    league pass is the best quality and it's kind of like a built in DVR, that is if it is anything like the summerleague pass was where you can watch archives of games. I tried channelsurfing.net which is free but you have to watch live and sometimes the games would be the wrong one, it was poor quality, and even a bit of a delay.

    Yeah, if you can afford NBALP, go for it. Beats a crappy feed anyday. I've seen a group of CF members share the cost in the classified at times.

    Be sure the membership is bought outside the Houston area, otherwise the rockets games will be blacked out.

    I usually use www.atdhe.net and they usually have all the game links posted. The quality isn't great but that is a route you can go for if you don't want to buy NBALP.

    Might look into NBALP. What is the monthly rate? And what do you mean about, "buying membership outside the houston area, otherwise the rockets games will be blacked out"?

    I see them pop up in the Classified or the Dish right before or around when season starts.

    This is where I defer to the members who actually bought NBALP, cause I've never bought one myself, but used a friend's membership. I think I've read around $100 for NBALP Broadband.

    I believe the Rockets home games or all the Rockets games are blacked out if the membership is bought in the Houston area. Someone correct me on this, my memory is hazy.

    Here is the official explanation from NBA.com:
    [rquoter]Blackouts take place when a game is televised locally in your area via a regional sports network or an over-the-air station. If a game is blacked out on NBA LEAGUE PASS in your local area, you should tune to your local station to see the game.

    Games will also be blacked out when they are appearing on national television. This applies to games being televised on ABC, ESPN, TNT, and NBA TV. You may view these games simply by switching to the designated channel. [/rquoter]

    I googled some more and apparently there is a workaround for the blackout on iphones/ipods:

    http://modmyi.com/forums/apple-appstore-app-discussion/694512-tired-blackout-restrictions-nba-league-pass-app.html

    Apparently International NBALP has no blackouts, so if we can get AroundTheWorld to buy us a Clutchfans membership, we are all set. :grin:

    Yes, ATDHE.net is really reliable for any sports. I also use http://www.myp2p.eu/index.php?part=sports this site for sports. They have multiple links for each game usually. Usually the games are on stream torrent download and install the utility to watch.

    Links are always posted in the garm, these are the sites usually posted

    atdhe.net
    channelsurfing.net
    ilemi.com

    you can check out other sports they are airing now to see if you'd like it before you purchase League Pass. I used the links for every game last season
