  1. My experience has been that the preseason live app on iOS devices blocked the video adapters or airplay. I have been able to use airplay to play the preseason games from my Mac to an Apple TV. I may try to connect my laptop directly to the tv for the next game.

     

    I'm directly connected from laptop to TV tonight with HDMI and that has been the best experience for me so far with Preseason Live. Tonight was a trial run and I'll be using that for tomorrows Steelers game.

  2. Strange... it was blocked for me, but good to know!

     

    Edit: Wait, are you streaming direct, or is it mirroring?

     

    What is the distinction? I am using the app on the tablet and when it plays video I select Apple TV from the Airplay icon.

     

    On my Mac I do stream direct and mirror for Preseason Live since that app doesn't support Airplay, if this is what you're asking.

  3.  

     

    I'm not sure if it's the same as the NFL preseason package, but they have a very unusual full screen icon. Took me awhile to figure it out. I'm actually quite embarrassed to admit it.

     

    Don't be, I actually posted a question about how to do it before I figured it out, and was luckily able to delete the post:)

     

    In past seasons the Sunday Ticket app supported AirPlay, so if that holds true it'll be easy to project to the big screen.

  4. Right, but the question is there still a referral discount on top of the DTV offer?

     

    When I used the 1st referral link it brought my price down to $18, then when I entered directv it brought it down to $15. But now I've seen just entering directv brings it down to $15, so I don't think an active referral link plus the promo code gets you any lower price (but I could be wrong). In the absence of new links, if people want to do others a solid by connecting through the link first then entering promo codes, the people who have provided their links will get credit up to 10 times.

     

    Nope mirroring won't work. Tried an app called Airweb, that won't work either.

     

    I think if you have a Mac then you can connect to the website then mirror from your PC.

  5. Anyone else have a promo link? The ones above expired

     

    BTW, the directv promo price is still $15 even without the friend referral

     

    Keep using mine if you want :rolleyes: Since you're getting the $15 price anyway, using the link still gives the referrer credit up to 10 times I guess. Got my eye on a Kiko jersey B-)

  6. how to you obtain these codes. I have NFL presason package, but I have no idea about "codes" that you can save for a jersey, etc? !?!?!?

     

    When you purchase they give you a unique URL refer a friend link (see mine above) :flirt:

     

    Each Referrer code is only valid for five (5) discounts. So once the link has been used 5 times the 10% discount goes away for the buyer, time to find a new referral link, which is why I threw my hat in the ring. After you use the link, if you then clear out the promo code field and enter directv, it brings the total price down to $14.99

  7. Yes, please. Expire mine first!

     

    Well I used one! I believe you get 5 uses per code.

     

    Also, promo codes are stackable, so to make it an even better deal, use the link and click redeem on the code, then type in directv and redeem to get it for $14.99. Not bad, imho.

  8. I noticed this also. It was funny how Collinsworth made it seem like they really put things together on that drive. He never mentioned that their starters were playing against the Bill's second or third string.

     

    Actually he did mention it.

  9. So on the local WENY ("this is home") the sports chick said TPegs and Trumps bids have moved on but "no word on JBJ's." Good lord now even local peeps are feeding the frenzy.

     

    I'm sure this was mentioned somewhere in here, but JBJ not moving on does not mean the Toronto group is out, right? JBJ might drop out, then the Toronto group can bid during the extended window, and they have the money to play with TPegs when you remove the principal ownership constraint they had when JBJ was in the group. Let's not count our chickens yet.

  10. Slingbox + family in Rochester = My "Sunday Ticket." Hopefully they don't get blacked out too often.

     

    Just out of curiosity, does the family ever complain about any hit on their network? Do they have like a spare TV they connect it to so you can control which channel you view? I tried this once with my brother but he started whining about it sucking up his bandwidth.

     

    Ugh... after being a ST subscriber for 6 years, I cut the cord completely this spring (good move except for ST). I was banking on a deal like the madden option last year, but it doesn't seem like that'll happen. Now I'm beginning to panic. Have to find a solution quick. As an out of town Bills fan, I don't have many options. I can pick up a few Erie, PA channels with an antenna, but not their CBS. This stinks.

     

    I did the same thing - am loving saving the $100 hit every month, and find I don't really miss it with free HD OTA. I did however pay for the digital Sunday Ticket since I somehow qualified, so I will be streaming this year and use Airplay to watch on the big screen. That's all I really needed DirecTV for, and now I can get the Sunday Ticket without having to pay their monthly ransom! I'm a little nervous about performance, but when I had ST Max in the past it seemed to work well, I just never really solely relied on it.
