I'm a big fan of the NBA League Pass, but since I live in Brasil, I don't have any blackout problems.

But I assume in Orlando all away games are on TV, am I right?

Ballstreams is cheaper ($40/3 months and you can freeze your account). You can watch it on your computer or stream to your tv and its HD. It'll be back up and running soon enough.


This. Ballstreams works perfect for me whether I'm streaming directly from my PC or on my Roku or doing both at the same time. They had a special on the yearly subscription so I took advantage of that and with the ability to freeze your account, I basically will be able to watch next year without paying again.

I've tried Ballstreams on multiple computers and also different networks and still have laggy/choppy streams :banghead: :banghead:

So far I'm happy with international league pass, it's a shame Magic fans in Orlando have to jump through some many hoops to get legal streams.

BTW, has the subscription issue on Ballstream been fixed yet? That is what made me jump ship.


Yeah I've heard people having awful experiences with Ballstreams. I normally just change the server location when I deal with choppy streams and normally that works for me with no issues.

Nope, that billing issue is still going on as my friend just tried to renew his subscription today and was unable to do so.

This is just for Florida residents I would imagine and I know ziltch about channel programs but they show all 82 Magic games. Gotta be cheaper than league pass.

Guess I'll just try the LP free trial and see of BS gets it together within that time if not LP will be the only option as the games start while I'm still at work :(


yea, i could've sworn I made an account with BS a while back, but no signs of it ever existing, according to them. (Never bought anything with the account, so maybe that's why?)


Same here. I had a free account and was going to go premium once the season started but my account is gone now.

Ive been trying to register on ballstreams for like 3 months already.
when you are trying to register ...it says they will message you back and they dont.Tried that from 3 emails several times already.
Nothing...they dont want my money.So my only option is LP or go illegal.

Are there another website to get the magic games or there's no way in avoiding the blackouts? Does anyone have another way in watching the games?

What cable do you guys have that you are getting games blacked out? I have DirecTV and none of the games are ever blacked out for me. They are all on Fox Sports Florida. I've seen this a lot, so figured I would ask.

Also, Ballstreams is apparently being watched closely and on the verge of being shutdown. This was on a few forums. No matter how you spin it, it is illegal. And if you pay for it, knowing it is illegal, you won't get your money back and can be part of any legal action. The NBA doesn't mess around with its product. You better believe they'll be going after getting this shut down.

The Philly game was blacked out in Orlando for me on league pass. I have a VPN which works in most cases. But it's annoying nonetheless.

No, I don't have cable. I'm not really sure how blackouts work, so I bought a VPN. I didn't think away games would be blacked out.

Any game that is shown in the home market will be blacked out. And this year all 82 are on Fox Sports Florida. So, you'll have to try and work around that one.
