    Hello all,

    I have been a Rockets fan for 33 of my 34 years on this planet. I have recently moved to Seattle and would like to watch my beloved Rockets online. Does anyone know the best way to go about setting this up?

    Thanks for the help.

    P.S.

    Rockets are going all the way this year !

    If u have a family member or really close friend with Directv, that's the ez way. Ask them to let u put a receiver on their acct, pay the $5 per month for it and order the league pass for $200 and buy a dish off the net for $50. For 300, u can watch every rockets game for $4 a game.

    Or you can buy the slingbox. I think there is one for sale in the for sale forum. Get that and have a family member over here hook it up to their cable. With your internet over there, you can watch and control their cable.

    Or pay someone half of NBA League Pass price to use their account to watch the games online.

    I was in your shoes back in the years the Sonics kept on beating us. I was stuck in Tacoma. Best bet would be to keep an eye on the game threads because that's how I watched the preseason games. via sopast or justin.tv links

    Since I'm with Uverse, this is great news (if it's legit). I suppose they'll state the price soon enough. Long overdue.

    in these tough economic times, do any of y'all wanna share an online league pass subscription? No pricing available on the site yet but it should be less than the $169 for the TV league pass.......

    Can you tell me how to watch the games online with a league pass? I had one from dishnetwork last year. But I was never able to figure it out.

    has anyone actually tried to purchase the "new" league pass Broadband stand-alone package? I went to that link, and it did provide info, but I can't find anywhere to purchase it even when I log into All-Access...
