In this week's column Bob examines NFL Game Rewind, which lets subscribers watch an entire season of NFL games on demand, after the live telecasts have concluded.
While live NFL contests are typically must-see TV, the league hasn't forgotten those who miss their home team's game, or want to see others later on. For these fans, it has created the NFL Game Rewind app which provides up to 256 games, the playoffs and the Super Bowl in HD.
This on-demand-based package has attracted fans, perhaps more as a cheaper alternative to NFL Sunday Ticket, for watching games they wouldn't otherwise see. But otherwise it's an apples-to-oranges comparison as NFL Game Rewind users have to wait until games are over to watch them.
This is not to suggest that NFL Game Rewind is a replacement for live game broadcasts or NFL Sunday Ticket but instead is an alternative to those for fans that can't attend or watch the games when they air. Football fans can use it as a supplement to live broadcasts for games they wouldn't otherwise see.
The Benefits.
The service uses an app that's free for iOS, Android and Windows devices. The league plans to extend its reach from PCs and tablets to smartphones. For those that can shield themselves from daytime, afternoon and night scores, highlight shows and sports talk about games already played; it's Game On for NFL Game Rewind.
NFL Game Rewind subscribers can watch full-game replays of their favorite team for $29.99, or pay $39.99 for Season to view all NFL regular season games. The top version, Season Plus, costs $69.99 and lets fans watch full game replays of every NFL Game all season long - Including the playoffs and Super Bowl XLIX. Subscribers can pay in installments for the top two versions if preferred.
