    Looks like someone wants Sling TV referrals

    You're not being a party pooper but you are misinformed. Sling TV is 100% legal. It's owned by Dish Network.

    Also, there aren't any referrals for Sling Tv

    Is it possible to get a free trial of ballstreams? I'd hate to pay for it then have the same issues I had with Sling.

    No free trials with ballstreams. You only try it on pc? Sounds like your PC. Works fine for me on all my devices. I mainly use on roku

    If you have Comcast xfinity. You can download the app and watch live tv through mobile things like iPad, iPhone, and androids

    Honestly no, this are the current prices they have.

    Playoff Special 30
    1 Day 7.50
    1 Week 13
    1 Month 18
    3 Months 40
    6 Months 60
    1 year 100

    The owners of this website honestly went beyond expectation and have provided a good reliable basketball streaming service.
    Way better quality than Reddit and other online streaming links. And as a bonus you can constantly catch Mav's fans crying and b*itchin in the live chat.

    It's not working on my ipad either. It was playing and looked great for about one minute before the screen went black and it said "catching up." I left it like that forever and it never came back on. Restarted, and it played for another 30 seconds or so before doing the same thing again.

    Actually, it's the only legit service. It's offered on Amazon with the same devices offered on Sling with the same deal:
    http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CX5P8FC?_encoding=UTF8&showFS=1

    I'm willing to bet those services have a contract with them. BallStreams is asking for a "donation".

    Even today? I'm using it now and it works on all devices. Could be ISP issues. You try using another connection ?

    Streaming can be very spotty on my Roku. I usually don't have much issue streaming other things on my Roku.

    however, when i connect my hdmi from my computer to the tv, the sound isn't being relayed onto the tv?

    Ballstreams works great for me, i can just stream it to my chromecast from my phone or Pc which makes it just so convenient for me. I can watch games on Demand as well.
