consistently managed to get the Sunday Ticket for free — until this year. Normally, it’s more than $300. I’d even get discounts on the rest of the TV package. Don’t know if you saw it, but the Herd used to have an hysterical yearly thread . . . usually led by James JM, detailing how he could never get those freebies, while other posters talked about Directv giving them new cars, houses, vacations, along with the Sunday Ticket.

Anyway, since AT&T took over, it’s been tougher. But I did get it for free last season, plus a $50 discount overall. The best offer this season was two months of credit for the Ticket only, and my other discounts expire in December. So I said no. Leave the service on hold (since June now). I’ll probably cancel it before year’s end.
Game Pass seems to be the next best option to watching it “live.”
