NBA LEAGUE PASS 2009-10

[VivaRipCity]

So I'm conisidering to purchase the NBA League Pass Broadband pack, where you get access to all the same games available to regular NBA League Pass subscribers, but it also allows you alot better views of the stats throughout the game and the ability to go back and watch a game you might have missed. My only concern is the Blackout Restrictions. It says if a game is televised in your local area it could be subject to Blackout Restrictions. Has anyone purchased this package before and have any feedback on it? Like would the games that are on the air on Comcast Sports Net be subject to Blackout Restrictions or only nationally televised games like ABC, NBC, ESPN, TNT? If so it might not be worth my money. Any tips or info would be much appreciated.

Had the LP for about 8 years. Last year was the first time they gave you the Broadband free with it. I LOVED IT!!!!! If it's a nationally broadcasted game ABC,TNT etc. It is blacked out. Other then that locally only the Blazer games are blacked out. I travel a lot, so whatever city I was in, those local games were also blacked out. It is awesome. 3 games at once on the screen. As a hoop junkie, I was in heaven! They also have the best games of the year you can watch any time.

the only thing I hated about league pass broadband is that they didn't show broadcast on nbatv.

How big is the LP's blackout area? I'm moving to the Oregon Coast, and was wondering whether it's in or outside the blackout area.

All of Oregon and Washington, and probably part of Northern California.

That doesn't work... I live in Virginia and while home in Portland, I tired watching a game on a buddies computer. It was not available. I get it free with my LP subscription. How much does it cost?

I believe they filter/permit access based on IP addresses... if one were looking to circumvent said IP address filtering, one would look into gaining access to a proxy server.

I've had it for a few years as well, and it gets better every year.

You can watch the games live or up to 48 hours after the game ends on your computer in full screen mode. It is impressive.

However, ALL nationally televised games and local ones are blacked-out. That includes NBA TV, ESPN, TNT, etc.

Seriously? That sucks. As a Washington resident I was looking forward to ditching Comcast and getting League Pass. I was hoping the blackout area was for Oregon only.

I tried this for half of last season and it worked for a while. Then in January they blacked out every game and I asked for a refund.

Also, the fact that the on demand package shows the score before you press play is baffling.

 

[THE HCP]

Would you be able to watch the blacked-out games later on, via the archive?

no.

 

[THE HCP]

When does CSN rebroadcast the games during the season?

 

[MrSelfDestruct]

I've always caught the replays the next morning.

Northern California isn't part of the Oregon market I believe b/c last year I had Kings games blacked out.

This is a great investment and was well worth it IMO. Only thing that bothered me was it lagged when I used full screen but it probably was just my house connection.
