    Easiest way I think is, connecting your laptop via HDMI cable to your TV.

    Use your wireless mouse from your coach, and you're good to go to control heaven. OR just start playin it, and then just go to your coach and enjoy if you don't have a wireless mouse for your laptop.

    Do you have an HDMI port on your laptop? I'm assuming you have an HDTV, so your TV should have an HDMI port!

    Do you know how to do this?

    Hahaha, thank you man! :grin:

    Of course man. I hope it stays too. I've never had cable my entire life, but always had great internet speeds. So I really hope BallStreams stays alive!

    LOOOOL.. so in order for me to get more rep points, it has to get shut down? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, decisions decisions.. ;)

    This. I actually have my desktop connected with the VGA cable (most TVs have a VGA port too).

    If you use one of these wireless keyboard/mouse combos like I do then you are GOLDEN. Best remote ever.

    I have 12mbps internet and a new laptop but when i watch live its slow and laggy. Maybe its because its a cheap school laptop. I don't understand hopefully it gets better. Plus mobile doesn't work at all for me. Need flash, goto download flash i need something else that my phone doesn't support. Wtf...

    • If you're watching on your phone, or tablet, or iPad etc.. go to http://m.ballstreams.com/ (it's the mobile site). It shouldn't ask you to download any flash software. That's really weird.
    • Yeah, if it's choppy with 12MBPS, it's definitely your school laptop with crappy specs... ;)

    I have same issue with old laptop. notice that their HD video is 60fps which use very hi CPU usage.

    notice that m.ballstreams.com is for Apple device.
    If you use andriod, download their andriod app and free video player. No flash needed.

    It does, especially with a wired connection. Set adaptive bit rate to high on the ball streams channel it gets a little blurry.

    I convinced my coworker to get it. That resolution on the ipad was amazing. He was using the hospitals wifi so it wasn't laggy. I have AT&T Internet and it sucks.

    I still haven't bought it but I'm pretty sure it's going to suck with my wifi. He was telling me the fee was called a donation.lol

    Roommate and I were thinking of buying this. We are just hesitant because what's the guarantee that all 82 games will be shown with no hassle?

    To the subscribers, what do you guys think of the experience?

    No guarantee, though the site does have a refund policy. All I can say is that thier setup works, the quality is nearly perfect, and describing thier price as a bargain would be an understatement.

    I have been impressed with the two live games I've seen, with uverse 18mbps connection.

    I just plugged an HDMI cable from my laptop to the tv, quality is great, ready for tonight's game!

    Anyone doing the live stream with an Xbox 360? I have a laptop with HDMI, but I'd rather not have to hook it up each time I want to watch a game if it can be avoided. Thanks.

    There is no guarantee that they will be around the entire season. I'm so desperate I don't care. I missed out the entire last season.
    As for the quality, I never though it could be this good. I'm so happy with it. They make it easy. It looks good. They have the entire season, including summer league, on archive. They have DVR. Just basically everything I could wish for.

    No guarantee, but their NBA League pass won't **** up either.

    XBox works great. The very first time you do it, though, you'll need to set up some server software on your computer to stream to the XBox. Instructions are on the site. I'd set aside about 30 minutes to get everything up and running.
