    you should get league passes. it's worth every penny of the 99 dollars. i'm happy with the resolution and smooth streaming so far.

    if you are referring to League Pass Broadband ($99), you will not be able to view the game because of blackout restrictions. it will be aired on NBAtv, hence the blackout on League Pass BB.

    this also means anyone in the LA area will have to watch their local broadcast, as Laker games on NBAtv also get blacked out...

    Dang it, Thats bad news. I hate watching games on NBA TV, they cut off the announcers all the time to play that cheesy music then go to a stupid infomercial just in time to miss the first play or two after every time out. Not the mention the amazing :rolleyes: NBA TV commentators! Ok end rant. I complained, I feel better.

    It's not like I like streaming over illegal means, but a lot of games get blacked out, so I look at it as like why should I even get league pass? It infuriates me...

    Ah, the only reason we got Fan Night is because of the Lakers. They automatically win every week, regardless of who they play. lol

    Yeah there will be HD, it's at home so there will be HD on FSN and NBATV (Unless of course you don't have the channel)

    i understand, sometimes it is difficult to be home for a game, especially if you live in Mountain or Pacific time zone. Then, because its blacked out, you cant watch the archive... the next best thing is that NBAtv will re-air their own broadcasts, as well as the TNT broadcast from the previous night. but still, it becomes difficult to catch "every game" as advertised...


    and LOL at the only way to win a FanNight poll on nba.com is to be matched up against the Lakers on a Tuesday night...

    I have Comcast and everytime the rockets get to be on NBAtv, right before the game starts, NBA tv freezes....and then it's a black screen the rest of the night....anyone else in Houston with comcast have the same problem? I can only watch the standard Def. FSN.

    See here's the thing about HD. NBA TV HD, if you have DirecTV or Dish Network is not blacked out when Houston plays, I think it's a flaw but it always works for me and others that I know. FSN HD, is never blacked out for Houstonians, it should always work. The only blacked out channel is NBA TV (non-hd)..

    Most of the time, they usually have Bill Worrell and Clyde/Bullard as the announcers so I don't bother watching it on NBA TV HD and just watch on FSN HD.
