SCHN+ (Space City Home Network)

This is a good deal. No Roku app though. Looks like it's available on Fire TV, iOS, Apple TV (device) and Android.

Does anyone who has the app know if you can Cast the stream to smart TVs?

 

I'll probably try it out for tonight's game... I'll let you know if it can be streamed cuz I have a Samsung tv....

UPDATE

Just got it, you can stream to chromecast.....

 

Question, it appears you cannot replay games without “connecting TV provider.”

I bought the app so I wouldn’t need to have a Fubo/DirectTV etc. BS service.

Also you can’t restart a live game from the beginning.

Can anyone confirm that you can’t replay or restart if you just have the app?

Seems ridiculous to pay $20/month and not have those features.

 

I mentioned this in the thread when it first launched:

I do know you do not have access to games after they're over (dvr style).

I'm not even sure you can pause/rewind (I remember when Apple first started with their baseball coverage you couldn't, which was ridiculous, but they fixed that not long after)

The more subscribers flood them with complaints the faster that might get fixed?

There's a large thread about this in GARM.

There is no DVR/VOD feature from what I recall.
Last I thought I heard they replay games at some point, but you can't just go watch a game whenever you want, which sucks because I like to watch games later at night sometimes.

Their website has answers to some of the other stuff, like : no, you can't pause, rewind, restart any live broadcast.

 

no geo blackouts?

 

$20/month sounds a little high with it just being Rockets and Astros games. Will it also cover the playoffs?

It does not cover any national tv games, regular season or playoffs.

 

How do you normally watch, because compared to every other legal method it's significantly cheaper.

 

Am I mis-remembering or weren't there a few playoff games on both the local network and national?

 

Might want to see a doctor

 

Not a local, so I do not know and therefore I cannot say. Good question.

 

Correct, due to so many games in the first few playoff games are broadcast by the local network, and often also nationally.

Here’s Game 2 last year … scroll down to Where to Watch section listing TNT plus Hou and gsw RSNs

With the new streaming contracts, they might not do this this year.
Would be a good question to ask Vanessa, if I ever meet her.
