    Mind sharing how you swung that deal? Are there any magic words to speak while complaining, or is it just a matter of calling and calling until you get a favorable rep?

    Right now quite a few fans are switching to comcast, as long as that is the case there is no reason at all for comcast to lower their demands. F*** comcast and F*** Les Alexander and the entire Rockets organization. F*** Off Rockets

    this site has all kinds of sports captures and I have not missed one game so far this year. sometimes you have to scroll through the thread to find the torrent link cause each thread also has the download links like that guy in Dish posts.

    Is it possible to add the same poll to this thread twice?

    I would be interested to know how many people have changed their point of view after almost half a season not being able to see our exciting team play without streaming or downloading a torrent after the game.

    Is it weird that all this has me hoping Royce sues Les?

    I know he won't win, just to troll him/anger him/waste his time.

    I hope he says I will play when everyone can watch the games. (maybe his family only has uVerse!)

    I see via my ESPN phone app that we've won 11 of the last 14 games and we're currently 6 games over .500?

    Man, sounds like most of us are missing a really fun season. At least they've looked good on the 2 games I've been able to watch on my TV this year.

    when I was in Houston for 9 days, I had to convince my friend to somehow pay attention to the team regardless of his anger with the cable tv situation.
    I lucked out- got to see a home game vs Memphis in person, national game vs. Bulls, and I figured a way to mask my league pass broadband account for the Wolves game.

    he called me thanking me, reporting back that he likes our team this year. and this was during one of our recent losses- in December.

    I want the fans to have the access, but you can still tune in on the radio and get the fuzzy feeling when Craig Ackerman makes the call of the year...

    I get all my Rockets updates from a friend that lives in Los Angeles. Today he wrote me to tell me Harden might break a Moses Malone record. How neat for Rockets fans that don't live in Houston.

    I admit it puts us in an awkward position.

    and as a Time Warner Cable subscriber as well as League Pass Broadband subscriber, I am an out of market Rockets fan in LA who gets access to more Lakers and Rockets games than LA residents or Houston residents combined! (LA residents are dealing with the exact same situation with the new Time Warner Sports Network)

    but I am imploring you Batman- tune in to the radio and pretend Ackerman is still backing up Jim and Gene and that they are just taking a really long bathroom break.

    first row sports, whatever it takes. follow your lifelong passion of being a Rockets fan!
