    Thanks...
    Now I just have to convince a friend to join me so that I don't have to go by myself.
    Any Clutchfans in Champaign, IL?

    As much as I dislike it, NBATV needs to give people SOME reason and some value to their channel. They will be doing this Tues, Wed, Thur throughout the 1st round I think. We are just the first runners up for it.

    I remember them playing 1st round playoff games last year but the difference is I don't remember them playing two at the same time that is my main gripe. Why can't we go early like four or five pm? I don't think they should air two playoff games at the same time for real Bball fans who try to watch as many as they can. Now I'll have to skip out on seeing the Jazz get whooped again :(

    NBAtv has always been worth the price of 24 hour continuous coverage.

    times like now is when it really pays off.

    If that were true, then we wouldnt be on nbatv, and we would have more national games overrall. I think the league has separate deals with China to broadcast the games over there. Domestically, Yao isn't a very big draw.

    The money Yao generates is probably more so from outside the U.S. So whether he is on nationally or NBATV doesn't matter in that respect.

    This gives refs one more reason to make calls in Portland's favor. Refs tend to control the game more when less people are viwing it no TV.

    The Spurs-Mavs and Orlando-Philly series also have a game each that have been NBATVed. The good thing for us is, both home games in Houston are either on ESPN or TNT. I'm sure they'll be plenty of streams for this game.

    I need help with my situation:

    I am using a Slingbox to watch the program from here in College Station. Will my Direct TV black out NBATV and leave me station 20 or will it leave me both?

    I know the safe bet is station 20, but I have once chance to get it right and don't want to set it to record one and have it record a blue screen.
