    Nobody should sign up for this.

    I don't want you clogging up my bandwidth.

    On a related note, any movement on the "setting up a cfans stream of CSN?"
    How do you even manage to do that anyway?

    Could you use a prepaid Visa card to sign up?

    They give instructions here:

    http://www.ballstreams.com/devices

    Basically, you run the stream off of your computer, and your XBox is able to see the stream and display it. I've got it working on both XBox and PS3.

    I'd rather just pay a little extra and get League Pass. I just hope League Pass has the preseason games like they did last year, usually they don't. I don't live in the Houston area so no blackout problem for me.

    I think if I was going to use it, it would be purchased using a prepaid card and then logged into using a VPN. Just my two cents.

    I'm very suspicious of any paper trail, so if you intend on using a Prepaid Visa, I recommend buying that with cash :grin:

    Still, I'm going to leave this alone and pray for more VLC streams

    Before I switched to immigration law I articled at a firm specializing in intellectual property rights for 6 months. All I'll say is bmd's concern is legit.

    Whatever you're doing, be careful and be prepared to face any possible consequence. May just losing a little money, maybe losing some sleep, maybe something more. If you have to do a lot of things to get around it, you already know that what you're doing is wrong.

    There is no way that the NBA would go after the users...

    If I am signing up for that, the only thing I'm worried about is the site getting shut down and me being out 60 bucks.

    Sorry if this has been asked before but is there a limit on how many streams you can have at a time from one account? Kinda like how Netflix only allows you to stream on two devices at once on one account

    That's my concern. Which is why I am waiting until next season to do this. I hope it does not get shut down.

    You never know. The UFC has been going after both the broadcasters AND users of free streams.

    LP was super laggy for me the last time I purchased it.

    Very disappointed. I actually contacted my bank and they did a 'charge back'.

    NBA did not dispute my claim that their product was doo-doo.
