How to get Web access to Rox games?

I guess one way you could do it is to make friends with someone in the US that has access to the games, and who owns a tuner card in their PC and uses orb.com.

I don't think NBA streams like the MLB online....which sucks.

 

Go to "http://www1.pplive.com/download.shtml". The CCTV-5 usually cover most of Rockets games.

 

They have english version of the site. Just look for CCTV-5. They usually show a lot of Rockets games live

 

pplive is the best I have seen...they have pretty high quality live broadcast, and its free.

 

Is there a Mac equivalent to PPLive?

 

Yes, pplive is your best bet. CCTV5 carries a lot of Rockets games during the regular season and a few other key matchup games. I don't think there's a Mac version of pplive.

 

I think one of my friends used pplive on his mac via virtualpc. You could probably do that assuming you have virtualpc on your mac.

 

Here's the english version of the pplive site:

My video connection isnt streaming smoothly. I know it might be my crappy internet connection. I was wondering if i could somehow put the video at a lower quality to make the stream smoother or any ideas on how to fix the problem. I have SBC DSL...

my pplive is not streaming smoothly.why is that?i also use dsl.

 

I'm in Arizona, and I've been looking for a way to get games here, too. Getting it on TV is out of the question since I only get certain cable channels and that's it. So, I was looking for a way to get the games online but haven't found anything yet. I don't really get that pplive thing... it's free and the Rockets games are on cct5???

 

CCTV5 is a chinese channel. and yes it's free

 

it wont be smooth for th first 10 minutes or so dpeending o your connection, it usually gets better after that. if not, then you're outta luck

so what do i do?thanks if you have any suggestions.do i need 2 upgrade the version?there's two cctv5 one with and without 800k.i dont know if you understand what iam saying.i tried the english pplive and the chinese pplive both had the same errors.is it because of my connection?

 

everything is in chinese how am i suppose to use this

 

Try upgrading your Windows Media Player. The 800k is faster, so you might need to use the other one if your connection isn't that great.

There's a "switch language" button. Unless you didn't go to the right website: http://www5.pplive.com/english/index.shtml

 

There's a CCTV-5(800K) channel in PPLive's list. Its quality is much better than the ordinary one.
