How was everyone's experience with the Amazon Prime TNF experience?

I watched the first half through game pass before switching over to prime. Once I figured out how to get it on the Prime Vision experience I was pretty impressed. I really liked being able to see the All-22 and then also the names on the players, the stats, the route tracing, etc.

What did you all think?

I thought it was fine, no hiccups besides it being streaming, but overall there was no difference. I'm a fan of Kirk Herbstreit so the broadcast was good. I realize some don't have access and didn't realize how it was being aired, but IMHO, I don't know how because it's been something that has been advertised for months.

As this type of format evolves people just have to ensure they have to proper internet speed to view it continuously in that format.

I didn't even know there was a prime vision experience until this morning so will have to figure that out next time. That would be awesome. As for the stream, it had a few times where it downgraded to blurry and had a couple of freezes but nothing that didn't correct itself within seconds.

I had no trouble at all with it. It never blurred or got choppy.

However NBC on YouTube Live TV isn’t working correctly for football games.

Didn't do the Prime Vision will try that out next week. Overall though liked the crew, the video quality was great and streaming provided no service issues. I like the product so far.

I'm not a streaming guru (get most services via my TV apps which may have a slighter different interface), but last night I watched the game from a parking lot waiting for my daughter to finish a lesson.

I found it refreshing that if I missed a play, or fast-forwarded too far through commercials (btw, why am I watching commercials when I PAY FOR PRIME?!), my phone app allowed perfect rewind ability. Some apps only allow real-time when streaming.

The prime vision took me a minute to get used to but it honestly is something that could completely change the viewing experience of games. Like I am kind of sad I won't get it on Sunday.

The All-22 was really cool to see. it took me a bit to get used to them putting the players names above them because it blocks out some of the field and some other players a little bit but it was super neat to see the route tracing.

I am not one that really pays a lot of attention the next-gen stats stuff but having it right there on the screen definitely makes you pay attention.

Had to turn it off due to massive digitizing and blur. Not sure what the issue is as I watch the Rams games on NFL+ and its clear as a bell, as are movies I buy in Amaozon Prime.

The quality of the feed was great. Better than anything I've seen to date, actually--better than that compressed trash on cable. Buffered once towards the end, but otherwise played without a hitch. Saw them mention the extra stuff somewhere during the broadcast but didn't bother messing with it this time.

I’m not the biggest fan, but I saw a game on Amazon 2 years ago. I think 9ers & Cardinals.That might have been when they went to the SuperBowl?
I liked it because I believe it was different than Thursday Night Football? You had to say you were an adult or ok with language. Anyway I thought it was cool because they didn’t blip out the foul language.
If you didn’t have NFL Network you didn’t get those Thursday Night games either. Amazon Prime it’s easy to stream anywhere just about.

It was flawless for me. I watched in my detached garage and was able to stream in 4k all night. No issues. As I mentioned a few days ago, I love that they give you rewind and FF on the stream. Good shit. Will try vision experience next time.

I had some issues. Froze about 4 times and kept having to reset the system. Kept on saying slow speeds. I live in the SD area so maybe it was my provider. My fire stick also over heated.... First time for everything I guess
