Fun! Had a great pic, of course it was a little pixelated, Bill Clyde and Bull and the NBA TV guys Will watch streaming every game.
wow...they won't even let you watch the freaking postgame/highlights show! Crazy...I just wanted to see what the national guys were saying. Oh well, back to 639
That's weird, I have Direct and it un-blackedout as soon as the final horn sounded. I assume you are talking about NBAtv?
So I tried to cancel with Directv last week and the rep told me it would be $20 for each month I was still under contract. It would be around $240. He knew he had me, so he didn't offer me anything. He told me about the Directv promise and to get the latest news about any updates on their website. It's been one year and still no updates. I should have canceled during that whole Viacom debacle when I had the chance, but I really thought they would have worked it out. CSN Houston Update We continue to work with both the Rockets and Astros who own CSN Houston to make it available to our customers for the 2012-13 NBA and upcoming 2013 MLB season next spring. DIRECTV strives to provide all of our customers an unparalleled TV experience at the most reasonable value, and while the costs of sports networks like this one continue to rise, we remain committed to servicing fans and non-fans alike. http://www.directvpromise.com/csn-houston/
Wow. Move to another complex? A Rockets fan should move so that he can change cable providers so Les can have more money? He should consider moving? Wow. You can see from my signature that I've been a pretty obsessive fan for a pretty long while. But I won't change providers on principle. I don't believe it's reasonable for a local sports team fan to have to change cable providers to watch the games in the city in which they're played. But moving house to change providers to get the games that are played in downtown Houston? So Les can have more money? Anybody that does that is 10 times the fan (and 100 times the sap) that I am. I'm following this season via ESPN, TNT, and yahoo sports box scores. It gets a lot easier not to care so much about the team and the games when it's so clear that the team's owner doesn't care about the fans.
Refuse to be a pawn, be your own free market capitalist and get the Rockets now and for free. (I do have to close about 20 proxy blocked pop-unders after the game)
My decision to stay with Dish and not switch to Comcast has less to do with me raging against the system and more to do with me just really liking my service with Dish. I just don't want to switch. Bottom line is this: I will care about the Rockets as much as the Rockets want me to care about them. By not making their games available to me (and more than half of their fanbase), that's telling me how much they care about me caring. I'm no marketing expert....and perhaps some of the more business-savvy people here can help me out with this.....but it seems to me that if you want people to buy into your product, you should actually make it available for them to buy into. That seems pretty basic. It's amazing to me that the higher-ups in the Rockets organization don't seem to understand this.
I forked over the money for League Pass, use a proxy to watch the games and all that. I enjoy watching them...the ones I can. I can't watch if it's on NBAtv, which will be blackedout in Houston...
Follow up to my last posts... wake up this morning to watch the recording of the late night replay, no problems, then, at the very beginning of the game the scores bar pops up on the bottom of the screen and before i have a chance to change my screen aspect ratio, the FIRST score they show is the Rockets Lakers, ruining the suspense and excitement of the game....... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKK NBA TV et al.
Someone needs to take the lead and get a massive group together to pressure the parties involved to cut a deal. Get the mayor and aldermans of Houston involved. This is bullsh.it. Let's stop being passive and fu.ck **** up to get what we want.
How am I a troll? I am merely responding to a poster that thinks folks should band together and do something.
Perhaps because he lives in Wisconsin and won't matter to those you suggests he contact: Houston politicians, The Rockets, Comcast. It was a good original retort, but then you got rebutted, and decided to dig deeper into the hole that you fell in instead of agreeing that being in Wisconsin makes him a bad candidate for this position.
