    First, I apologize if this thread has already been created.. I could not find one, so here goes:

    So I have ad Dish Network for the last 5 years and never had this issue, but I have been trying to add League Pass and they are telling me it is not available as Dish is in contract negotiations with the NBA. I live in Dallas.. is anyone else having this problem??? What do I do??? I have to see the Rockets games!! Does the NBA sell an online version of league pass? Any advice or help someone can offer would be most appreciated.

    i just can't help to say it's wonderful life in USA. you can choose which game to be enjoyed. however, we have no choice, just watch the game which provided by the common TV. or listen the live via NBA.com :eek:

    It doesnt appear that you can get just that.. it comes with your NBA League Pass subscription as far as I can tell.. had looked into it last week. Thank you though.

    Let me know if you are able to get it. I talked to three different reps on Wednesday, Sunday and this morning. All said the same thing.

    I have spoken with them nearly everyday and they assure me it will be offered by the 28th, they keep saying they are trying to negotiate the absolute lowest price.

    Im sure it will all work out.

    I was going to start a new thread but I guess I can post this here.

    I was looking into ordering league pass and I just wanted to know how it works. There are ten stations allocated to it on my service provider. Is it that they just show the most poplar games for the night or are all the games broadcast? And are the games on national tv (tnt, espn, nbatv) also broadcast? TIA.

    every single game is broadcast, games on espn,abc,tnt, nba tv will be broadcast on those channels.

    the remaining games for the night will be broadcast on your nba league pass stations. at least with dish network you usually get 1-2 extra games in hd each night (hoping its more this year) and at least with dish network you get whatever feed (depending on who has a contract with the nba for league pass) for the game so you may see a road game where you have to watch the other teams feed. Though I've heard that on directv that have both feeds? i dont know if thats true or not.

    I'm on Dish Network as well & I've been searching the website several times to see if I can order it. I'll be switching in a heartbeat if they can't get me setup.

    I'm willing buy someone's Broadband LP account. I travel all over South America and will only be using it for Rockets games. Im willing to pay $60 on paypal or whatever other method we agree too.

    Please let me know.

    Thanks for the info. I was hoping that the espn, tnt games were also shown on league pass. I live in the caribbean and for some reason they group us with latin america so we don't get the us versions of espn and tnt. And the latin versions usually don't broadcast nba games. So I guess no tnt games for me this season. :(
