Can't watch NBA League Pass on WiFi
I am experiencing the following with NBA League Pass:
1) On TV: I can watch all teams.
2) On my iPad and iPhone with AT&T cellular data: I can watch all teams. But this is too expensive, as one game will eat up 3 Gigs of data.
3) On my computer, iPad, and iPhone with WiFi from Time Warner cable Internet: I can't watch my favorite team. I can watch all of the 29 other teams, but not the only team I care about. And that one team is 2,000 miles from where I live, and so it is not my local team and therefore it should not be blacked out -- but it is for all live and archived games.
4) A Time Warner technician came to my home today and found that if I hook up my computer and Time Warner router directly to Ethernet, I can watch my favorite team on my computer. But this is not a solution, because then I don't have WiFi at all for anything. The technician said the problem is with my Apple Airport Express WiFi device because it is somehow blocking my favorite team and he suggested calling Apple, but my Airport Express is just now out of warranty. He also said I could purchase a new Airport Express.
I work late and many times there is another team that plays on my team's channel for a later game, and so I need to be able to watch archived games on my computer or iPad with WiFi. I know that games are not available for two hours after they are played, but for me all of my team's archived games are blocked for the entire season when I try to use WiFi.
NBA League Pass said the problem is with Time Warner and claimed that the proof of that is that I can watch NBA League Pass games on my iPad and iPhone using AT&T cellular data -- and so that narrowed down the problem to WiFi from Time Warner cable Internet. I can toggle back and forth from cellular data and see the game, and then to WiFi but the same game is blacked out. I am not using a VPN that masks my location, but NBA League Pass said there is something about my WiFi that is misreporting my location. I tried using NBA League Pass' tool that checks my IP address location, and it shows that it is local to my area as it should. NBA League Pass said that when someone moves there is often a problem, and I did move six weeks ago 30 miles to a new Time Warner zone.
This is frustrating because I spent $189 for NBA League Pass to watch my favorite team but can't watch many of its games. I am also concerned that next season the same problem will occur and I won't be able to watch my favorite team on WiFi.
I am getting 33 Mbps speeds on my computer and about 27 Mbps on my Ipad with WiFi, so the speed is okay.
I am seeking help from anyone who knows how to fix this problem with watching NBA League Pass on WiFi. Should I buy another AirPort Express (I just bought one three months ago)? Should I dump Time Warner and go to Verizon FIOS? Or is there a setting I can change that would solve this problem? Thank you in advance.
The answer is at the Apple customer support site.

Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to all this, and have only just bought my first Mac.
Can someone help me with the best setup for my Lounge Room to watch NBA League Pass?
Is Apple TV my best option? or is there another way I can watch through the NBA website wirelessly?
Currently I'm using my xbox with the Game Time app to watch games, but with this I am unable to use any of the features League Pass Premium has to offer.
Because of this, I thought it would be best to stream from my Mac via the NBA website.
Can someone let me know exactly what Adaptor I'll need to buy, and any other cables?
TV is a Panasonic ST60.
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!anyone?

When is NBA league pass going to be available to new subscribers?
We are a week away from the regular season and still no option to add league pass on the website or o er the phone.
Good Morning,
Unfortunately at this time we do not have any information at this time as far as the date. We will provide more information as it comes. However, you can launch the NBA League Pass Widget and see if you can subscribe from there.

TS1424 Bought NBA league pass and not enabling me to watch videos
I bought nba league pass and it shows up in my purchase history, but it won't enable me to watch in the app itself.
Hi deliboi,
You may want to check with them to see if this is normal.
Apple TV: Troubleshooting third-party content providers
If features are missing or different on other platforms
You might notice that some provider's features or content on the Apple TV differ between other devices such as iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and third-party systems. In most cases, this is normal for the service. For help with features or content, contact the content provider.
Take care,

