My experience is that League Pass stutters on the computer, but is perfectly smooth on my PS4, whereas based on what I've read, people have a lot of issues trying to get Ballstreams to work well on their PS4.

That's the big problem here. I tweeted Nick Monroe yesterday if that was going to be the case and he said yes. i.e. all the games on FSN would have League Pass broadband blackouts for Wisconsin IP addresses.

But he also said that Fox Sports Net has some sort of mobile package apparently that I'm not familiar with.

So I'm not sure how I want to approach things this season.


The did debut Fox Sports Go last season. I used it a couple times when for Bucks games when I was somewhere that only had the SD broadcast as an option. Works great. I've been so disenchanted with the Brewers since the Braun scandal that I haven't used it to watch a single Brewers game, lol. That's very significant since I watched 99% of Brewers games from 2005 to 2012, and it's tailspin down to 0%.

But I digress...
Fox Sports Go is not available as a standalone product. In order to use the app or website, you have to use your cable/satellite login. Not sure if uverse works. You'd have to check.

I suppose you could get the lowest tier cable available without any DVRs or digital cable boxes if you just want to use the FSGo app, but that still isn't cheap

Or ask a friend who has cable for his info so you can use FS Go. Give the guy 20 bucks or something

makes sense. i always just plug my laptop into my tv, but if you want to run ballstreams on a console youre going to have to run a media server. so youd have to have a lightning fast network for it to not be a piece of ****.

I'm a ball streams user also. Not only is it half the price for the year, but a year long sub to BS is 365 calendar days, not just the season, and you can freeze the account during the off season to preserve your days. Great steam quality, had zero issues all of last season.

They also show SL, pre season, march madness, during the playoffs they would show the inside the NBA episodes.

Plus, most importantly, no blackouts.

Buy the mobile package and then chrome cast to your TV. I've had awesome results with chromecasting stuff from my phone to the TV.

I don't think FS GO has Chromecast support. Could be wrong though. You can cast the whole screen, which I guess is an option.

Ya I've been doing the whole screen when the app doesn't specifically support Chromecast and it works fine for me.

I'll roll my league pass on another year. I get the value out of it so i can handle the cost despite it continuing to rise..

Ballstreams was a big help for me last year when I was in Germany, though due to my schedule I couldn't watch nearly as much as I wanted. Will definitely be going back for this upcoming season and really enjoying NBA basketball every single night.

It was things like lag, stuttering etc. This was to do with the Australian servers though...

The other issue is that I have the most ghetto internet ever - very slow where I live. If people who have good internet have issues I'd be bound to.

Good to hear positive stuff on here though. I may investigate more.

That's what I did. Froze it right after the draft too.

I'm hoping to move back to the area in December or so, so I'll go for the single game service, since I'm likely to work a lot of the time anyway.

I'm in Seattle and will be going with the single team option this season. Paid for the whole deal last year and only watched the Bucks via DVR.

I love the first week of the season when LP is free, going from game to game. But I can't imagine having it the whole season, I don't have the time to make it worth the investment. I'd definitely get it for Bucks games if I moved out of the area.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Dont like bumping threads but.... I'd like to purchase ballstreams for the upcoming season and was wondering if anyone would be able to send me a refferal link if possible? That would be sweet if anyone has one. Please and thank you.

I always just use pirated streams. I don't watch TV anyways, at least on an actual TV, so I don't mind the pirated streams. The quality really isn't that bad on the good ones. Of course, I grew up in a household with three-four TV channels and we always watched sports games through heavy static, so the pirated streams seem downright HD to my eyes.
