I am going to watch the game at a friends house tonight. He said it came with a sports package (NBA league pass?). I have left him a message asking what it's comming on. I'll post it when he calls if (when) someone beats me to it.
Man, this Sucks..I'm ova here in the EAst Coast ( Boston ). dont have that "NBA Special League Pass" shiettttt either. dying to see young ming play again. someone please tell me if its on the radio!
I don't even think you can purchase NBA League Pass yet, can you? If anything, I guess that they will show the game on NBATV, which is a channel that comes standard with digitial cable or if you have a satellite dish. The other option is that it could be shown on ESPNews, which is a channel you have to pay extra for with digitial cable. I'm not sure if this channel is standard for satellite dishes, but you can also get it that way.
To my knowledge, DIRECTV'S League Pass is subscription based but NBA.com TV is not. According to my satelite, NBA.com TV will rebroadcast China vs Germany at 11:00 PM CST this evening. For those in Austin with DIRECTV, that's channel 720. Perhaps one of the cable subscribers could check their listings and post. I'm watching AND taping this one!!!
Is there anyway you can listen to the games over the internet? It would be nice to be able to keep up with Ming and China.

Damn, I'll miss Yao against the U.S. because I have tickets to watch UT open up a national championship season against Sun Belt power North Texas... on second thought, maybe I'll stay in the dorm and watch Yao.
I know the China/Germany is being tape-delayed on NBA TV, can we see it live at the Real Player website listed above. I work at 6 am, so 11 pm start's gonna kill me tomorrow. Thanks for the above info.
I have just subscribed to the Realplayer superpass. But when I tried to watch NBA.com TV, it said "we are sorry, NBA TV is not available online at this time. Please check back after Spet 7th for highlight?. Anyone knows what's going on?
I got the superpass at realone. But when I try to access NBA TV, it says "NBA TV is not available on line till sept. 7", WTF. Anyone else has the same problem?
