AustralianHawksFan Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) I am only new here, and as you can see I am all the way down under in Australia. Which makes it tough to watch my hawks as ESPN Australia gave us a miserly 1 game this season for the hawks. Now I'm not sure if I posted this on the right board but I was wondering what is the best website to watch my hawks play, I have been using firstrowsports.eu but some of the streams are pretty poor. So what site(s) do people on here use to watch hawks games? Thanks Edited January 8, 2014 by AustralianHawksFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebert Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 When I watch the game on live I watch it here http://firstrownow.eu/sport/basketball.html And normally in weekdays, I have to watch the game the next day right here http://www.lahemerotecanba.es/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member BrazilianHawk Posted January 8, 2014 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I live in Brazil and have bought the International League Pass for 3 seasons now. The quality is up to your internet speed, but usually you can watch all the games in HD. It isn't very cheap, but it's worth it for us outside the USA. They used to offer some trial, but I'm not sure you can have it now. Take a look! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what site(s) do people on here use to watch hawks games? Thanks A lot of people are saying great things about ballstreams.com but it seems that public registrations are closed. It's much much cheaper than NBA LP but supposedly the same quality. Maybe someone here who uses it can give you more info on it and maybe they can invite you? I would seriously caution against using those free streaming sites unless you've got a computer that you can wipe and re-image and it's not on your network where other computers could become infected.

Admin Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 So I just requested an invite and had one within 30 minutes, signed up for a 1 day trial at $5.99. Set it up on my Roku and logged in to watch an archive game, where you can choose home or away broadcast, and it's fantastic quality! The neat thing is you can choose which server you want to use, which basically means you will never get blacked out. If you're in Atlanta just choose anywhere but North America - East and you should be fine. Of course I'm just guessing that it's still looking at your location, you may not have to worry about that at all. I am honestly amazed at how good the quality is though and so far in this broadcast it's not buffering at all. If anyone needs an invite request then click on this link and it should let you request a new membership and work right away (I believe). The prices for membership are: 1 day - $5.991 week - $12.491 month - $17.493 months - $34.996 months - $54.991 year - $89.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJlaysitup Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Be careful with firstrowsports...it works OK but if you've had a drink or two and hit the wrong button they will be sending you emails about the Asian wife you just ordered . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Okay now ballstreams has really sold me now as I got to watch the entire pre-game broadcast for the Hawks. I'm hoping that I get to see the post-game as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 And real commercials and not that awful grating tune they play while showing the scores during commercials on NBA LPBB. Seriously kicking myself for not switching to this sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 You're welcome? :laugh:Haha thanks! I'm just tired of losing money to these sites operating on the fringe of legality from other countries and them getting shut down. I'm gonna come to you for a refund if this one gets shut down lol. Seems like it's gonna be around for a while though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried streaming on firstrowsports.com but it kept buffering all the time, I guess I can live off of box scores and highlights packages on nba.com though.

Yeah I've never liked using those sites and have experienced all sorts of issues, including malware. For $35 you could get the next 3 months games, that's a pretty great deal less than a dollar a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I'm obviously in Australia and I have used Streamhunter quite a bit. In streamhunter I find I have the best success with Kiwisportz (http://www.coolsport.tv/schedule.html), its not the best quality but I find it the most watchable from here. I stream it to my TV via my HTPC. The popups are a pain at first, but once you click them away its all good. I am definitely going to check out Dolfan's option, maybe this weekend if I can sitdown for a game. Thanks for the tip Dolf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) And normally in weekdays, I have to watch the game the next day right here http://www.lahemerotecanba.es/ Thanks Ebert, this one is great. I'm usually at work when the games are on during the week. I'm streaming the game @Nets right now in pretty decent quality. Do you know how long it takes for the games to become available? Edit: Wow, I just tried the 720p stream and no buffering! Edited January 9, 2014 by Rick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 And real commercials and not that awful grating tune they play while showing the scores during commercials on NBA LPBB. Seriously kicking myself for not switching to this sooner. Last year when I had Time Warner and NBALP, the TV telecast would show real commercials. In other words, I got to watch BR-30 commercials the entire time. It was fun. I also had the option of watching the pregame and postgame since I have SportSouth. I did not ever think about that option though and screwed up by not playing the Larry Drew drinking game. This year with ATT U-Verse and NBALP, the TV telecast does not show a single commercial. It is the annoying stats screen. The service is so frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
