NBA TV Monthly Subscription

MadDad

Anyone using or know about the new NBA TV monthly subscription $5.99 p/month

I used the trial for the league pass and it was excellent not sure how this compares

What do you get for your money?

How many live games? Can you watch archived games?

You get this free with the league pass subscription (at the moment anyway).

Basically it's a tv channel and I don't think you can control what you view. It's just a 24/7 basketball channel. I've seen some old classic games on it and I think they show live games too but as I have league pass I don't really check it much. I'd say it's good but would recommend the full league pass if you can afford that bit extra. I'll keep an eye on what they're showing over the next few nights and report back. I don't really stay up that late though so would miss most of the live games if they are shown. Thats why I find league pass great as you can watch any game at any time with the option of condensed highlights.

Here's today's schedule on nba tv. http://www.nba.com/nbatv/schedule/ so that's what you get really.

The One Who Knocks

I was thinking of getting a league pass, but it's fairly expensive, anyone want to go halves on it?

We could share an account or something?

How would that work?

Create a mutual account and share the sign in details with each other.

Package is 167 in total so nearly 85 quid each each for people to go halves. Would be tough to do though. One person would have to pay the entire thing online then get the money off the other. Not sure whether you can be logged into multiple computers at the same time either.

The One Who Knocks

On second thought, I think I'll pass

You can get a mobile league pass for €40 on android. You get 40 Live Games Per week, which is plenty for me

In fact, they have a free trial out now and it seems pretty good,

Although it's kinda annoying to get the app, you either have to root your phone, change the location to somewhere in the US, then download via Google Play

Alternatively, you can download the apk online,

The App is called NBA Game Time

Signed up for the NBA League Pass trial. The lack of ad's/analysis is actually really annoying. Looking at a blank screen every time there is a timeout or break.

Sitting looking at a blank screen for 15 mins during half time really sucks.

Is there a better way to watch with full coverage?

Best thing to do is just switch over to another game during half-time mate, that's what I do anyway. The blank breaks during the game are pretty annoying but you get used to it after a couple of weeks. I usually just mess around on Boards etc during the breaks.

I like to switch between other games that are being broadcasted at the same time during breaks or at half time, or as Pauly D said, check out boards

Don't forget the free trial is ending after tonight.

Back to normal sleeping times for me.

I know streaming games can be messy, but I know of a great site to download them the next day.

PM for link,

If you really couldn't be bothered, you can catch a 2 minute recap of any game on nba gametime,

PizzamanIRL

Thanks but I'll go back to doing what I used to do and watching the recap like you said. Saves alot of time and internet bandwith.
