For all practical purposes it is extremely difficult to get league pass as way of watching Raptor games.

This year you can still login to hotspot, connect to league pass, disconnect from hotspot and still be connected to league pass. It works fine.


Basically, everything is the same as last year, only now you need HS Shield to access the American league pass landing page.

I'm pretty sure knickerbocker2k2 was talking about the International league pass.

for the ppl who have League Pass/ Sports Pack on Rogers cable in TO.

How many games show up in HD?

I used to get the Sports Pack but I stopped last year b/c at most you'd get 2-3 games out of 10 as HD and only by certain teams broadcasters (ie YES network for Nets was always HD, Comcast for Boston never was HD) The only HD channels were 494-498 and half were hockey.

What % of the games come in HD?

Limited sample obviously, but I haven't seen much improvement yet in the number of games in HD.
At most so far, you may get 3 at a time. So you could end up with 5-6 a night; but even then, it seems rather than utilize all the available channels, they will join in progress some games on the same channel as EST games finish.

Disappointing to say the least, especially after they went with all games in HD for Sunday Ticket this year.

Even worse, yesterday's Mavs-Clippers game wasn't on at all, not even SD.

I've split the cost with people the last two years and am hoping to do the same this year...trouble is, the 2 people who agreed to share it with me just backed out. Anyone want in? I have a friend with a US credit card, in case you're worried about that...I'm hoping for 3 people plus myself.

I am wondering about this also. Does anyone know for ILP if this is true or false? Also, is it possible to get the American league pass with hotspot shield + canadian credit/address?

Jouissance: I was one of the people that split it with you last year. I am down for doing it again as it was all fly last time around, plus I still have your account information so arranging a payment will be incredibly simple. I sent you an e-mail, just letting you know here as well.

Just want to make sure you guys use protection (XXX Shield), and know who are the people who's sharing it at the same night :D
Its sad that you don't even know how many people at there the same night, at least you know whos the responsible one.

Is anyone unable to connect to League Pass using Hot Shield? I can surf the internet fine but I can't connect to LP. Any help?

I was wondering if anyone else had a problem with watching the game in normal console/full screen. I seem to be able to watch the game when I shrink it to one of the peripheral games or switch to the mini screen, but the viewer goes to a black screen every time I try in normal console or full screen view.

Needless to say, this is extremely frustrating. I had the American league pass working all of last year with no problems.

I found a free trial Euro VPN. I couldn't seem to get it to work as once I connected to the VPN I didn't have internet access. Someone else should test it and see if it'll work with ILP.

^ True but it sucks when the games you must want to see continually die or are choppy as hell. Even worse is when streams die in the 4th qtr.
