STOP DOING HEROIN

Btw I did the sling trial this week and it loving sucks. Don't do sling. Unless you love constant buffering and stream drops.

I used Sling for over a year and never had any problems watching it on Roku. Good quality, no buffering even after watching it for hours.

I wonder if they just don't allocate enough resources for trial accounts? My internet definitely isn't the issue

Typically I use Gamepass but I had some serious issues with it yesterday. To clarify, my subscription auto-renewed a month ago and I even received a confirmation email of such. However, after I turn on my VPN and log in it shows that my account has no subscription. It then gives me options to purchase a subscription with the respective currency of my VPN (I often go with Norway or Switzerland).

Any advice? This would be s pretty pricey bullet to bite since I've already paid for the auto renew (which I also haven't been able to cancel btw).

Really not worth it for the 2 games I would ever watch on it (based on past performance), but maybe.

Were you using an Xbox one? I did that for a season and the client kept dying like that. Was fine on everything else.

Alright, so I requested an invite and got it. Now I need to find a way to donate 35 dollars in bitcoin to these people, I'm guessing Coinbase is the best, safest way to do that

I've never used BTC. I don't want to give a scan of my ID to coinbase, and deal with a wallet or whatever. Is it possible to have someone else send the required BTC to the address # they gave? If this will work and someone wants to help, I'll send the fee + $10 extra on paypal for your trouble. PM me.

Welcome to the proper way of streaming. It really does make for a much better experience. Much better quality, no ads, no drama.

Sounds like no one else is having this problem.

Have any of you successfully cancelled the Gamepass auto-renewal?

I still just use FirstRow. Just slap uBlock and maybe NoScript on your browser, and always click Link 2, never Link 1.

After a few gamedays, you get really good at figuring out which tiny, hidden X actually closes the ad overlays.

Firstrow is such poo poo! just get aceplayer and go to r/nflstreams. Or don't, just go there and find a better link. Seriously you will never go back to firstrow.

Install SodaPlayer for all your acestream links. It's simple as gently caress and works best.

Best like performance wise? Better than AcePlayer? I do get buffering problems at times in ace, but my internet blows.

Also use the sky sports streams from the UK for acestream.

About a third of the commercials get replaced with a random 2 minute chunk of some random NFL Network special.

I saw that last night, I liked it too. Although at first I thought my stream switched to something else hah

I dont have hard facts and data, AcePlayer just always felt off to me, where Soda Player feels smooth. It also has a built in proxy if you are into that sort of thing.

Yeah this is fantastic. They always seem to pull really good parts of A Football Life to show.

And when they do show commercials, you get to giggle that they call their money: pounds.

Canadians finally have a legit streaming option for Gamepass!
DAZN bought the rights and sells monthly passes for $20 and yearly for $150. Not cheap, but considerably cheaper than what the NFL used to charge, plus it's all games. No blackouts for Thursday/Sunday/Monday nights. I think it has red zone too, plus all the assorted other garbage on NFL network.
Plus they have and are adding other sports, if you enjoy other sports.
They're still kind of flaky though, the PS4 app decided not to work Thursday night so I had to watch on my phone.

I tried the free trial of DAZN yesterday because I couldn't get the Rams game on TV. My experience wasn't as bad as other people have reported, but the quality was pretty poo poo compared to Sunday Ticket on cable and it started doing this weird thing were it would buffer then play the same 15 seconds over three times in a row. I ended up like 3 minutes behind the game chat thread by the end. I honestly think I might just try going with AceStreams for the rest of the season.

I had to play around with which country I signed in from with my VPN. Australia has been working so far but it seemed like most Western European countries would not work for whatever reason. Unrelated, but I got an e-mail from Game Pass Europe a few days ago saying my subscription has expired and I have no idea why or how. Been out of the state for the last week so I haven't been able to test it out, will be very pissed off if it's legit

It's not Amazon, its google, they didn't want to support Amazon on the chromecast so Amazon stopped selling chromecasts. Get a fire stick.
