    Wow first post:D

    Anyway guys I was wondering if I can get some help.
    I used to live close to Houston and got the rockets games on cable.

    But now I live in Austin. I was wondering if anyone knows how I would go about getting them on TV here.

    I dont have cable or a satelitte yet. Any help would be great thanks.

    And also if anyone knows how to get the games on radio on the internet also.

    Thanks alot everyone.

    P.S. Im new to this forum, but not to the Rockets.;)

    You could get Direct TV or Digital Cable and order NBA League Pass. They show every single NBA game. It costs about 150 a year for League Pass. Welcome to the board.

    league pass is the only way to get Rocks games. It cost about the same for both cable and directv.

    I got a directv advertisment at blockbuster the other night and it says that league pass will show UP to 40 games a week.

    So that wouldnt be all games of every NBA team would it.

    Even if it does that is expensive. They should let you pick which team you want. And charge a smaller fee.

    They show all of the games that aren't on national tv, or on one of your local stations, so they do show every Rockets game, except the ones on tnt, espn, tbs, and abc, but you will get those anyway, since Direct TV has all of those channels.

    Well I was thinking if I got regular cable maybe they would show the rockets games. But thinking that they probably show the Spurs.

    Do any of you guys know of anyone that lives in the Austin area and that person watches the games.

    Alot of us live in Austin. You are out of luck with Rocks games unless you buy league pass. If you want to go somewhere to see the games, you might check out Aussies. They are the most consistent about showing rocks games.

    It took me a couple of weeks to get an appointment for someone to come and hook it up, but I live in Philly. You could probably hook it all up yourself. Once you order league pass it you get it really fast, like within a few hours.

    Audio League Pass on NBA.com costs around 30 bucks a year, I think. If you don't want to buy it, they usually have like 1 free game a night.
