Some pretty basic responses to OP- A. We all feel your anger (& there is already threads dedicated to updates on the CSN debacle such as this http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=244524 ) B. Taxes for a stadium to be built 10 years ago has little to do with their current TV contract C. The Rockets do not employ Sales Reps at cable companies D. You should always get EVERYTHING in writing. Most cable providers will list the networks they televise on their websites. E. Understand Who Cable Companies are- Cable companies have systemic problems from the ground up that are not easily fixed. The biggest problem is customer service & the communication ability with their customers. I work for a company that has rejuvenated customer service & management development at companies like Lowes and Chick Fil A (who are a pain the in a$% to work with), but we have never been able to see any substantial increase in customer satisfaction with Time Warner and AT&T after several culture change initiatives from the top all the way down to the call center reps. I could write a novel based on what information we get back from detailed assessments, and my personal opinion but all I will say is that the entire industry is broke, and I personally don't see it getting any better as I am sure more monopolization and less connection to the human element of customer service will make matters worse in the long-run. So if you want to complain about cable companies that's fine but its falling on deft ears everywhere and anywhere you yell it. They know how awful they are, and even those who have tried to fix it have failed. If they've haven't stopped caring yet, they will soon enough. Cause in the end, there are fewer and fewer competitors out there, and the need just keeps on going up.
Harden's beard isn't real...he got the tape on fake beard..and added in some of his personal pubes to make it
Best thing to do if wanting to watch the Rockets is to tell your parents to get you ballstreams.com membership and for them to contact the NBA to get it....
I wish I were still able to be shocked by this level of civic, economic, grammatical, and legal ignorance.
I'm guessing the OP is from Texas(Houston area). I know some options around the blackouts on NBA LP, some use a proxy. If outside Houston, and able to see Houston play, I get LP here in NY from DirecTV. And the opener was CSN Houston broadcast vs Pelicans. Luckly we are on like 20+ times nationally, so you will see those games.
