Chromecast and League Pass: Possible CSN workaround?

I went to their site and couldn't find a regional map anywhere? Any more specifics?

 

I plug my laptop to tv via hdmi. Hit full screen on my league pass and done. Not sure why I would need this if I just plug this in. For the purpose it was brought up its illogical. If u want to show of the other features then that's a diff story but quoting u have a laptop and calling this he workaround is a bit of false advertisement.

Some of u said u don't want to deal with moving laptop near tv to plug well my question to you is why do u want ur laptop with you on ur couch? Does this enable u to beam league pass and still use the laptop? I only ask because if u trying to watch full screen I would think ur laptop could not be used during the game. If u can use laptop while beaming full screen then yeah cool toy. But if u beam and can't use the laptop then I see no point. For those with pcs only then it's great!

 

East Texas? No need to look at any maps. You can get league pass without blackouts.

East Texas is in no way shape or form considered a regional Rockets area. You're good

 

Thanks so much.

 

I just read an Article saying CSN Houston could possibly be filing Bankruptcy, per a Houston Rocket source!

 

How is this a "solution"? Paying $35 for something you could already do for free with a simple HDMI or VGA cable? WTF? This changes nothing that wasn't already available to you as far as watching the games goes. And it only runs from Chrome, so on those occasions such as last year when a Chrome update caused LPBB to run laggy for a week and I had to use IE, I'd be screwed (Well, if I was crazy enough to pay for Chromecast in the first place and ignored other, more convenient options).

 

can someone recommend me a reliable and easy-to-use VPN service? I am not computer savvy so I am willing to pay extra for a simple and reliable service

 

chromecast will actually be really useful for me, i'll be able to use it in hotel rooms and ****, lol

 

I imagine the Rockets probably feel the Astros are costing them money, the Astros region includes San Antonio etc (you can see why the Rockets don't feel that is particularly necessary to them...)

 

Your response on number 3 save the thread. Good thread.

 

Dude. Go to a store, any store, and check the prices on a 20 foot HDMI cable and VGA cable and get back to us on just how "expensive" this wireless dongle is.

Chromecast can stream wirelessly from any android phone, iphone, ipad, android tablet, laptop, or computer (whether PC or Mac.) You have HDMI jacks on all of those?

Any family member or buddy can sit down and if they want to show you a cool video, just pull it up on their phone, watch it on TV. Oh, $35... what a waste. [/sarcasm]

 

By the way, I haven't seen this mentioned- when you buy the Chromecast you get 3 months of Netflix free, even if you're already a subscriber, which pushes the total cost under $20.
