I PAID XS Sports so I could watch the Bills play on my computer. In the past this has been a pretty good feed. Tonight I tried to tune into the game, and got ****ing NASCAR.

I want my ****ing money back.

It sounds like they were feeding of WKBW-tv in Buffalo and because the game was blacked out they're showing Nascar instead.

Yeah Mad- the guy goes out on a limb to show stuff- but if he casn't get the feed in Toronto then you're screwed.

Watch this instead- XS should work during the regular season

I hadn't used them before last week but the Denver game went fine. Seems like he just got screwed this week due to the local channel, the game being blacked out and the fact that it's a preseason game. From everything I gathered from folks on here before I purchased a subscription, he's been very reliable the last 2 years.

Brad...I agree that he has been very reliable, but when I pay for something, I expect to get something in return.

I paid the $6 and was a little disappointed, but believing that he has a reputable site I'll give it another chance, The feed looks much clearer , even though Firstrow had a pretty good feed last night. I may shoot him a email just to let him know that I was disappointed, but I'm not going to rip into him. Who knows maybe he'll give a free month.

The game was blacked out on the only regional channel XS had available.


XS provides a much better stream then most freebies and one that has proven reliable over the long haul. Once the regular season starts XS will have access and be able to broadcast all Bills games.

I paid $20 to NFL preseason live for the whole preseaosn... $20 for all Preseason games ... that was a good deal IMO.. and you can pause and go back at any time like Tivo

Next year I will pony up again.. it worked real well

during season lots of streams buffer and get shut down. preseason has less traffic Yeah? so what happens during a blackout? XS has you watch NASCAR? :laughing: What exactly is the point of paying for a high quality stream if your missing out on a game because it's blacked out in the streamers location?

Those who struggle to find a streamed game just don't know where to, or how to look for them. Sorry if I don't have that problem, but I just don't. I watched every single Bills game streamed last year without a hitch. Never once did I make a visit to XS. I simply did not have to. This year will be no different. Streaming live games is not a new phenomenon. It's also not as difficult to do as it use to be. Lack of quality just isn't as big of an issue anymore. I'd much rather donate money to a free stream, than to pay for a stream that isn't working because of a blackout. Just being realistic about it.

Itwont happen during the reg season he has Sunday ticket and so the game will be streamed even if it's blacked out. Preseason isn't in Sunday ticket and he said it still said the game was on his guide in his Rogers communications cable in Canada

NFL Sunday Ticket is the way to go. I pay $180 over 6 months and get every game on my big screen in HD for roughly $10 a Sunday. I've watched every preseason stream for free on a number of different sites. All I did was google the game and clicked on links until one worked.

It would be the way to go if it were available as a cable package since most people have cable and not DirecTV satellite.

Yet another way our beloved NFL gets richer at most of our expense. Btw I had DTV and the SUnday Ticket for years prior to moving. And chose not to get the dish again because it doesn't come close to FIoS on all counts other than it's ST availability.

I haven't missed any games lately, as T-Long said, they're not hard to find, but for the $6 I think I'll try XS again in hopes of getting a clear feed with no buffering problems, even after yesterdays mishap.
I keep cable over the dish because of the SABRES games, now if Direct TV starts to get the SABRES games I would switch. The price for TW Cable is outrageous.

You have a PS3? If so DTV will sell you the ticket (no dish needed) for $340 US.

I have an XBOX and can't get myself to spend the 3 hunj for the PS3 just to then have the privilege of spending $340 more to get the ticket.

What channel are Sabres games on? Direct TV offers all local channels, regional sports channels & VS for free & they also have center ice.

VS is the channel that I thought Direct TV didn't carry and happened to have 96% of the SABRES games on last season. I know that they were trying to work something out. If they did that would be great news for me and thousands of SABRES fans.


My bad I was thinking MSG.

Haha that "inferior console" **** talk I leave to the fanbois, of which I'm not. I had to get the XBOX because I wanted Gears of War and I liked the feel of the controller better.

Unfortunately i played God of War III a couple of months ago on a friends console and it may force me to eventually spend more money on yet another console. That game is sick.

Finding available feeds for free is not that hard to do, been doing it for awhile now,but the feed XS provides is better then 99% of them in my opinion. Some folks have been using his services for years now with excellent results.

XS just gave me an extra month on my contract without even asking, to me that's good business coming from a fella that's trying to do right by people.

Thanks XS, I know you are more upset then anyone,

DTV carries both VS & MSG. If you are in the MSG region, you will get it for free on Direct TV. I get the Lightning on Sunshine Channel down here in SW Fla.

There is no set list, it can change week to week. I use google advanced search and coding to find them. You can't just type in for example, "Bills game". It would take you days to find something useful. Instead, you would have better luck typing in something like " bills, p2p, buffalo, games, nfl, streams etc.." the more commands you give to your search engine, the more likely you are to find what you are actually searching for. It's just a small example of how I find them. Hope that helps.

Home games that do not sell out are blacked out in the local market on the ticket. The Bucs were blacked out all last year when at home. Lucky for me I can get Ft Myers channels OTA so I was able to watch all the Bucs games.

If he is in Toronto, the games are most likely not blacked out on the ticket for him.

last week he had to stream from his NFL.com he learned from the previous week, so quality went down a little because he wasn't using his tuner

should be good to go for the rest of the season even blackouts :air:
