This is what I have been waiting for. Now we can watch all our Sunday ticket games even when we are dragged away from home on a Sunday....

can someone clarify if you have to allrdy be a direct TV suscriber...or can i buy this seperate. The Armed Forces Network has a great deal witht he NFL to show about 3 games at a time, but this sounds sweet.

Integrity?

you know as well as I that there are people out there that steal cable and stuff so I thought it was a valid question...there are streaming sites out there that you can watch games on, not sure how they are legal but they seem to be...otherwise I would suspect they would have been shut down by now.

Tried to get on and never had any luck.Overwhelming demand.Did anyone get to use it?

Did anyone use this this past week-end. I was going to send my brother who has the Ticket the $100 for the Superfan upgrade and then he'd let me use the link. Before I shell out the bucks, I was curious if there were buffering/crashing problems. It is a smooth wathc it seems like a no brainer for me. Thanks.

I used it this past weekend and it worked fine. Was over a wireless connection as well and no problems.

I used it last weekend at work on my iPhone. Was a bit laggy, would drop sporadically and the resolution was fairly bad. Overall I was pretty disappointed. I will try it again this weekend on my home pc and see if connection speed (broadband VS 3G) and device (pc VS iPhone) make a difference.

 

Were you in a good cell area when you tried it? I tried it on the iphone this past weekend and it worked great. Crystal clear picture and I never lost the signal. I noticed it was about 30 seconds behind my home TV, but I got in my car to go pickup dinner and drove about 5 miles in each direction and never lost the game while on the 3G network.

 

I use it regularly on my laptop over a wireless network to get a 6th game (have 5 TVs in my living room) and it works great. I was trying it out on the iphone because there are a few weekends this year that I am not going to be home on Sunday and wanted to see how it worked and I was shocked at how good it was on the 3G network, I thought you'd have to connect the iphone to a wireless network to get a steady picture, but i didn't need to.

Yes, I did. I used my friends log in info. He gave it to me of course. I hooked my computer up to my 52" tv via HDMI and used a optical audio for sound.

It worked good, but the video quality wasn't that great. It was a little pixeled and sometimes ran a lil slow. when you put it in full screen mode the video does not fill up the whole screen.

All said and done, it was better than watching just the Jets and Giants play ( I live in NY).

And while i did not have to give him the $100, I would give it to him if he asked. It is worth it.

I had Supercast on my PC while I had the Jets/Texans on the TV. It worked fine.

 

Obviously, its a PC quality picture so you need to accept that, but the odd thing is that the feed from the Supercast on my PC was a few seconds AHEAD of that of my TV. So when the Supercast RedZone channel went to the Jets game they were ahead of my TV broadcast! I had to hit to minimize whenever RZ went to the Jets game or it be very distracting.

Our kids had lacrosse games last week and we were able to watch on our iphone. It was a great feed, nice and smooth. The only issue we had is that you can only log in one device at a time so we could not each log in to our own game. It worked great on the iphone and another parent was watching on his Blackberry and that seemed to work well also.

I am a Sunday Ticket/Superfan subscriber...

 

Supercast works FLAWLESSLY 100% of the times for me... No buffering or lagging WHATSOEVER. If you have a solid broadband connection you are golden.

 

I paid $100 to add SuperFan to my father's NFL Sunday Ticket subscription and I watched the games yesterday using Supercast. The Supercast service is not worth $100. You can read my full review here to learn the truth about Supercast.

Directv should be embarrassed for selling something this sub-standard. They need to fix it immediately.
