Can't watch NBA League Pass with 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.

  • Somewhat new to technology - how to best setup my HDTV & MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) for NBA League Pass?

    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?

  • Anyone with nba league pass getting the raptors celtics game?

    do you have to sign up for nba league pass to get the preseason games? i dont want to sign up if i cant GET TO WATCH ALL MY CELTICS PRESEASON GAMES. iN PREVIOUS YEARS WITH VERIZON THEY WOULD TURN ON THE CHANNELS  for people on auto renewel automatically. but they are not turned on this year. and i'm missing a game tonight!!

    the only preseaon games i have seen are on nba tv  or my local reginal sports network,but in previous years iwe always got other games on nba leagye pass during the pre season. Directv  and to my knowledge have the preseason games on the nba league pass. I'm dissapointed with verizon for not  showing these games i dont even get any  screen on those channels. I think somebody screwed up and forgot to turn on the channels and the CSRs are cluless when you call and compain! after 4 years of being with verizon their customer service relations  employees still think that the NBA CHANNEL IS THE NBA LEAGUE PASS!!!!

  • TS1424 Bought NBA league pass and not enabling me to watch videos

  • Why is NBA TV not offered with NBA League Pass?

    I was sort of upset to hear that NBA TV is in fact not included with NBA League Pass. Everywhere I read said that it was and two verizon reps. told me it was until finally I reached tech. support and they said it wasn't. When I had direcTV and Comcast, NBA TV was infact bundled with league pass. Does anyone know what the cheapest possible way to get NBA TV would be? (i.e. cheapest package.)?
    Thanks.

    I think the lowest price package with nba tv is the exterme pack.,maybe you should call or email some one at nba tv, because i also remember when i was with directv i got nba tv with the nba league pass, because i didnt have the package it came with ,but at the end of the season directv would remove nba tv,Then when the season started they would automatically add it again.It sucks that verizon makes you pay extra to get because i think nba tv is included with nba  league pass. go to nba .com and check it out i thought read somewhere on there website a while back that nba tv is included!

  • What In The World Is Going On With NBA League Pass Not Being In HD

    I just read a article posted on Dec 21 about "Indemand" recentrly upgrading their systems to carry more content in HD.
    http://sportsvideo.org/main/blog/2011/12/21/in-demand-upgrades-comcast-media-center-control-room/
    The upgrade was supposed to effect NBA League Pass in providing the game in HD rather than just having one HD Channel. But last night I noticed on Fios that nothing has changed. I was looking forward to buying NBA league Pass this year but I refuse to pay the same fee that other cable systems like AT&T Uverse & Direct Tv are charging top carry league pass in HD in comparison to Standard Def Fios is providing me. 
    I have been following this forum and news on other sites and have yet to see Verizon Fios put out any Press Release about NBA League Pass.
    What is going on!!?!?!!?!

  • NBA League Pass

    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.

  • Review NBA league pass in NZ

    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.
