    I was pissed and it's not Direct TVs fault. Unbelievable. They have never done that before. Broadband as well. Apparently there making so much money they don't need mine. It would take me an hour flight just to get to Houston and go see the games. Have had league pass every year for almost 12+ years and had to cancell my subscription tonight. I don't know if Comcast owns the games, but would like to find out.

    I'm in Tyler, TX (which should really be Mavs territory) and both games have been blacked-out on my DirecTV NBA League Pass.. This really ticks me off. What's the deal??? You pay for this and then you have to resort to trying to watch internet feeds. Why?? It's a load of bull. :mad:

    Looks like tonight's game isn't on LP in austin... it's not on the teamhd channels (911-920). does it have anything to do with the game being on nba tv?

    anyone else having this problem?

    dont have timewarner nba lp, so dont know what the issue is, but i have directv, dont sign up to the nba lp, and for some reason all of the games have been shown aside from the first 2 games of the season, dont know if its something new, or just a glitch, but ive been watching all the rockets games on dtv, prett nice, seeing how its not our local team.. you can also listen to the games on am 1240 , good luck!

    it used to be that if your zip code is less than 150 miles away from the team's home then you are blacked out. I am not sure about this year's rules.

    You may get a very wrong zip code if you are on mobile internet (like 1100 miles off from my phone). For broadband the IP is pretty accurate -that is, less than 25 miles off for my location.