So im trying to watch the nba league pass on my apple tv and it seems to be buggy. 1st off why is it when I try to switch between games that it starts back at the beginning of the game. Why doesnt it either pick back up where I left off or back to live action. 2nd, how come there isnt a option to view more then one game at a time like it is on the computer? 3rd, maybe this is a nba decision but why is some games audio only? Who the **** wants to listen to a game when you can watch it. I dont want to hear about Kobe or Lebron scoring 30 points, I want to see him do it!!! 3rd how come there isnt a option to view more then one game at a time.
NBA blackout rules may be the problem or at least I consider them a major problem. The rules apply to all versions: Apple TV, computer version, and mobile for iOS devices. The NBA should make this much clearer!
This appears to be the case: they will demand your location and use it to blackout any games that are being televised locally including cable (espn, tnt, etc.). This pretty much does away with the possible use to "cable cut".
I'd like to use my iPad to watch games while also watching tv with the wife (she doesn't watch sports). Would pay for this but most of the games I'm interested in would be blacked out: local team and one other team that is often on national cable channels.
Believe most folks assume "blackout" applies to the home team that doesn't sell out that game. This has been the rule for over the air broad casts of nfl games. NBA expands on that significantly. -
I live in New Zealand.
Normally watch NBA live around 5pm NZ time.
I have a couple of comments:
1) my other channels has very good connections, but watching live games I have not encountered a smooth broadcast. My view is often interrupted by error in connection every 2-3 minutes. Only very very rarely I am able to watch a full game without such frequent interruption.
2) I opted for the more extensive subscription , but I realised youtube NBA has faster more up to date highlights or video of the Starters show than NBA league pass. Otherwise the league pass has some old games and a show by hosted by Grant Hill but only once a week, and no option or viewing it electively any time.
I have regrets subscribing to the channel. I would at least hope that (other than the better connection) as subscriber we can have more access to other NBA shows and that it would-be archived so we can access it anytime.Ok. Just got off the phone with Verizon and here is their answer:
"The NBA League Pass will be shown in HD once the Free Trial is over. Direct TV and Comcast are not offering the games in HD either until the Free Trial is over."
I don't know if there is any truth to this because you would think they would show the games in HD for the free trial to get more people to purchase the league pass. Sounds fishy. Then he tried to get me to sign up today for the league pass after I just told him I did not want it unless the package was in HD.
I'm going to wait until after the free trial is over and ask some of my buddies if all the games are in HD.
He tried to convince me to order it and he'll make a "note" on my account to refund all my money for the league pass if it is not in HD. You can only imagine what aheadache that would be trying to get my money back. -
NBA League Pass/NHL GameCenter?
I'm getting an Apple TV soon and I was wondering if you can get NBA League Pass or NHL GameCenter on the UK TV?
And if you can, are there any restrictions, e.g. can't watch full games/live?
Thanks.I agree i wish every game was in HD like directv does plus directv gives you home and away feeds of every game,which is why i will probably go back to dirctv next year for! but i am hpoing verizon will do this next year,as far as channel 1450 goes it should be in HD,the last few games i watched were on 1454so i havent checked 1450,but it definitly should be in HD!.

I am trying to activate NBA League Pass on my Apple TV. It asks you to type in your Access ID and Password. I miss-typed my Access ID (which is my email) and it will not let me go back and change it. It only will allow me to enter in a password. Any ideas? I cannot see anywhere to reset it. Thank you!
My experience is the same as BlaStar's. From the moment I bought my AppleTV in September up until two days ago, I could watch summer league and preseason game highlights by selecting the NBA icon in Apple TV and then selecting Game Highlights, Now, when I select Game Highlights, I get a message reading, "NBA is unavailable. Try again later."
(@ Brian Cook4: The icon is there and the other selections (standings, etc.) go where they're supposed to. It's just game highlights that has stopped working.)
I have a ticket open with NBA League Pass. They tried to close it with a canned reply about how League Pass doesn't include preseason games. I reopened it by observing that the reply was nonresponsive to the question - which is about the now-disappeared ability to watch game highlights, not the never-present ability to watch preseason games. -
Hi there
I currently have a 1st gen. Apple TV (the white box) and I'm really happy with it. I was thinking of upgrading to the latest version of ATV only because I noticed that I can watch NBA games (if I have a subscription at the NBA League Pass service). I do however have some questions:
1) I leave in Greece. Will I be able to watch NBA on the new ATV or is the service restricted to us located users only?
2) Could I upgrade my current ATV's OS in order to be able and stream NBA content (asuming that I have a possitive answer from q1 above) and so save money from upgrading to the new ATV?Unlikely. Not all apps are available in all regions.
More likely it would still require using the app on the device and then using AirPlay mirroring sending the video to the ATV.
