Legit streaming options for NBA playoffs 

Post#1 » by 2bmrap » Tue Jul 28, 2020 8:01 pm

So for someone who doesn't wanna do the reddit/discord streams or a VPN, what options exist if you want to get the various Sportsnet and TSN channels in a streaming capacity?

Can someone who has committed to these elaborate?

Thanks

Well sounds like you're going to need to get something like Rogers Ignite. You can stream on any device. Bell has the same thing. You can build your own channel package with Rogers, not sure about Bell. I've been watching the scrimmages on my computer using Rogers ignite and it's pretty decent, but I have gigabit internet, not sure how it'll be on slower internet packages, but streams just fine here.

Pretty much this. Pay 10 bucks a month and get more channels/movies than you can handle.

hehe streams is the best, and by a large margin. Multiple options - home/away/ESPN, etc - HD quality, good for mobile as well. You can watch replays of every game. The price is reasonable. I've used them now for the last few seasons.

The IPTV you get for $10 is definitely not legit.

OP wants something legal, not just something that works.

I think people are missing or ignoring the "legit" part of the post.

I appreciate the heads up and best of intentions from everyone, I've been streaming for a while (and even remember the time when you had to get satellite TV as a grey market option to get all the NBA and NFL games).

I just wanted something in 4K that works no hassle for family. If the reliability of the streaming sites was better and in better res I would get it. IPTV is decent but no 4K.

Thanks to all.

There is no legit 4k stream for Sports in Canada AFAIK.

If you want 4k, you have to pay for cable.

Just because you pay money doesn't mean the product is legit.

SNNOW + TSN GO. Between these two services you should get all Raptors games plus all nationally covered games plus some extras. Get NBA league pass on top of that if you want to watch every single game.

There's no legit options that don't go through Sportsnet and TSN. They own the rights and therefore you'd have to deal with them.

So hehe archives games as well?

I can’t always watch live, so PVR/archive option is a must.

Same boat. I remember those DirectTV cat and mouse days. IPTV is great and all but I wanted something that I could just turn on and go.

For that, I found Bell Fibe to be great. Their customer service is hit and miss but the actual product is pretty good. Internet speeds are ridiculous (at least compared to what I was used to) and picture quality is top notch.

iptv users. was thinking of getting it set up for me soon - how's your experience been? lag issues? are you able to watch all the raptors games fine?
I'm assuming the only thing you need aside from that is a good VPN

As crazy as it sounds, the NBA was getting paid from the games being streamed out of China. It was getting paid at a governmental level, they had some situation worked out before all the tweeting started. That might not be the case any more though.
