    I am poor and try to get by with online access. The links would end up dieing midstream. The quality was so blurry and poor. Other days, there wouldn't be any links at all. Half the time, the announcers were speaking only in Chinese.

    in the same boat, and do not recommend trying to watch free streaming. i have a decent speed computer but was rarely able to make it through an entire game without the feed going out - often in the 2nd and 4th quarters. when it was running, unless it was a veetle broadcast, it was grainy. will definitely be checking out league pass broadband this year.

    paying 200 bucks is a rip off imo, the online links always work well for me

    not really, and how are they unreliable? I watched all 82 games on it last season
    My connections never skip
    you should fins some better links, like I said, I watched all 82 games in pretty decent quality, all in English last season

    $169 for league pass or for 82 games is only like $2 a game....a good deal for good quality vids.

    ...that would NOT be enjoyable watching a game on a tiny screen like that. Maybe an iPad, but still - there is something to be said for the quality of watching a Rockets game in HD on a big TV screen that you will never get with an iphone, ipad, or a streaming file on a computer.

    There is a small chance I have to move out of state in October. So my question is, if I buy league pass, do I get to watch all 82 Rocket games?

    I'm in Austin yea dude no Rockets games here. You're just going to have to meet me at Third Base off of I35 and 45 Toll Rd for Rockets games. I usually go there for the big games there is usually a few Rockets fans there.

    Eat um up cats... Lived in San Marcos for five years. At Bobcat Village and University Heights AKA The Exchange.

    Had League Pass at both and it was worth every cent.

    Hi guys, thanks for all the inputs. I'll consider getting League Pass. The problem for me is not money, but time commitment. 82 games is like 250 hours of game watching. My wife just married me... don't want to lose her yet.

    The good news is, now I'm in Texas, I can go to Houston and San Antonio for some Rockets games. :grin:

    Bah. Just stream online. I've lived in Austin for 5 years and that has never failed me. Especially when it comes to not spending money.

    where do you go to do that? I am in the military and don't get coverage here in Wyo. I haven't seen a Rockets game since 2008-09 playoffs :confused: :(
