    For some reason, they take awhile to upload all the games. Usually in preseason, all the games don't get added until the day of.

    For example, the Cavs-Maccabi game tonight wasn't showing up until like late last night or yesterday.

    If Tuesday gets here and still no Rockets feed shows up, then I will submit a ticked and they will get it sorted.

    Some preseason games aren't even televised. For example the Miami-New Orleans game yesterday had no TV whatsoever. So of course Ballstreams couldn't stream it.

    I just subscribed to League Pass on the weekend.
    Will they be showing the Rockets V Dallas game this week?
    Tried to watch the Miami V Pelicans game yesterday and it come up that it wasn't televised.

    I cant wait to go back to DirecTV. I made the switch to Comcast when this soap opera started and the HD programming on DTV is light years ahead of Crapcast.

    Honest question. I know the speeds are crazy fast compared to the competition, but besides downloading movies or music via torrents etc, what is the need for this much speed? I have Uverse with only 29 down, and even while both my wife and I are on Wi-Fi and both watching Netflix on separate TV's I still get zero lag.

    I download a lot of music and movies. I also have a media server on my desktop that allows me to access my entire media collection on any computer or mobile device that has an internet connection. I get 20-30 Mbps upload, so that's a huge reason for me. Also, I find my connection speeds to be much more reliable since I switched from Uverse to Comcast.

    But if you're a casual internet user and you're one of the lucky Uverse users who doesn't have issues with speed consistency, then there really is no benefit apart from price.

    Was checking the League Pass schedule for tomorrow and was pleasantly surprised to see that the Rockets vs Mavs game had been added. Also according to the guide it will be the Houston feed. Can't wait. :grin:

    Don't have the ability to get comcast in NY, and I don't want it anyway, perfectly happy with DirecTV, get my 49ers on NFL Sunday Ticket, and Rockets on NBA League Pass.

    technically the speed is limited to the server youre connected to so even though speed net says 160 it could be 100 for all I know. anyhow yes I download a lot of material in the background. I trade the market for living and have a bunch of live quotes streaming for multiple screens going on. so I wanted to be downloading something in background and still being able to do my work. also why I had to go with 12gb ram on my computer

    more than anything I wanted dependability. in Dallas I was on this expanded t1 line that was 100 down but 60 up! upload was ridiculous
