    I was trying to set it up to record last night and I couldn't find it anywhere...

    EDIT: So it's on My20...how about HD? I could have sworn I saw someone mention My20 HD. I sure haven't seen it (on Comcast).

    first time i am watching a playoff game on nbatv my question is this:

    usually during the year they will just piggy back a broadcast of one of the local teams whenever they had a game scheduled. Is that the same for the playoffs or does NBATV send their own broadcast team to the game and call it? I would be upset if they chose the jazz team tonight instead of Bill/Clyde and Matt. (but if memory serves they usually choose the home teams broadcast ppl)

    i think last year game 3 was on NBATV and they did have their own guys call the game (Steve 'Snapper' Jones was the color broadcaster) just dont know what the situation is this year. If anyone knows and can clarify I would be grateful.

    I think someone talked about SopCast a while back. I'm not sure where to get it, though.

    My internet is so unreliable. In the evening there's no way I get enough bandwidth to get a Rockets game on sopcast. So frustrating, and I've been dealing with this all season.

    Why don't those links load like other video files? They will play audio and video, but then the video will get choppy and there's no going back. From there it gives me one screen (refreshed every 5 seconds) and an audio feed.

    Why can't I pause it and let it load until I can get a smooth feed? I'm woefully ignorant when it comes to computers. Is this possible as a way to circumvent my lagging bandwidth?

    I get Astros games on My20 in austin (channel 77) when they're not on FSN but its showing the Rangers game tonight. Doh!

    They still piggy back off the local broadcast. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping we get the houston feed!

    really? cause I thought that they're using their own broadcasters from NBA TV, but if they don't, then yeah I hope it's the home commentators.

    Last time I saw an NBA TV broadcast they actually had their own announcers, including Fred "Mad Dog" Carter. It was a most scintillating viewing experience :rolleyes:

    As far as I'm concerned it just another instance of the NBA dissing the Rockets. I think all other games in the first round have either been on ESPN, TNT, or ABC. Not everybody who gets cable or satellite TV can afford League Pass (NBA.com channel comes with that on DirecTV). NBA TV is part of a regional type sports package with DirecTV. But you have to keep it for a whole month and that seems like too much for just one game, when I could care less about the rest of the month's programming.

    If it is a scheduling problem, just once you'd like to see somebody else get the skid instead of the Rockets. I think we all should complain LOUDLY to the NBA about this. Many Rockets fans around the country who thought they were going to get to watch this critical game tonight won't get to. :mad:
