Hello, die hard rockets fan in Austin wanting to watch the season. I have FuboTV which carries ATTSW. I’m able to watch the Astros from Austin but not the Rockets. Anyone know why I’m blacked out for the Rockets when San Antonio is the closest team? according to the checkout page on NBA league pass, I’m blacked out from the Rockets games. Does anyone else live in Austin and tried via League Pass? It’s 2019, we shouldn’t be having this problem lol. i appreciate any all replies for help! Thanks
Just talked to NBA league pass support, they say that only the Spurs are blacked out in Austin, despite what the app and website say. I can’t guarantee that, but it’s what I was told today, all games that aren’t nationally broadcast should be viewable live in Austin. If you subscribe and the first game that isn’t nationally televised is blacked out you can ask for a refund. You will still need a way to watch TNT, ABC, etc to see all the games live.
Crack streams, or look in game day thread is what I would advise. Then again, I don't do the less than legal streams, so I might be out of touch. Also, VPN to hide your location works.
We have had League Pass since it first became available in Austin(many years ago) and the only Rockets gamers blacked out are those with San Antonio. You can still watch the game on FoxSW but you have to endure the Sam Antonio announcers.
Black outs shouldn’t exist in any form, they’re purely a cash grab from when broadcasting something was actually difficult. It’s unlikely to change, regardless of how far technology progresses.
I used reddit last season with great success. Also discovered the Crew add-on for Kodi. So far streams are HD and good.
Rockets aren’t blocked in Austin on LP unless they are national games or are playing the Spurs. Which is really unfortunate bc Sean Elliott is unlistenable.
