NBA League Pass. Is it worth it?

That's assuming that you mange to record all 1101 games and watch every single one of them, meaning you would need to have about 9 TVs all recording at once. Of course, if you can afford 9 TVs, then you can obviously afford League Pass.

 

I've purchased the NBA Audio Pass the last two years, and I've been very happy with it. It's getting more expensive now ($10/month last year), but I listened to probably 20 games a month. I enjoyed it.

As a Rockets fan in New England, it was my lifeline to Rockets action.

 

I live in Brenham (about 90 miles E of Hou) and have Direct TV. Last year most of the Rocket games were covered by local stations or Standard Direct TV Satellite channels. I have the local station option (2-99) so I got all but 1 or 2. Will the same be true this year or should I get season pass to get the rockets ?

Thanks for clearing this up for me.

 

in the Greater Houston area, all the games have been on either over-the-air stations or cable.
last year was KNWS and the ESPN/TNT combo
the year before was UPN and FSSW IIRC..
I havent missed a regular season game in ages because they are always on TV around here.

 

Almost bought audio pass last year...but $10 /month scared me off -- almost as much as League Pass if you get the whole season. MLB and Hockey are free!

Can you record/download the games or do you have to be hooked up?

 

Thanks for being a "fellow fan filled with fury".
(I would wink, but we're serious!)

According to DaDakota, NBATV is $2.00 a month during the season. I still think it's a rip-off, but (I can't believe I'm saying this!) I'll probably pony up again this season and pay the g-d'ed 2 bucks. You just KNOW that several of the best Rockets games will be on NBA TV.

I guess it's all or nothing. And if I don't see all the games, as per usual, I won't be able to satisfy my Rocket Lust and play havoc on the GARM.

Is the November 4th deadline for the "early bird" discount correct? Hell, I need to just check with Time/Warner. I hope they finally let me pay it all in a lump sum. Every year I try to do that and they end up spreading it over 3 or 4 months, and my wife raises hell about the monthly bill. If I just paid it, she'd only raise hell about all the time I spend watching the games and here at CC.net. That, I can handle.

 

Deckard is right.

I checked on this SPECIFICALLY because we got screwed last year.

Time Warner added a SPORTS package that includes NBA TV and it is $2 a month....I ponied up for it.....it also includes champions league soccer, so I kind of like it.

DD, were you able to pay a lump sum for LP? I know NBA TV is a monthly thing, but my domestic harmony is imperiled by the monthly LP thing added to RoadRunner, added to PP-view, added to premium channels... you get the picture.

 

I thought Brenham was northwest of Houston.

What's the difference between NBATV and NBALP?

 

Sorry, I had a senior moment. Of course, you are correct. But, still no one bothered to answer my question, and now that you mention it I can't remember whether all the games were shown on 51, 39, TNT, or NBC. I may have missed more than I remember, and do sell outs show locally like the NFL or is it the owners perogative.

I want to make sure i have the option of watching every game, how does one do that ? Please answer.
