Sorry, this appears to be for NFL, not NBA.

Re: No Cable - No Problem. No NBA - Problem!
NFL is not a problem most games are on local channels, I only miss Monday and Thursday games.
So I tried ballstreams for a week and it is awesome. It is HD quality and way cheaper and has more options than league pass. The web feed is flawless but I do have some slight stuttering/lag every once in a while when using Plex and my PS3. I am still messing with the settings, but watching on my PC or on my Wii U browser (using the mobile site) is perfect.
If you don't have cable or are interested in League Pass for half the cost and every team's games I highly recommend ballstreams.com

I just go on wiziwig and find a stream torrent or acestream link. Its basically the same as that ballstream you're paying for, besides simplicity. At least it souds like it.SpaceBooger wrote:NFL is not a problem most games are on local channels, I only miss Monday and Thursday games.

Re: No Cable - No Problem. No NBA - Problem!
I was using wiziwig (flash links) and the youtube low quality bothered me. Plus there was no way to view that on my TV without lugging a computer upstairs (I have no laptop). I tried wiziwig but the adds, malware and pop-ups made the site not work on the Wii U, Wii, PS3 etc.stickem wrote:I just go on wiziwig and find a stream torrent or acestream link.

So, I'm not paying for simplicity I'm paying for superior HD quality that can be easily streamed to other devices. I also like the archived games to watch if I miss the live game.

I got ya. Does sound a bit easier. The pop ups were annoying, on the flash streams. I wasn't using the flash links. No pop ups on the p2p streams and quality was pretty dam good. May have to look into it though, sounds a bit more hassle free. Do they do ppv's?SpaceBooger wrote:I was using wiziwig (flash links) and the youtube low quality bothered me.

i joined the cord cutters last week,got netflix,hulu, ota. direct bill was 150. this antenna thing has drove me up the motherfucking wall, it's so trial and error. after installing this big ass antenna on my 2nd story roof (that was a bitch) ,i only had a few channels on 2 tv's, 0 on another. direct had half assed running my cable,4 splitters i removed. then i installed a signal amp. 1 tv had all the local channels, 1 short on another, 3 short on the 3rd. bought new cable because all mine had a few couplers in every run reducing signal. now got 2 perfect tv's and the other 1 channel short after adjusting the antenna position. i feel like clark griswald with the lights, this has just fucking fustrated me. this tv has a signal meter on it.i got 88% on a channel right the fuck next door to the station i'm missing.
