The worst part about NBA League Pass Broadband

[Gray Mule]

Hawks on Fox Sports South is blacked out - You must pay.

Crazy me. I thought I could get it on the dish for free. Nope.

So, I went to Broadband and paid up for the year. Pretty cool

and the quality is not bad - Not great but not bad.

Celtic announcers, on the other hand, stink.

How much is broadband?

I think it was $90 or slightly less for the whole season. WELL worth it IMO. Especially since you can watch it as an archive game and fast forward or rewind through it as soon as the game ends.

Is seeing that damn Celtics (or should I say Kevin Garnett) commercial at EVERY commercial break. I have a feeling that will be the case for the entire season too.

Other than that and the occasionally poor quality and lag I have been impressed with it and it's a hell of a lot better than trying to find a stream of the game online someplace.

Agree with everything, I hate that Garnett commerical with a passion, but I love the Charles Barkley commercial.

Just so other people are aware, you can fast forward and rewind the US version of League Pass Broadband. The International version doesn't allow you to do this. It is a continuous loop of the game, so you have no idea at what stage of the game is at when you start it. I usually ask my wife to see where its at so as not to ruin the score for me in case I load it up right at the end of the game.

That really sucks!

I wonder if they use the zip code that you registered with (unlikely) or your IP address when viewing?

They use your IP. I couldn't watch the games in Atlanta, but I was able to watch the games this week from Washington state.

OK, I'm officially pissed off beyond imagination. Someone is going to get some major wrath on the phone.

Its freaking ridiculous. I'm about 350 miles from Atlanta. Best game of the season and in quite a long time regular season-wise and I get screwed and have to watch the NBA.com highlights. DAMN!
