I'm sure this has been covered before, but will this work like ESPN3 where you can watch games online even when they are on normal TV? I caught a lot of games on ESPN3 on Mondays at work. I was wondering if I would still be able to do that this year.

From what i understand, yes. I read that you need flash, but there's an nbc sports app for iOS devices. I have not downloaded the app yet so no feedback for you.

I just looked at it on my iphone..

401 reviews with an average rating of 1.4 out of 5.






I think you can view the games without the app on nbcsports.com... guess that will be the way to go (except the flash issue for iOS). I have an app to work around that though... You wont have that prob.

I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that it wasn't until last week that Cox, DirecTV, etc. could use it.

All were complaining about crashes and freezes basically. Hopefully they fricking fix it quick.

Been using the app on my iPad with my Cox account. Haven't had any problems. Been switching between games with minimal downtime between.

I've been using that app for a year now. On Android devices it always crashes. its an awful experience and they never update it. I was hopeful today would prompt them to update it. no such luck.

(Yeah yeah whatever iOS users)

Can you watch replays with Live extra or is it live games only?

There's a replay option but nothing under it currently.

I'm having issues. I have NBC Sports through Cox, but I logged in through the app and it says it doesn't support it. This is BS.

I hope its just the crappy wifi I'm on right now or something. I need this.

If they show replays that would make the 3 DVR's in the house happy.

Just woke up and discovered I'll only get a handful of EPL matches this season unless I upgrade my cable service.

For Direct TV in my area, NBC Sports Live and Extra are not included in the regular Sports Package that has BeIN, FSC etc.

I wish there were still FSC showing the better EPL matches as I'm not sure I'll pay more for the 3rd straight summer to add only 1 or 2 channels.

I'm already paying for the Sports Package + Spnaish Package.

I don't know what the game is, I just know that Roma posted a lineup and I didn't see Bradley in it.

Ok it's working now. I guess there's just going to be a lot of bugs on the first day.

They need to have a replay option so I can watch some of the other games later. Being in the Pacific Time Zone makes watching live almost impossible.

What is the name of the phone app? Is it free? Do I need some sort of cable or internet provider?

Is there a computer website to watch games as well? Same questions above about cost and providers. Thanks
