    I stream as well...I go to this site and this is how I was able to meet and become friends with many people here on ClutchFans. We would all make some great jokes, have spirited discussions about the team during every game, and have a great time.

    Streams for both Astros and Rockets (I believe it was ItsMyFault's Rockets stream). Don't watch any other Houston sport/team.

    Comcast not available through my provider in East Texas. Rocket's games were available for years through Fox Sports SW. Really miss those broadcasts. Now I get the Dallas Mavs. Thanks Les for screwing your fans.

    If you're a Rockets fan you would get Comcast.

    It's either at the game live or stream that hoe when they're away. The links i came across last season were pretty bad quality but with time I could distinguish who was who by their body language lol. Yes very sad. I read a lot of bashing on here about Worrell, Clyde, and the Bull. Hearing oposing city commentors made me miss Houston's Tres Corny Amigos :(

    ......or stream/torrent/get ballstreams. Nobody here wants to pay for the crappy service of Comcast.

    Talk about yourself.

    When I moved, I got Comcast just because of the Rockets.

    According to the stats, I'm not alone.

    Speak for yourself. I'm not the only one who's had Comcast at multiple locations in and around Houston with no issues. Customer service is usually bad for any provider you choose, so Comcast isn't alone there. As for quality of service, Comcast cable has blown away AT&T Uverse in all but one or two tests* with every user I know. Know anyone else that can reliably get 25-40 mpbs down at any time of day on AT&T? I don't.

    *I did have one friend who had a Comcast cable modem with horrendously slow service. Even equipment changes didn't resolve the issue. It ended up being a problem on the Comcast side.

    I live in the Austin area and I pay the NBA to watch the Rocks on LP and they cut me off when they show the game on their OWN channel. That's seriously arrogant.:confused:

    I have always been a Rocks fan and always will. That said, the NBA and Mr. Alexander seems to be doing there best to make me a Spurs fan as it's on TV/Radio every game here. BOO!

    As someone who has Comcast, has never had to deal with their notorious customer service, gets solid internet speed and loves the CSN product, I'm pretty annoyed to keep hearing about the topic. Someone is alwayyyyys complaining. On the internet, on the radio, on TV, at work, at family events...

    Boo hoo.

    My life is good though. Suckers.

    I didn't see an option for apartment contract mandated tiny POS cable company. I get CSN and I don't give Comcast any money but I can only get a max 2.5 Mbps internet speed. I'll take it.
