    Anyone affected by the blackout who has Direct TV can stream the game to their cell phone through the Direct TV app through their WiFi network. The game is blacked out on my TV however it works through my phone. I wish I had a mini HDMI to HDMI so I could stream this back to my TV. I will have one for the next game on NBA TV. (I know it works with Android, not sure about IPhone or Windows phones)

    Sorry for the new thread as I know there are threads on how to watch the game but sometimes things get lost in threads and I figured DTV cutomers may appreciate this.

    If you got it through Directv, watch it on LP BB and then use a IP Blocker/Proxy.

    I don't have LP and have no desire to pay for it (I got kids in college not to mention I have issues paying for something I should get for free if not for the CSN-H fiasco). I know LP is free through tomorrow but I didn't bother messing with it. There are several games on NBA TV this year so any DTV customers can use this trick to watch blacked out games.

    I think he means borrowing a receiver from someone out of the blackout area.
