| I tried very hard to pay the NBA to stream its games online. I bought NBA League Pass Broadband two years running and found: 1. Many games I wanted to see were under local blackout 2. Many games I wanted to see were blacked out because they were the Tuesday NBA TV game. 3. I tried time shift games and found that whenever the game ends, the stream ends and snaps you to the final score. No matter where you are in the stream. 4. I found replay was flaky. For all these reasons, I found myself often watching games on atdhe despite having paid to watch them. I also found myself really enjoying watching random TV commercials in Polish or Czech or Arabic, depending on atdhe source. I also really was impressed with the quality of the Veetle software. Anyway, issues 3 & 4 could be solved by competent programming. Issues 1 & 2 (blackout) are likely to be with us for a long time due to the idiotic history of profit divvying in the industry. I would still love to pay the NBA to watch the games, as long as all the games are viewable! |
