Ok, so the NFL Mobile app on Sprint will be showing all of the live NFL Network Thursday games.  This is good news if you happen to be stuck at work or not near a TV on Thursday nights, however, the video for everything else on this phone is so terrible that I doubt it will be worth even trying to watch.  The Sprint TV video is terrible, it's either green and pixelated or just freezes while the audio keeps playing.  Even videos in the actual NFL Mobile app suffer from these problems.  You try and watch the highlight videos, or interviews, and they are just the "digital pixelation"/half green effect, so how do they pkan on making an entire streaming football game work for 3 hours?

The mods are found here. http://www.instinct-samsung.com/samsung-instinct-tricks-and-tips/sprint-tv-skippingghosting/msg18168/#msg18168

They helped my TV tremendously.  Make sure to write down your original IP and Port numbers in case you want to change them back.

Mine was watchable with many resets during the game.

I hope they are working on it as TV was down today.

It also was not a Phone issue as I tried it on the M520 as well with no hacks to that.

If the NFL is going to stamp it's name on it Sprint better get it working better for the NFL will move on.

Thoughts...Horrible, just horrible...
It's the live play that counts...but come on now, they hike the ball and the whole play gets muffled by "Sprint's HD Quality Pixelghost", and the rest of the time it looks okay ( I guess ). 
Just horrible...15 frames per second may be perfect for slow-mo...But not a live game........maybe golf would look perfect, but we're talking Live Football folks!
Travesty...

Mine was terrible for the first half kept on crashing after 30 seconds but by half time it was working really well watched the complete 2nd half with no problems looked like sprint turned on the switch.

my guess would be it was laggy from everyone who was trying it out.  2nd half I'm sure more than 1/2 gave up making up for the crap that is sprintTV

Considering I cant get NFL Mobile to play the radio broadcast... adding a picture to it would be completely useless I am sure.

I managed to get it to play the radio broadcast ONE time, and everytime since it just says "buffering" or "playing" but never does play.

Also I noticed if you open NFL Mobike during your team's game you no longer get the text updates.  I can be getting uodates for every score, end of quarter, etc, but as soon as I open NFL Mobile I will never get an update again, never even get the final score.

Also, anyone else wish you got updates for BOTH teams' scores?  Nothin worse then getting a text about your team scoring only to see they are losing and you uad no clue the other team even scored.

I didnt even know it did that... and am freaking glad I didnt know because only getting half the IMPORTANT info would just piss me off more.

Yeah, the radio doesnt work... period.

The game has not started, how are you watching it?  The pregame is coming in quite nice though, much better than last week when it would crash after 5 minutes.

And crash #1 7:14pm  right at kickoff time how nice
So far the audio is great and the tv is pretty bad.
10:40pm cst audio now is sub par and am getting about 1 frame per 3 seconds.
