Since I can't watch the Cowboys games here, I signed up for NFL Field Pass so that I could listen to the game online. Fortunately it offered a 7-day free trial. I figured I'd keep my subscription because I don't want to go to a sports bar every week to see the game.
However, I'm on hold to cancel my subscription right now for several reasons. I couldn't hear the first 30 minutes of the game, they just played music the whole time, so I spent like 20 minutes trying different browsers and different feeds so that I could hear the game and none of them worked. I think they were just asleep at the switch or something because eventually the game feed came on. It was intermittent at first, but eventually the audio started coming through fine. However, on every commercial break they muted the commercial and put on the same music, however after the commercial break I'd always miss the first few words while I waited for them to turn off the music and turn on the game audio. And each time they did that, the sound came back at a different volume, so I kept having to adjust my volume.
Anyway, maybe it works for some people, but this was such a crappy experience that I figured I'd let everyone know. And I've been on hold for 10 minutes so that I can cancel my subscription. So, for now, I guess I'll just have to go to a sports bar if I want to see a game that isn't shown here.

NFL Field Pass sucks

Well, that was about a 25 minute call to cancel. The service is operated by RealNetworks, which I wish I had known from the beginning, because everything they touch seems to suck.
