    Just a heads up. Apparently they have new technology in place which supposedly delivers better video quality.

    This is the link to the international version (to which I automatically get redirected).

    The premium version costs $ 149.95 for the season. Quite a steep price, but I guess I'll bite if the quality is acceptable.

    Just a few notes to add:

    IF you had Broadband last year and you still have instant renewal going, DON'T sign up or switch to the new service. It's more expensive than last year. Ride out your current subscription until they force the price hike on you.

    As always, don't forget Rocket games are blacked out in the Houston area. I learned this the hard way and had to go find a proxy service to watch games from work :grin:

    Anyone know a reliable way to get local games with this? Do proxies make it too slow?

    Getting the same message: I'm from Guam and I was a subscirber of international league pass last year.....whether I click on international or national broadband league pass I get the same message. Maybe it's not ready yet.

    I'm watching Spurs-Rockets on it right now, and WOW! Amazing quality, shame about the price tag for regular season. Plus I don't really have time to watch NBA games this year.

    Are you using the US version? That might account for the difference in price?

    Was today's game on the US version of LPBB? Because I couldn't find a link to launch the player, and I've already been charged the first installment fee.

    i didn't see it either.

    if there's one confusing subject around here, it's NBA League Pass.

    Broadband.

    International.

    interface is completely different. actually 'much better' is a gross understatement. the difference b/t last year's ILP product and what i watched the rox/spers game on is like rosanne barr vs heidi klum
