Can you share the name of the site? I’m in west Texas and the idiots at League pass black out all 3 Texas teams
Unlinking what? Nothing was linked. The only way I've found to watch it was by linking the subscription to my existing Amazon Prime subscription. Before that, it would ask me for my tv provider. I don't have a tv provider (other than YouTubeTV). Yeah, same here.... until this year. No idea what it's expecting or what it wants me to do. What's weird is I already had signed into my NBA.com account during the pre-season and everything seemed ok. Now when the season starts, it says signing in isn't enough. I tried logging in on my PC, and that still wasn't enough - still asking me for my tv provider. I wonder if that's the catch? Who knows. BTW, did you sign up on NBA.com's site? Seems this may be similar to my issue, but still not sure. Still doesn't explain why I can't watch it on NBA.com/NBA app, though :
Well, today it took my YouTube login when trying to link for whatever reason. I now can log in/run the app via Roku on my TV, but it shows that I can't watch game replays until after 3 days after the game. Which is odd because I can watch the games using the NBA app on my phone and I watched the game through Amazon Prime on my pc last night. lol. Next season, I may just take Adam Silver's comment to heart and just watch some highlights on Twitter.
Yes, but YouTubeTV was my provider yesterday, too, when I couldn't link it and still couldn't watch on anything. Today, I could link it, but, after doing so, have the blackout rules applied for whatever reason. I wonder if it's because I traveled to Houston and logged into YouTube TV at my other house so it thinks I'm down there? No idea. I can still watch normally when linked with Amazon Prime, though. Now I've linked to both Amazon and YouTubeTV, so hopefully all this allows me to at least watch on something whenever I want to.
I'm in Austin and purchased through Prime and have not had any problems at all. I use Apple TV and have also used Android phone. I did notice using NBA app instead of Prime gets better picture quality.
I think that is it......somewhere it is getting restrictions - NBA.com has never been restricted for me, but YoutubeTV had the Spurs restrictions and now on Amazon it has a Houston restriction...FFS....it is nuts. DD
I've always bought through NBA.com and it auto renews. I have the NBA app on my Roku TV and sometimes I have to sign back in. Feels like it might have asked me my TV provider and I always selected the other option.
I have used VPN, when watching MLB on prime, only way I could watch the stros in ATX, I think Prime has me flagged as living in Houston or something need to find a way to change that. DD
Yeah, that's the way I've always done it with no issues. This time, the only option it had was to log in with NBA ID and to sign out (or something like that). Log in with NBA ID asks you to log in and then asks you to provide your TV provider. Yesterday I gave Youtube as my provider. It didn't accept it. Today I did Youtube, and it accepted, but I can only replay games 3 days after they've aired. Meanwhile on Amazon, I can watch it whenever from the looks of it. What's funny is that I log into my NBA account in my browser and tried to link it to my YouTube account and it says "Your plan does not include access to this game. Please contact your TV Provider to upgrade or Subscribe below." Meanwhile on my Roku, it apparently thinks it's ok, I just have to wait 3 days to watch the game, while through my Amazon Prime subscription, it looks like I can watch whenever.
Update I realize only now that my LP auto renewed lmao. Good thing I discovered that now. But the app seems better this year. No lag so far looks noticeably more responsive
I would pay many good hard earned American monies to not deal with the crap you and DD are talking about
I live in Austin and haven’t had any issues. The weird thing is my parents live in Houston and have been able to catch the games on my Prime Account which previously didn’t work.
@T for 3 Is your vpn solution still working? @DaDakota Curious if you can confirm that vpn gets around nba blackouts? Can you watch last nights Spurs game vs Phoenix direct at nba,com, not Amazon. I think you said you’d confirm that in the other thread.
