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.

  • 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.

  • Been looking for NBA League Pass for a long time - anybody got any positive news ?

    I bundled FIOS TV with Verizon back in the summer (2008) -
    I dropped DIRECTV because I was assured Verizon FIOS TV carried NBA League Pass -
    Well it is 20 games into the season now and still no NBA League Pass on Verizon FIOS TV (at least not in Northern Va)
    3 weeks ago the channel guide from "MENU" on the FIOS TV remote control says NBA Channels "Coming soon" for channels 1490 to 1499 or so.
    I have called Verizon at the 1-888 and 1-800 #s several times and questioned what is going on but nobody seems to knows anything ,
    I even got an email from a Verizon store on November 18 that stated
    "The NBA package went active on Saturday. If we can assist you in placing your order to make it go as smooth as possible please let us know".
    Does anybody know what is going on ?
    I think I have been patiently waiting way too long .
    I hate to have to get DIRECTV or Dishnetwork on just one TV , (I bundled because I was trying to save money) but .....
    Thanks for any info ,
    Signed,
    Extremely frustrated with Verizon

    sorry I have not replied sooner but I have not checked the "forum" since I went back to DirectTV on the big screen in the basement  so I could
    get NBA League Pass --
    Shortly after I posted my "issue" I finally got some accurate information (I believe) from Techman - who I think is a Verizon employee -
    anyway Techman seems to know more than anyone else I talked to with Verizon , and he said something about NBA LP might possibly be on Verizon
    TV  -by the end of January,  but nothing "set in stone" - so ...
    (I was  definitely tired of waiting way back in early November... know what I mean?)
    thanks again Techman for the info

  • 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.

  • NBA League Pass video stutter

    I recently purchased a new computer (AsRock e350m1 motherboard with 2GB RAM) mostly for high quality video (both streaming and video files). I have no problem with HD video files and even 1080p youtube videos but NBA League Pass high quality video streaming visibly stutters. As I know it's a Flash supported site I hope I can get some pointers to possibly improving streaming quality from this site. Can you help me in any way?

    How does the video play on this page? 
    http://www.nba.com/video/
    I don't have a league pass subscription so I'm unable to test this out directly.  I'll ask around though and see if someone on our team has one.  Have you tried different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, etc?)

  • 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!.

  • My apple tv will not authenticate my nba league pass login--I am in the United States and the same login/pw works for my iPad, but not for apple tv.

    My NBA League Pass login cannot be authenticated -- I am in the United States and the same league pass name and password are working for my iPad, but not for my apple tv.

    I have this same issue and am becoming quite upset. NBA has absolutely no contact information to call and resolve this issue. I just spent $139.99 and cannot connect to Apple TV, while the same login works just fine on my iMac and iPad. When I signed up, the information provided indicated that I could view live games on Apple TV. What the ****?

  • How to get refund on nba league pass mobile

    how do i get a refund of nba league pass mobile i bought on itunes

    "Should I complain on the phone and call the 800 #? Or go into a store?"
    The better methos is to go to the store, and demonstrate the problem.
    "Will they make this a pain in the a** for me?"
    If I was employed  by the Apple store, that would depend upon your attitude, and how well-mannered you are.

  • 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?

  • 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!!?!?!!?!

  • 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!
