    Is there a way to watch LPBB rockets games when I am in Houston?

    Sorry if this has already been covered somewhere.

    This has been discussed and solution is friend of yours from some other city to buy it for you, because they do the blackouts on the billing address, not the IP. Simple as that :)

    You're sure of this? I bought it last year and was able to watch rockets games when I was out of town, but not when I was in town, which you seem to indicate that the blackouts were IP based.

    If it's ip based, something like a proxy (VPN) sounds like you're only way.

    it has nothing to do with billing address.

    last year, while I was traveling through Dallas, the Rockets and the Mavs were playing. my account is linked to a LA billing address. The Rockets are one of my 7 "Choice" teams.

    the game was most definitely blacked out of Broadband for me in the Dallas area.

    I have seen countless proxy recommendations, but never have I seen someone say that it has actually worked for them.
