It's really not hard at all.. It's pretty much the exact same as turning on your TV and cable box or whatever and going to the right channel.

These are serious questions from an old person, so be kind

I have 7 tv's in my house. I have DVR service to 4 of them. Does vue offer the same HD, recording, pausing, etc that my cable box and league pass does? Can I literally pause the game in the living room and watch the rest in my media room or whatever without unhooking and rehooking shit up?
 
This guy knows nothing but trying to get clicks so don't give in but this is interesting on it's own:

I paid $199 for NBA LP last season. Vue is $30/month. You get 7 months for about the price I paid for NBALP, and you get all the other channels on top of the games. The regular season is about 6 months long, so Vue is a better deal at $180 than NBALP.

I never got the sense the Blazers were about profit. They do use the money they make to run the team and make the stadium improvements, etc.

There for a few years, I got the Blazers on LP, because I lived outside the the 180 mile perimeter. But the past three year, it doesn't work, the Blazer games are blacked out, so is SAC and the Warriors. I get the Warrior and Comcast bay area, so that will be the only Blazers games next season except what is on National TV minus NBA TV. No since buying LP so no NBA TV. HA! They black out the Blazer games on NBA TV anyway since it is available on Comcast, doesn't matter if you can't get Comcast.

I can't really answer that question. I haven't personally used Vue even though I know people who have and I've never even had a DVR. I've just used Chromecast and Roku so I know it's not difficult to play apps/channels on them.
 
My parents live 10 miles outside of Salem on a farm. They can't get high speed internet or cable, their only TV option is Dish/Direct and Internet is also satellite, but satellite internet you have a cap like data plans for phones. So you would have to literally pay hundreds of dollars a month to stream games.

Now they go and even remove KGW games, so they are not actually worse off with the new deal.

Fuck you Blazers. I'm sick of this shit.

Trust me. If I could get better internet I would :(

But yep we live where we choose to live. I guess I could move to be able to watch games lolz.

Yeah, my parents should just just leave the farm that has been in the family for 100+ years so they can get games/better internet.

I don't do satellite, but I see Hughesnet offers internet access at 5 to 15 mbps depending on the plan you buy. I know it's not cheap, but that's certainly fast enough for streaming. http://www.hughesnet.com/

Better than selling the farm. ;)
 
I thought I read that they are continuing their partnership with KGW... did reading fail me again?

On balance, if you really think about how many moments of pure joy we have had compared to moments of utter sadness, wouldn't you say that the moments of sadness vastly outnumber the moments of joy?

You just described life. And before people think I'm just being morose, really think about it. The amount and quality of pleasure you experience is minuscule when compared to the amount and quality of non-pleasure you feel. We, as a species, have a greater sense of pain than pleasure. Imagine the most intense pleasure you can possibly imagine. Now imagine the most intense pain you can possibly imagine. Would you trade 10 minutes of that pain for an hour of pleasure? My guess is you wouldn't.

Fortunately for me, I get more joy than pain from basketball.

Obviously, you haven't had Sheed and Bonzi taking aim at your junk lately.

You should at least ask for a juice box and fruit rollup for each post you make.

Is that what they gave you when you were asked questions by jamie hudson on that cute show?

Wanna know if i can negotiate two juice boxes out of the deal.

Data caps :( they severely throttle you down after passing their cap. Which usually is quite small. Like dish satellite is a 10 gb data limit (wtf) I don't recall what Hughesnet cap is though.

Ah. I took a look and they've got caps of 5 to 50 gigs per month, depending on your plan. There's another 50 gigs provided free in off-peak hours so I suppose you could do your major downloading then. http://legal.hughesnet.com/FairAccessPolicyGen4.cfm

Yeah, that is what they have for internet. The problem is you only get 5-20 GBs of Data a month, unless you are on between 2am-8am. Streaming games would use that up very fast.
 
Wheels said:
thanks for checking that! I'm no expert but I venture HD streaming would go through even the 50 gb real fast lol

No cable TV there at all? What about DirecTV? They have NBALP.
