    I'm getting really sick of watching online feeds the picture quality is horrible. I suppose its better than not watching at all but listening to the opposing teams broadcast team night in and night out can be pretty infuriating

    Can I file suit against Comcast for making me use streams that are definitely polluting my computer's hard drive??

    ESPN games aren't blacked-out, I don't believe. Only NBATv.

    What I don't understand is why I could watch the Bulls/Cavs last night. What's the rule with WGN?

    They changed the blackout rules way back. All national TV coverage will not be blacked out, except on NBA.TV.

    Curious... if enough sports fans signed up for Comcast, only to cancel as soon as the season was over... would that send a message to Comcast, U-Verse, and Direct TV?

    For those that care to know,

    If the Rockets make the playoffs and their games are picked up by TNT and ESPN or ABC, then the games will not be blacked out.

    If their playoff games are picked up by NBA TV, then they would be blacked out. Because that means playoff games aired on NBA TV were not picked up by the other networks listed above.
