    Ballstreams not an option at the moment. Currently have Dish, which does not carry Root Sports. Nba League pass not an option because games will be blacked out. Does anyone have suggestions? I don't mind paying. I really prefer HD quality though. Thanks!

    Going to be my 3rd season using Ballstrams on the Roku

    really does suck being a Dish Network customer, but the grandfathered plan with local channels/DVR, connecting 2 TVs under 1 box is hard to let go, so $60 for 6 months of Ballstreams is worth it to me

    Totally agree. I've been a ballstream user last 3 seasons too but didn't renew my premium on time I guess, and now can't get in because they aren't offering premium service at the moment. On the hunt for something similar.

    I'm dish and I have NBA league pass and I some how get the rockets games. Although the away games I get the enemies announcers. But it is very weird because when the rockets are at home any commercial break and halftime is blacked out just a screen that shows the score of the game and stats. Very strange I have no idea why or how I'm able to get the games seeing as I live in Houston. I'm forced to have dish from my condo the building has some sort of contract with a distributor for dish thats based out of Dallas. I assume that's why I'm able to get the games.

    could be about 6 years ago I had dish and LP living in LA but for me while I had Clippers/Lakers blacked out on my tv I didn't on my LP Broadband. It was weird because I logged into LP Broadband for the first time at my sisters place in CT because I was visiting there and her market was apparently the Knicks/Nets so my LP Broadband account from there on out that season no matter where I was logging in from - Los Angeles, AZ, TX etc. I had Knicks/Nets games blacked out but not Lakers/Clippers game.

    but ballstreams is better now

    Just curious. For the folks who have dish that are die hard rox fans. Why not switch to DirectTV? I am not familiar with the pricing structure. But I would assume they are competitive.

    Dish is cheaper than direct tv.

    Your best bet is to change your ip and get league pass, I assume.

    AT&T Uverse "streams" the games. However, it seems like it might be redundant to also have The Dish if you also have AT&T Uverse.
