How much does League Pass cost for Android? I'm thinking about hooking my tablet up to my TV to watch it.
What do you mean by "Flashing"? I personally run my VPN via DD-WRT on my Buffalo Airstation so the entire network is running via the VPN. This is how I can trick the xbox 360 and such to work with league pass and not black out Houston games.
Yeah, I did this most of last season & did well. The problem with this is if you're busy like me, it's both helpful & detrimental. Helpful because like DVR, you can watch it later, but detrimental if you accidentally see the score (NBA texts the score to your phone) or you don't get it watch it until a few days later because you're busy & now you're 2-3 games behind! I need to upgrade my NAS hdds so I can get like 12TB! I've got like 2TB free now.
I understand you annoyance with streaming from you laptop but why change your email. You should not be using your internet provider's email, they usually suck and are temporary. Switch to a real service like gmail or outlook.com
Not sure if this has been posted, I have dish netowork but entouch is available in the area. Not interested in keeping En Touch as my provider however I will subscribe to the service (Enhanced package with CSN channel 473) and go month to month during the season and place a $5 monthly hold on my dish network account. Once the season is over I'll cancel the service and there is no penalty. At least that's what the rep told me.
Is this possible with some free VPN Client services such as OPENVPN? Would OPENVPN for instance allow for me (in the Houston area) to watch games via computer on HD?
I believe it lets you have around 4-5 people on at the same time without kicking you off. Once you go over, it'll say you have too many logins and you'll be forced to restart the window.
You can also use spotflux. It works for macs (and older ones at that). I own NBA league pass and use that to launch the NBALP broadband service through spotflux. Didn't have 1 problem with that last season.
Just out of curiosity, when you subscribe to LP on broadband, it's the same price as paying for it on cable correct? However, on broadband, it is streaming so my question is how is the quality on broadband and more importantly does the streaming get "choppy" because it's relying on the connection?
It depends on your internet connection etc, but it actually streams very high quality video. They buffer the video accordingly as well to provide higher quality streaming so you may be a few seconds behind live tv but its a solid viewing experience. I was very pleasantly surprised the first time I saw it at it has improved a few times in the past few years which is nice. There is also some software you can download if its real choppy called octoshape. The media player they use is flash based and it supposedly updates octoshape automatically in the background but it didnt update it on my platform so I had to do it manually and that helped fix any residual choppyness. As far as I know the you might be able to buy ONLY the NBALPBB package which would be cheaper than the tv subscription service. With the tv package the LPBB comes free.
Thanks for answering my question. So if I subscribe to LP Broadband, I just have to have SPOTFLUX or OPENVPN (that's what I have on my laptop) turned on and I can watch Rockets games in the Houston area unblocked correct?
Also, there's an app called CCleaner (I believe) that you should always run before logging into NBALP-BB. I know that the whole thing didn't work for a lot of people without doing that step first. Scionxa (I think that's his handle) posted really good info on this whole process in the old CSN thread that was stickied.
Free VPN services should work. It's helpful if you can choose where it looks like you're coming from. One of them I used would connect through California so some games against those teams would still be blacked out. Also, you only need to be connected to VPN to load the game, once it's streaming you can disconnect from the VPN. That can be helpful if the VPN isn't fast enough or if they limit how much bandwidth you can use.
