OT: How to legally stream the Knicks 

Post#1 » by Iamphilhughes » Thu Jun 16, 2016 2:23 am

Hey guys, wanted to know if you had any tips for a Knicks fan looking to cut the cord. Currently have VZ but due to horrible customer service and pricey plans, I'm looking to move on. Checked out PlayStation Vue which was awesome (and it has yes). The only thing holding me back from cutting the cord is our beloved Knicks. I was able to get a cablevision login and tried msg go but its awful. No AirPlay or chromecast was a deal breaker.

Looked into nba packages but all local games are blacked out. The only way to access local games is to change your IP address (which wouldn't work for me because PlayStation Vue uses your ip to show you local tv). Any ways to cut the cord and watch the Knicks? Really want to sever ties with VZ.

Thank you!

youll need to find html5 streaming options as flash player wont work on ps4/xb1. reddit nba streams will have links during the season but there is no guarantee to it

Did a quick search and it appears taken down. Sad that I'm practically begging the nba to take my money but they won't. Pretty bizarre you can't stream games in 2016.

I can't really provide much help on this end since the links I'd recommend are not legal.

If you plan to use optimum or Comcast just for Internet, I wonder if the MSG GO app works without a cable subscription. I'd doubt it, but that's the only thing I know

How does MSG go prevent streaming?

What was the name of the crappy streaming site from back In the espy forum days? I can never remember the name of it. Spent hundreds of hours watching crappy pixelated Knicks games.
