    well, if you have iNDEMAND digital cable NBA TV has gone to crap.

    You see, I was expecting to watch the Lakers-Heat game, a game being shown on the NBA-TV channel (not League Pass, so any person who had this channel can watch this.), but if you have digital cable, NBA TV has been taken off and replaced with what is known as the NBA LEAGUE PASS PREVIEW CHANNEL. Five minutes of the same stuff repeated over and over saying why it is cool to get league pass.

    I found out that the real NBA TV channel is still active because DTV subscribers are still getting it.

    so, for you digital cable iN DEMAND subscribers, you better hope the Rockets are NEVER shown on the NBA TV channel, or you will not be seeing the game.

    Fortunately Aussies in austin shows the DTV feeds, so if any Rockets games are shown on NBA TV. I'll be over there for those games.

    Please complain to them over the phone. Raise a stink. This lame feed can't have been meant to take the place of NBA TV. Then again, this is Time Warner we're talking about here.

    Oh, crap. :mad: :mad:

    That means goodbye to the NBA Greatest Games and the game updates and highlight recaps I got used to. This may be the last straw which gets me away from cable and to the dish. Of course, sounds like NBA may have gotten greedy as well. So they may deserve some wrath too.

    Thanks for the link, JB. We'll see what transpires over the next week, but it doesn't sound good after reading that.

    I'm not too pleased about this either. I used to watch it in the morning while I was eating breakfast. Now the game recaps are crap, you see one to three plays, then you get the score of the game. I'm going to really miss getting to watch the classic games.

    I dare someone to ask for credit. I want to do it myself. When I ordered League Pass in November, I was under the impression that I would receive NBA TV. Now that I no longer receive NBA TV through no fault of mine, am I responsible to pay when a game I want to see is not available?
