    Okay, I haven’t posted in forever. I have been extremely busy with my chocolate business which has now turned into a full-fledged Foodtruck where we sell all kinds of desserts.

    Anyway, I’m out here in Midland, Texas and I really want to watch the Rockets this year. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always purchased league pass and gotten my Rockets fix that way but the past 3 years they have blacked me out. I’m 600 miles from H-town lol, why on earth would they black out Rockets games. I’m technically closer to okc but I could get those games if I wanted (I don’t).

    So how can I watch the Rockets this year?

    Go to the Woodrows and figure out how they get the games.

    All the nationally televised games (like TNT, ESPN) are blacked out no matter where you live … contractually, NBA league pass does not compete with them.

    Harden landed us a ton of them. But no more.

    Is that the reason? You only watched the big games?

    If you are blacked out of ALL games, that means you also get ATT Sportsnet Southwest — which is the whole point of the blackout.

    If you cant get the regional network for the Rockets in Midland (which seems correct), then I’d call the NBA support line and complain that somehow you’re being blacked out with no ability to see the regional broadcast.

    i dont know. But sounds like a technical glitch to me.

    I used hehe streams before but they are sadly no longer with us.

    Any comparable sites like them left? I'm fine with paying a fee to get good quality streams that are reliable, but league pass is expensive with flaws.

    FuboTV carries AT&T Sportsnet in Austin. Maybe see if they've got it in your lineup?
