    I just moved here 7 months ago and the only game on TV this week is game 1! Does anyone know anywhere I can watch the rest of the series online?! I'm desperate!

    I'm hoping for some Bittorrent action, but live games would be so much better.

    Try out P2P Streaming. Generally the streams are from Asia, so you will get Asian commentary.

    Do a search on google for "Tvants" . The websites with guides and info are good places to start.

    Good luck :)

    I think the game might be on Foxtel if you have it on ESPN.

    OK, first you need broadband. Have they got it down there? :p

    Then, go here: http://myp2p.eu/NBA.htm

    There are links to download some of the p2p programs on the left of that page. We here on clutch recommend sopcast as the most reliable one. But you could try the others on there too. Good luck, man.

    Go ROX!

    Actually I just saw it and it is confirmed they are showing game 1. If anyone lives in the Perth area and can't watch I don't mind hosting something.

    Where abouts in Perth are you? I'm in Atwell

    I usually use streamtvnow, the quality may not be as good but you can see it all during the season and playoffs.

    Thank god fox are showing the first game though :D

    I am living in Churchlands. I have tried watching stream but don't have a fast enough connection. I really am amazed how many Rockets fans live in Australia.

    Hey im from sydney and i dont even know if there showing the first game. It says that espn is showing a live NBA playoff game at 12.30pm but it doesnt say which game and by my calculations Houstons game is on at 1130am. :confused: :confused: :confused:

    I think it is the game though because its then latest game.

    And its soooooo bad coz im now capped and cant watch the live games. Ive been on school holidays and have used my limit on other rockets games :(

    plus, I know of at least two other Aussie Rockets fans that are not asian

    I know the guy was figuring that they are Rockets fans cause of Yao, but the 94 Finals were shown Down Unda and form what I understand that was when alot of Aussies were introduced to the greatness that is Dream.
