    Go to the game then! Even if it's in the nosebleeds.

    The last time it was on NBATV I turned it on just to see what it would do. The screen turned a menacing color of the darkest obsidian. Blood issued from seams of the cable box and ran down my tv stand. The hair on the back of my neck jumped to full attention when a slow knocking sound began echoing from my front door. Half paralyzed with fear, I managed to drag myself to the entry and crack open the door. There stood none other than Leslie Alexander draped in a long flowing black robe, carrying a long two handed scythe with a gnarled wooden handle and blood tarnished blade. Emboldened by the certainty of my impending demise, I croaked out a last line of defiance. "I just want to watch the Rockets! Is that too much to ask?" I pleaded. But Mr Alexander only groaned, "NEVER !!!!" Think I blacked out after that.

    bro, you should have added that the last thing you heard before it all went dark was Les' freakish cackle.

    I remember balkansport.info having a HD stream but it's so confusing to navigate on their forum to find the right steam.

    Not if you're in Houston. I live in Lufkin, 120 miles from Houston and have Dish. Of course no CSNH but also NBATV games are blacked out. I have NBALP and can't even watch the road games which makes no sense nor can I watch it on LP Broadband. Not even the replays...wth? Thank you NBA, Rockets, Les, and David Stern!

    Rockets could potentially get next week as fan night as well since its the clippers. Also because of the fact that it's one of the better games that night.

    Google "IP blocker" Install and turn on, then you should be able to.

    I live in Austin and right now its showing as "Audio" only to be available. I think since its on NBA TV you must either watch it on CSN in Houston or NBA TV everywhere else.

    no nbatv game is ever available on league pass broadband, regardless of location.

    and any nbatv broadcast would be blacked out in the two markets representing the teams playing.

    try the IP mask as mentioned above.

    "hotspot shield" worked for me when I was in H Town

    I meant that any time Rockets are on NBATV its blacked out in Lufkin even though its 120 miles from Houston. Combine that with no CSNH on Dish....Frustrating to pay $200 for LP and not even get to see a national broadcast of the team I've been watching on local tv since 1977...Seriously, I dont understand why the replays aren't available on Broadband so I'm reduced to watching some streaming crap from Poland. I downloaded the IP blocker like you mentioned and will try that tonight but at least I know i will get to see the game on drhtv.tv whatever the hell that is

    I don't think an IP blocker will help you in this case. NBATV games are blacked out everywhere so changing your location won't help.

    seriously messed up that NBATV games are blacked out on League Pass broadband, especially when it's based on fan votes
