It's so freaking awesome that the entire country gets to watch the OKC game on national TV, except for the fans in ****ing Houston. I cannot put into words my hatred of Comcast. Just pure sickening anger.
I have comcast too, and I LOVE their Rockets coverage. Calvin Murphy is still HALARIOUS & insightful at the same time lol
I agree, it is infuriating that the NBAtv games are blacked out especially for those of us who can not get Comcast.
Great Site for streaming games Http://www.wiziwig.tv I use lag10 link, most consistent feed all season
Dealing with Comcast is a b**** if you ever need to, but the CSN product as awesome. Love it. Broadcast quality and production value has never been close to this good with Fox Sports or UPN (lulz). I get y'all are all butt hurt but the actual CSN channel is glorious.
Im a loyal fan through and through and it really pisses me off that im only able to watch the natl tv games. Its pointless to say the NBAtv games are natl tv games because if you live in Houston area its blacked out. I am no less of a fan though, I agree with the one guy who said he feels like more of a fan because of the lengths he goes to watch the games. But I really wish this thing would get worked out we are going on 2 years in a row now, our team is at the top of their game and we aren't able to seem them play some of the best teams in the NBA or any other games for that matter. I would love to pay my tv provider and extra 7-10 dollars a month to have CSN, so I could watch the game, just give me the dang option if that's what needs to be done. Im sure many other people would pay also. I hope we get to watch them next season. But who knows we might end up like Portland fans they have been dealing with this samething for last 4 or 5 years.. GO ROCKETS!!!!
Personally, no. However, I am a basketball fanatic. I used to watch several games a night, this year I have not even watched every Rockets game. I still read about each one. My wife, on the other hand, used to make posters at every game when we had season tickets. Now, she doesn't even know who is on the team. A lot of people I know are the same way, and most blame Comcast. TLDR: Comcast is definitely affecting the fan base negatively.
I live in Indiana so while I think the saga is unprofessional, it means absolutely nothing to me as far as viewing goes.
Yeah I live in the Beaumont area also and it is really frustrating.....Dont know any Bars, Restaurants, etc. around here that have the games on CSN. Know of any?
League Pass in Austin.. BWW when I'm in Katy. Couldn't not watch the Rockets for any extended period of time.
I don't think it is possible because Comcast is not available here for now. I am not sure how long the Comcast / Time Warner merger will take to go through but when and if it does, we will have access to CSN in our area. I got an e-mail from Time Warner, who I get my internet from, the other day saying they expect the merger to be finished by the end of 2014. We can just keep our fingers crossed that the CSN-H fiasco is resolved as quickly as possible while waiting on the Comcast / Time Warner merger to go through. I personally have Direct TV, which I plan to keep, however I will pay for the most basic package through Comcast, assuming the merger happens, that will get me CSN-H in my home during basketball season.
I have Time Warner as well so I'm in the same boat as you....guess its back to first row sports for me
I wish Comcast was a person so I could torture his family to death. Well, ok, maybe I wouldn't. But **** Comcast!
I'm in the hill country 100 miles sw of Austin, have LP & can watch them on national tv. So I don't understand why you can't do the same. What pi$$ed me off was that I was getting very few Rockets feeds. After 30 games & 3 calls, I was informed that LP was part of Directv & since they didn't have contract with csn, LP couldn't show any Rockets feeds. I called twice after that to cancel my LP subscription for next year, but funny thing their computers were down & they couldn't process my cancellation! However, another funny thing, since we've become the hottest team in the NBA, I getting the Rockets feed ~ 75% of the time. :grin: Sorry about the rant. No I'm not less of a Rockets fan. Just have to put up with fewer Rockets feeds
