I feel like this topic comes up every few months, but I can't find those threads if they exist. Anyways, I was wondering if there was any way, with a paid service, to access Comcast Sports Net without cable. The only things I use my TV for are the Bears, Bulls, Bayern Munich+Germany soccer, and a few TV shows. The few TV shows I watch I stream, I watch my soccer games through paid online services such as FoxSoccer2Go and KlouwdTV(for Bundesliga), and Bears don't require cable. The one thing I can't get past is getting the Bulls without cable. NBA League Pass would be an option, but they would black out Bulls games for me. Any other possible suggestions out there for me, so I don't pay cable just for the Bulls?

I finally gave up when they jacked up their prices again. I just watch the games the next day.

Yeah I couldn't do that, I'd be impatient. Just sucks that I'm paying that money just for a few games.

Lol yeah, it does get a little nerve racking. The weekend games are usaully shown on WGN or ABC. Its mainly the weekday games. It seems silly to pay the huge rates for a some games. I wish league pass didn't have all those black outs otherwise I'd be willing to buy that. The quality during the free trial was fantastic.

No unless you have antenna and like WGN only or use illegal streaming sites.

Find a friend who has dish and watch it on the dish anywhere app/site using their credentials.

Of course Hill drains that

This Lakers team is hot garbage. We deserve to lose this game

Ballstreams is awesome. Also, Reddit game thread usually has feeds.

What exactly is Ballstreams and how reliable is it? I see it's a paid service.

I'm guessing those Reddit links aren't necessarily legal nor 100% reliable.

The fact that streaming services are available, even by CSN, but can't be accessed unless you are a TV subscriber is very frustrating. I expect (at least hope) this to change the next time CSN (or whatever channel/network like ESPN, fox, etc) negotiate the contract to the rights to air their programming. CSN and the others would be fools to maintain being controlled by TV providers when they could negotiate their own advertising deals for ads during internet streams. These networks have really been dropping the ball. Streaming apps need to be available for things like roku, xbox one, ps4, apple, chrome, etc. Quit giving exclusive rights to TV programming, while leaving yourself vulnerable to being ripped off by illegal streams. Make your own, free, HD streams, and people from all over the world will view it live, and will watch ads too.


Right now it seems like ball streams is the main option. Is it legal? Depends where you are. I have heard mixed reviews of the quality, but it has been around a little while now and I think it will stay (until the NBA pays for a lengthy legal battle in the EU, that they might not win).
