    If this is the case why not then just get league pass for an iphone for $49 and airplay to Apple TV? Or can not do that and not use wifi to do it either.

    On a side note this is a bit confusing to find the best method to watch the rockets. Haha

    My personal favorite method is Laptop > HDMI cable > TV :grin:

    If you have a wireless mouse, you're set from your couch as well!

    I have a macbook so I guess it would be good enough. I'm not very good with computer details lol.

    I used it yesterday to watch the rockets game vs. Mavs and also checked out the Lakers game live. The quality is great but for some reason the live game was better quality than the on demand game for me. It's not really a problem because I watch most of the games live anyways, but I found it kind of odd .

    Anyways I'll try connecting it to my tv later today and see how it goes.

    I'd love to have that as an option. The $49 mobile League Pass Stream isn't suitable for HD display, and even the full League Pass offering is untenable because:

    • I can't watch nationally televised games
    • I can't watch playoff games, or the All-Star Game
    • I can't watch games that feature my hometown team, the Houston Rockets

    Has anyone from Canada tried this? New here, and just heard about this since NBA LP blacks out a lot of games(all Raptors games) and was looking for an alternative.

    Also, my internet(Based on speedtest.net) is around 25 MBps but when I tried watching the preview on http://www.ballstreams.com/preview, it kept stopping to buffer after every 10 seconds or so on 3200 KBps.

    It says "Please note that Live and On-Demand streams have the ability to choose a location closer to you, while the Preview does not."
    Seeing that I live in Canada, would it make a big difference and should I be able to watch games in HD without lag?

    Thanks for any help!

    Why use an HDMI that's so 2010. I prefer airplay from either my iMac or iPhone. :p

    Ahh ok. See I didn't know that it was not suited for a large screen. I assumed it was a reason though. I'm still on the fence about this. I guess I have a few days and then I will decide on this or league pass.

    I may be late on this question, but is there a way to run ballstreams from an Xbox?

    My problem is I have no device that can hook up to my TV besides my Xbox (without purchasing something more).

    My computer is an old HP Touchsmart that does not have a VGA or HDMI

    I've seen it on 2 other non-basketball message boards I regularly visit and I only regularly visit 4 so who knows how fast this has been spreading everywhere else. Never underestimate the internet.

    I got kicked out twice during the stream saying I was signed in multiple locations. WTF.
