I've tried watching the illegal streams but the quality is so bad, I don't know how you guys do it. Half the time I can't tell who has the ball and often the the stream will hiccup. Maybe I'm just not going to the right websites.

I would gladly pay for NBA League Pass Broadband if it meant I could watch all 82 Raptor games for somewhere around $100. I know that probably won't happen for a few reasons, so I'm kind of stuck unless I want to buy cable.

I pay around $40-$100 a game to watch them at the ACC in the 100s section.

Season......wait for it...... Tickets

(even tho it is sseason passes, i consider some games are worth $40 (like watching Detroit live) or $100 (watching the lakers and miami come to town))

Hey man, what VPN worked the best for you? I tried using HideMyAss last year (the trial version). However whenever I would connect to a European country (to make sure the blackout doesn't apply), the connections were extremely slow.

Edit: Never mind. I see you have already answered it in another thread. I would try the Proxy this year and see how that goes.

I used HMA as well and you're right it's too slow.. but the trick my friend is that the blackout validation only happens when you log-in.
So what you do is..
1. Close browser (Ctrl+alt+delete and kill the process too)
2. Open HMA! and connect to random country
3. Log-in to LP
4. If you see the blackout icon is gone, disconnect HMA and enjoy the game using your own connect

There's something called OpenVPN that I'm gonna try next season which is free. I don't really know anything about it but I've been told I could use it rather than paying for HMA but I dunno

League Pass + Unotelly worked fine during the season. The benefit of using Unotelly is that it bypasses blackouts while still using your connection so you don't have to worry about slow VPNs. That worked until the 2nd round of the playoffs when LP changed something with their authentication. Then I had to use a method similar to pbj's above. Hopefully Unotelly will have worked out a fix in time for next season.

If you're going to buy League Pass, use a Romanian or Spanish VPN to buy the International League Pass + ASW + Playoffs package for much less than what it would cost in North America. I think it was $100 when I bought it.

$100 in Canada as well, no need to buy things on sketchy proxy server... I would not enter my card info on a proxy server... yikes.

The way LP works, is it checks your location when you log-in and then decides whether anything should be blacked-out depending on where you're connecting from.

A VPN routes your connection through another IP address, so it makes it look like you're actually connecting from another location. If you use another country, like Lisbon, Portugal, nothing is ever blacked-out.

The wireless company? Or do they have like DSL internet? Anyway, blackouts are the way it is here. Our version of the FTC is owned by the teams.

Yes.
Pay for NBA League Pass on NBA.com first.
VPN / proxy server to a different country (if you live in Philly, set your proxy to anywhere but US).
Enjoy the full HD game.

You would need to google around to find out how to do the VPN / Proxy bit though.
I don't think it is allowed to be posted here.

Man I gotta get on that. Besides a Eagles and Sixers I have no interest in Cable. Especially when I could download some of my favorite shows.

OMG, just realized I misread your question. I thought you were telling you could can watch Sixer games without cable and questioning why we couldn't. :oops:
