i got 2 hours to figure this out. I tried to get all the info i need in the garm but i need more attention, and faster answers. As most austin fans should know by now Time warner has blacked out NBA TV for tonights game. It has also blacked out any league pass channel it could be on. Other options are dish and direct. I called dish and they said it should be on channel 402. i called a buddy and he said you have to subscribe to get it. I hear it will be on direct tv on like 601 i believe. is direct tv a sure bet. do you need to subscribe to that channel if you are customer. HOW DO I WATCH THE GAME TONIGHT. i've been on the computer and phone calling dish, tw, and friends with both trying to figure this out. I feel like a herlihy boy, PLEASE, let me watch the game at your house, I won't disturb you, the game needs watchin, come-on, Let me watch the game at your house. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, he's a good boy, he just wants to watch the game at your house, is that too much to ask.
if anybody lets me come over then please inform me through withmustard@hotmail.com. thanks guys. I can't miss this game
Dang, I've felt like you for the past previous games before the Miami game. It feels horrible not watching Rocketball, and this adjusting period, it just isn't working.
last resolve: go to google type "tvu player", download it. an internet tv software. then tune in channel nbatv or cctv5.
LOL. Omg I love the Herilhy boy reference. Sorry, I'm not in Austin. But if worst comes to worst, get on the internets and use a streaming program to watch it online. And if you don't have high speed, go to some coffee shop where they offer high speed for free. It's better than not watching at all.
withmustard, I know exactly how you feel... been there last week when there was a storm that blacked out DirecTV.
Why is it blacked out? NBA TV is a national channel.....it is not league pass........it is like being on TNT.... This makes no sense. DD
That was my thought. Yet it says blacked out on NBATV. And I don't see it anywhere else. God, I hate San Antonio.
The game is IN Houston.....there is no way it should be blacked out.....I am on the phone with Time Warner now..... This is TERRIBLE, the game is IN HOUSTON !! Why would it be blacked out? Last year the Spurs played the Rockets IN HOUSTON.....and it was on NBA TV ...no blackout.... Heck, I can't even get it on NBA league pass DD
You're right. This makes no sense! I'm paying for everything known to man on cable so I don't have this problem. WTF!
let us know if u find anything out. I get too angry talking to idiots who have no clue when I ask them something about the programming at time warner.
If you can bear with listening Chinese, you can watch on CCTV5. You can mute the sound if you want. I am watching it now. Go to http://www.654123.com/p2p/cctv5.htm and download the plugin and refresh.
Its probably just a mistake. They arent showing the game on any local channel in Austin, therefore, blackout restrictions DO NOT APPLY. You aren't even in either SA or Houston. Remember the first game at Toyota Center against the Nuggets. It was supposed to be on TNT but they blacked it out. They later got it right but they thought it was being shown locally so had to black it out. Some excuse like that. Just call TW and tell them there is no other means of watching it..
Hey withmustard, I live in San Marcos. We get the Spurs games on basic cable down here. If you were desperate and really wanted to watch the game you could make the drive down here and watch it at the bars. That's what I'm doing. Good luck in the hunt.
maybe you're right... i have TWC and on the guide is says "blackout" from 7:30-10:00pm. we all know the game time is 7:00pm, not 7:30pm. guess we'll just have to tune in and see.
