F@%K League Pass
Sixth Mavs game in a row that is blocked. Never paying for this shit service again.
If you are thinking of buying it, don't.

If you like piss poor quality, horrible resolution and constant delays/screen freezes, sure, then there are enough options.
League pass is actually a pretty good service, especially the international offers. Just get a VPN/Proxy and there are no blocked games at all. Last year I paid like 70€ for the entire regular season and playoffs, live and on demand (great thing if games usually take place at 2-5AM). Cant complain.

I took a shot on ballstreams this year and I couldn't be happier. Awesome quality, can choose which casters you want, no blackouts, can stream on my phone, can chromecast, etc. etc.

Mehh, quality is ok in my opinion. If you want to pay for it, go ahead.
Was just giving options...

It isn't illegal (or they just don't care) in the Netherlands where they operate and the NBA has no jurisdiction over them.
I'm sure it's frowned upon, but the league can't do shit about it.

I found this regarding the same question:
Quote:
They operate outside the NBA's jurisdiction in the Netherlands. Its legal to rebroadcast news there and sports are considered news in the Netherlands. Hockeystreams operates under the same principle and has been going on for 6 years or so.

Im pretty sure that sooner or later, they will get shut down though. Just a matter of time.

So I am on my 9th out of 10 games blocked out by this shit service. Seriously, fuck the NBA for endorsing this train wreck.

LPBB is dogshit. I got it about five years ago, hated it, and forgot how bad it was and then got it again for last season. Hated it again. I often found the streaming quality was comparable or even worse than the typical firstrow or atdhe24.
I am buying an Apple TV receiver with my tax return this year... hoping its LP service is better.

Why is it blacked out for you tonight? Are you in Memphis? Have the last 9 out of 10 games really been nationally televised?

Anytime a game gets voted to air on NBA TV = Blocked
Any game on TNT = Blocked
Any game on ESPN = Blocked
Any game v. Atlanta = Blocked
Any game v. Charlotte = Blocked
Any game v. Memphis = Blocked
Anytime League Pass tries to renew my subscription = My card will be blocked, biggest waste of money ever.

Where do you live? They should only block:
1) nationally televised games (ESPN, TNT, ABC, NBATV) and
2) locally televised games in your area (my local area is Phoenix, so I don't get to see the Suns/Mavs games without a proxy).
If they really are blocking all of those, you could have an issue with the service that can be fixed. If not, you have a class action lawsuit.

Ahh. You must live in one of those areas where multiple teams claim you as their home team. Crazy. The NBA needs to fix this.

I live in New Mexico, 5 hour drive from Denver, but LP blocks all my Nuggets games, so I miss the 3 or 4 times a year they play the MAvs. But otherwise LP is good for me, I generally use dish DVR and watch later. When I'm on the road I watch on my laptop, either live or later. Its BS they block the Denver games, Its not like I have an option to get the games on cable...we don't have cable where I live.

You're telling me...
The shitty thing is that I barely have any time to watch NBA this year with my new job, but it seems like they are always blacked out on the nights I am actually at home.

I live in Corpus Christi and every Mavs-Rockets game is blacked out for no reason as all the Spurs games are broadcast locally but the Rockets games aren't. If you are a Rockets fan living in Corpus you won't be able to watch any games! Dumbest blackout policy ever. I called them to ask how you watch any Rockets game, living in Corpus Christi and they didn't have an answer. Ridiculous.

I have KODI downloaded on amazon fire tv. It pulls everything from the Internet straight to my tv using sports devil app. Comes in 480 to 520p. Decent enough quality just not hd. Doesn't freeze and there are no ads since it streamlines it to the tv.
