    Is there a way to watch the Rockets Live via Mobil App? If this needs to be moved please do so. I live in Corpus and a friend has Xfinity in Houston is there a way to download a App So I can watch the games Live or I have heard of the swingbox where you can watch Live TV on your mobil devices. Has anyone tried it?

    I think you can watch it using the Puffin Web Browser App.

    Python browser on iOS with atdhe is great.

    Problem with firstrowsports is the insanely high number of advertisements.

    If you have an android, install flash and you can watch streams like you could on PC

    I use the AdBlock extension on Chrome. It gets rid of the annoying flash crap and pop ups on firstrowsports.

    This.

    I nearly creamed myself when I got my first Android phone and was able to watch Rockets games via sites like FirstRow and theusagetv.org on my phone while chillin on my couch.

    God bless technology and piracy.

    Pretty sure Chrome extensions aren't supported on mobile.

    I've been watching on my built in browser on Android (Chrome doesn't support flash). It's like playing a video game trying to kill all the ads when I go to first row.

    But after checking this thread I decided revisit looking for better options. There is a separate Ad Block app you can install, but it only works on wifi unless you're rooted.

    And then there's the Android Firefox browser which has add-ons and AdBlock Plus is there. Plus it supports flash. I just tested it briefly and it works really well! I can't wait to really test it on game day.

    Isn't it like $40 or $50 a season on NBAgametime to just get the mobile subscription?

    that's like .50¢ a rockets game... and I think you get to pick 5 teams? So, a dime a game if you kept up with 5 teams.

    If you live in Houston, mostly likely all Rockets games will get blacked out, cuz NBA wants you to watch the games live.

    If you have a jailbroken iphone, you can get nba gametime subscription for free, and watch the rockets game live stream, as well as highlights and condensed games.

    you have to download the UK gametime app though, as the US one will blackout most games.
