For years now I've done NFL Gamepass with a VPN streaming through a laptop hooked up to my TV. It lets me:
1) Watch any and all games live, for the Pats and any other team in the league.
2) Watch replays of any and all games, in both broadcast format and in "games in 40'", which is such a godsend. All the waiting and commercials are cut out, it's just the raw action continuously and games finish in about 40 minutes as advertised. Great for watching a game you missed but hear was incredible, or watching past games of future opponents.
3) Watch replays of any and all games in their library, including every game from 2012 onwards.
4) Watch NFL Network, Redzone, NFL Films, a few other things. If I was so inclined.
The best part about it is $0 goes to ESPN or other broadcast partners, and I'm ONLY paying for NFL content, not absurd packages I care nothing about. It's not available in the USA though, which is why I use the VPN, as far as they're aware or care I'm in Germany. Still with my internet connection and the VPN I use it streams reliably in HD so it's a non-issue as far as I'm concerned, though I am always watching it like a minute in the past so sometimes fantasy football alerts or a very timely forum post alert me to something which has yet to happen from my perspective.
Probably the best part is all you need to do something like that is have a computer you can connect to something you find adequate for viewing, and which runs Windows. It's worked well enough for me.
I thought I had heard of people doing something like this.
How much does it cost?
And it doesn't matter that your billing address is in the US?
And do you use a paid VPN service or a free one?
