    You needed more choices in the poll. I chose "all of them" since it was the closest to actual but in truth I have probably watched about 90% of them. The only ones I missed were due to having other things to do which IMHO is the worst thing about not having the channel available in that I am unable to record them on my DVR. When it is game time, it is not that big of a deal to watch a stream. It takes just a few minutes to get a stream up and running and get all the pop up ads closed. The quality is not as good as live TV but I have gotten used to it but I REALLY miss being able to DVR games,

    Attended 2 in person and watched 2 televised nationally. If ClutchFans didn't exist I'm pretty sure I would have stopped watching.

    Almost all. Watch all mine via streaming...from somewhere. Not HD quality though, more like 480p? Not from Houston and don't have cable. Not willing to pay for LP either.

    Yeah, I tried to edit the poll once I realized but it won't let me.

    I've seen most of them, but that's because I have league pass and don't live in Houston currently so the blackout doesn't affect me.

    Comcast won't keep me from watching the Rockets I've seen every game online.

    All the games on comcast for me. I watch it on League Pass with VPN. Since I don't have cable, I usually miss the NBA TV games and ESPN/TNT games. They get blacked out on League Pass.

    Ballstreams has been great. It allowed me to dump comcast.

    I've watched everything on national TV, and go to a local sandwich place every once in a while for a few local ones.

    Won't overpay for comcast. Eventually the major providers are going to lose their war with the internet.

    I live in Austin and have both League Pass and NBAtv (and a pair of DVRs), so I've seen all of them. Several more than once. I have friends and family in Houston, though, and this whole mess with Comcast has many of them furious. Those in Houston struggling to watch our Rockets have my deepest sympathy.

    You can't spell Ballstreams without all (of them).
