    Well, because the Spurs suck so bad this year, the Rockets game will be blacked out here in Austin.

    Usually, it is picked up by a local channel or Fox SW, but tonight...nope.

    Dang. I hope I can get it on the broadband....

    It damn well better be on NBA broadband! I've noticed a lot of games are blacked out on that. If the game has already been blacked out in Austin would that mean that it def won't be aired via broadband? Let me know DD.

    Usually it is on FoxSW, but tonight they are showing the UTSA game versus OK State.

    And now my broadband account has been screwed up....I emailed them the details, faxed them and mailed them in.

    Still not active.

    This happens every year, where the free subscription expires and I have to wait for them to activate it.

    Which is why I sent in the info early....but, every year...they screw it up.

    Bummerville brother man. I had an issue with mine the other day. It would only load to 98 percent. I frantically clicked refresh but to no avail. Its worked ever since though. At least there's usually a link somewhere on this forum come game time.

    Random, but if anyone checks this thread you'll be rewarded with an Aaron Brooks mix. AARON BROOKS - HERO Ahh, like finding a secret decoder ring at the bottom of the Lucky Charms.

    Man that mix gives me chills! He just puts so much pressure on opposing defenses. I don't even sweat not have Rudy Fernandez, who is def sick, because we have Aaron F*ing Brooks!

    You gotta go through a proxy to get NBA Broadband working w/o blackouts.

    That is not the issue, the issue is they have not activated my account.....even though I emailed them the info, faxed it to them and MAILED it in.

    So, as of right now, I can't even view archived games.....and yes...I am on them like stink on crap.

    O ok, I guess you could always use Sopcast or something until you get it working. Here's the channel list for tonight.

    Question. I just looked on the league pass channels and it lists it on channel 912 on Timewarner Austin. Will this also be blacked out, or are you saying its just not being carried on local channels?

    Now how exactly does one go through a proxy? Internet inept over here, but if it'll tune me in to more Rocket Games then I'm down.

    You know what....you are right, our kids are going to Grandpa's house tonight and the wifey and I are going to San Antonio to watch the whuppin in person.

    Of course we are going to stop in San Marcos (our old college town) and get dinner first.

    Great suggestion...

    Yes, but they have cocked up my broadband, and I can't access it until they fix it.

    So, I am just going to go to the game.

    I moved that to a new thread to see if any other clutch fans are going....figured they might have missed this one, and would love to meet more Clutchfans.
