That's what I was thinking. All of my billing addresses are in the US, though.

I don't know I haven't tried, but I think it's odd that NBC and ESPN would allow free streaming while Fox and CBS wouldn't.

Download the Hola Better Internet extension on google Chrome. It lets you pick a country you want to appear in, go to the NFL game pass page, change countries until you find the cheapest subscription (it changes by country, it was free in the Netherlands and New Zealand last year ) then make a payment and that's it.
I paid 69.99 for the whole season including the playoffs, that's a steal.

It's not "free," you have to have an eligible cable service provider. And that's only 2 games.

It doesn't matter that your billing address is in the US?

Nope.

And they can't really put that restriction because mostly Americans overseas are the ones buying it....and most have a US billing address

We're talking about the NFL, here. They've blocked the "mirror" option for Game Rewind on AppleTV and iPad. I wouldn't put blocking the service due to billing address past them.

Get Sunday Ticket. I can also stream the games on my computer and phone if I want because they threw in Sunday Ticket Max.

Sunday Ticket has very limited availability if you don't already have DirecTV.

Yessir. You will see what you get once you go to the page, they have some extra features as well. Red zone, I believe.

Sorry, I haven't kept up with this page and I know i'm asking something probably already covered, but someone has confirmed and done this and it worked, correct?

How did I never think of using Hola like that?

I just used it to get different Netflix selections :(

I did it last night. Spent the whole night researching and watched the end of the Falcons game.

This sounds awesome!

More questions:

- Which country did you choose?
- Is this for live games? I assume so since you said you were watching the Falcons
- Do you also get access to the Game Rewind stuff?

Is this just for replays? What about live?

All I'm seeing once I changed to New Zealand ( ) is the Audio Pass and Game Rewind.
