    Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has any links/references on places to watch the Rockets online for those of us not living in Houston. I previously watched them on justin.tv but I heard the nba had cracked down on them.




    (And before anyone says, why not buy NBA league pass, I did last year and I was extremely disappointed in that piece of crap they call a product. The quality sucked, video lagged (on a T3 connection mind you), and the big games I would sit down to watch would crash half the time. Of course, I was not reimbursed for the games that weren't aired because they were available for later viewing...who would want to watch a game like that after already knowing the outcome....)

    Anyways this thread isn't to bash league pass but to find places to watch the game online...

    There is almost always a link in the game thread just before the game starts.

    I have never really had a problem between using Channelsurfing.net and atdhe.net.

    Well,

    On game day someone will usually post a link for the game.... Now it may not have a great reception .. But hey it's free..

    I have League Pass Online and beggers can't be choosy or b****ie****

    The other option is a Sports bar in your city.

    Good Luck...

    I live in toronto

    I think i caught every game last season from

    atdhe.net

    Links might get shut down, but new ones always pop up

    Cant guarantee quality though, Very little HD ones, some are really bad, but better than nothing

    The most annoying thing about League Pass is during the trial period, seemed like every time a game I wanted to watch was on, it was blocked due to blackout restrictions. I'm, like, WTF?? Is this the 1990's? Fix your stupid dinosaur contracts you dumbasses.

    And then you can't even watch the archives of blacked-out games. WTH is the justification for that? Totally useless.

    If you or anyone else is wanting to watch the streams in higher quality, I have a league pass broadband account that came with my League Pass T.V. account that I will never use.

    If interested, I would be willing to sell the account for $50, nba.com asks $120 + tax for the same exact thing and you would be the sole owner/user of the broadband account. You can reach me at Ngadban389@gmail.com

    Depends night to night. Preseason, realsportz had some really nice quality, but last few games, I've been sticking to atdhe. Most times realsportz has more than one stream, so if one goes down, others are avail. for backup. atdhe, sometimes.

    it's a hit or miss really, I just click on one and if the quality is ok and the stream doesn't lag I'll stick to it. If not, it should provide multiple feeds so just keep finding different ones.

    I'm glad someone started a thread about this, because I've had a question for a while.

    I have AT&T U-Verse, and channel 755 is Fox Sports Southwest-Houston. I may not be in Houston, but I am in the Southwest. Why are all Rockets games blacked out in San Antonio? They don't even show something else instead, it's just empty air time. What sense does that make?

    Do they black out the re-airings of the game too?

    I just don't get it.

    hmmm... I'm thinkin about it. I've got some software that allows me to stream video captures, so maybe I can use it to set up a clutchfans exclusive, high quality stream. I'm going to have to do some tests before putting down the money though.

    Anyone wanna volunteer to help me test?

    Actually, first of all, does anyone know which of these offers the highest quality streams:

    Stickam.com (Configuration)
    Justin.tv (Configuration)
    Ustream.tv (Configuration)
    Operator11.com (Configuration)

    I have a question concerning League Pass Broadband.

    My full screen, along with the 2nd biggest screen don't work (the only two that work are the small ones). Does anyone know how to fix this?
