    he's talking about the drag menu that asks for your provider and account #, before we couldn't even get that far.

    Not me. I was going to at worst fax over a copy of my TWC invoice showing that I paid for this NBA League Pass (cant figure out why TWC has no clue about this broadband feature as a benefit to something they are selling). Seems like even the simple task of faxing over a document TO NBALP folks is becoming a circus for DaDakota so maybe I will have to mail it to that address.

    If I can log in successfully before next few weeks I will be pleasantly shocked with how things are progressing:)

    This is a total bs move by NBA. I dont care if 3rd party is in charge on this live streaming service, it is NBA's responsibility to get this done before the season starts. They had good 2 - 3 weeks of preseason to test this system! I am sure there are thounsands of people out there who purchased LP because of the broadband service. They are not returning Emails, nor accepting FAX.

    But once again.. what can we do against such a giant corp?

    Same thing with the Dish Network. I called them 3 times last night and their responses were 0) they don't know anything about the LP broadband bonus feature, 1) the LP broadband is not a product/service they offer (well duh, who say they do), and 2) they have no obligation to provide LP subscribers' acct info to NBA.

    So if NBA is a symmetrical operational mode, i.e., "we are not going to verify your acct since your cable/satellite company has not sent us your info", then we viewers are permanently stuck in "the other party needs to do it first" corporate quagmire.

    Incompetent morons.

    My feeling exactly.

    Man, I wish I could afford LP.

    Actually, I wish I could afford just regular cable.

    I wish I could afford a tv!!

    Yeah thats fine with me. That is the only way I would be able to see the games. PPstream and all those just arent that reliable.

    Am I the only one getting it? Wow.

    I was watching yesterday at wok live game of crispy quality. Wow.

    Then I went home, out of curiosity, I tried re-regiestered my account after clearing out the cookie, what did I know, It would not authenticate the account which it verified in the morning. :D NBA.com sucks.

    I am still able to watch it at wok though, and that's all I care. :D
