OT: NBA League Pass (broadband)

So is this for international aswell or what?

The season is like 1 week away, you'd think they would make all the details available by now.

I'd be happy to pay the price just so I dont have to stress for an hour before every game hoping to find a stream.

Don't know T.

Either way, I don't think I'll use it this year. I feel a tad more secure about the original League Pass and buying it off an American. If it works and flies well this season, then I'll look into it next season.

You also have to factor in the price. I'd rather split the cost and lose out on a few games that are blakced out, than pay full amount.

Seems like it would've made too much sense to have gone this route (though it seems like that's how Stern rolls sometimes), but now i guess it makes sense, probably didn't offer it like this last year just to test it out

I didn't see the full price but on one of those links it said that 1 day is $6

When is this thing going to be available?

Toro Rojo · Post #48 » by **Toro Rojo** » Sat Oct 25, 2008 4:43 pm

The "Coming soon" thing is to persuade us not to do "dirty" things. :evil:

We better start looking for some alternatives come tuesday night.

Should be fine for the first week, as it's free to watch it online..

Let's hope they update it real soon - i want to watch my Blazers in Australia..

Opening night is tomorrow, still no League Pass Broadband. I've just sent another angry email, so I await a question dodging response.

90% certain you either won't get a reply or you get a reply with so little information that e-mail itself is empty.

Toro Rojo · Post #52 » by **Toro Rojo** » Mon Oct 27, 2008 2:47 pm

Me too. I sent an email and got no response whatsoever. :roll:

Maybe the sharing account plan should be back on.
Damn.

Last time I sent the same email 3 times to get a response. Just flood the inbox. You'll get some kind of response.

You can sign up for NBA All Access now. However, they still do not have video live subscription yet. As of right now, they only have audio league pass :lol:

Who the hell would pay for audio league pass when you can get it online for free? They need to be more thoughtful next time.

How can I watch the Bulls season opener? Any link?

Guys - have just received a reply from NBA.com and they do not offer Leauge Pass Broadband as a Stand Alone product..

Email received:

NBA LEAGUE PASS Broadband is not sold as a stand-alone product.

You must be an active NBA LEAGUE PASS satellite or digital cable television subscriber to get NBA LEAGUE PASS Broadband.

To find out how to subscribe to NBA LEAGUE PASS, visit NBA.com and click the link to LEAGUE PASS on the left navigation bar, or go directly to http://www.nba.com/nba_tv/howgetleaguepass.html

That's strange, because there is a page on www.nba.com that states that it will be sold as a stand alone product.

Confusing. So much for the game going global. Looks like I'm miss a ton of games this year.

Markus1984 · Post #58 » by **Markus1984** » Tue Oct 28, 2008 1:37 am

I replied and outlined that it's false advertising..

My extensive email included points as to why international viewers can get access to WNBA and NBDL, but not NBA..

Plus informing them that I'll continue to download games and watch them illegally down here in Australia.

Toro Rojo · Post #59 » by **Toro Rojo** » Tue Oct 28, 2008 1:54 am

Two things:

1) Did anyone find the Broadband League Pass while entering via www.nba.com? I couldnt, although one guy put the direct link to it here in this thread.
( http://www.nba.com/leaguepass/online.html )

2) So is the sharing account plan back to consideration? Its a "Yes" for me. So if anyone is interested in selling me their broadband access, please email me at WESTCOASTRIDE AT GMAIL DOT COM

Ah, third, Fu*k the NBA. :evil:

Tri_N · Post #60 » by **Tri_N** » Tue Oct 28, 2008 2:00 am

Is anyone interested about splitting their account with me?

If you are, please email me at triduc50 at gmail dot com

I am very good with payment so you don't have to worry about me.
