Just in time for the Olympics. Will be really useful for NFL, NHL, and EPL matches.

Sweet, will use this for F1 going forward. Also will use it to follow the Olympics.

....uhhh, I've been using this for a while now.

Used it to watch the first round of soccer too.

I guess it just got out of the Preview program since I just noticed it this week.

I guess it just got out of the Preview program since I just noticed it this week.

I certainly think it's worth a thread. It's a pretty quick way to watch everything.

Has replays too.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

No 360

Guess I won't be able to watch F1 in bed.

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

What will it cost me to watch the Olympics on this?

If you got a friend or family member with cable, you can ask them for their login info. That's what I'm doing

 

[LowerLevel]

Yes! More Celtics!

 

[RedSwirl]

It's on the Windows Store too.

 

[Karish]

This is amazing

 

[Delicious Waffles]

Rebecca Lowe on my XBO?

*fist pump*

 

[Noobcraft]

Disappointing that I can't watch anything without cable. My college apartment doesn't have cable, just fiber.

 

[RBH]

So far, so good with this app. Quick loading times when switching between the different live feeds.

 

[macgoeszoom]

Sweet!! Thanks for the info. I checked last week and this wasn't there. Can't wait to watch some F1 and NASCAR on it!

 

[JaggedSac]

Been watching the Olympics on it, working great.
