    These are serious questions from an old person, so be kind

    I have 7 tv's in my house. I have DVR service to 4 of them. Does vue offer the same HD, recording, pausing, etc that my cable box and league pass does? Can I literally pause the game in the living room and watch the rest in my media room or whatever without unhooking and rehooking shit up?

    There for a few years, I got the Blazers on LP, because I lived outside the the 180 mile perimeter. But the past three year, it doesn't work, the Blazer games are blacked out, so is SAC and the Warriors. I get the Warrior and Comcast bay area, so that will be the only Blazers games next season except what is on National TV minus NBA TV. No since buying LP so no NBA TV. HA! They black out the Blazer games on NBA TV anyway since it is available on Comcast, doesn't matter if you can't get Comcast.

    I can't really answer that question. I haven't personally used Vue even though I know people who have and I've never even had a DVR. I've just used Chromecast and Roku so I know it's not difficult to play apps/channels on them.

    My parents live 10 miles outside of Salem on a farm. They can't get high speed internet or cable, their only TV option is Dish/Direct and Internet is also satellite, but satellite internet you have a cap like data plans for phones. So you would have to literally pay hundreds of dollars a month to stream games.

    Now they go and even remove KGW games, so they are not actually worse off with the new deal.

    Fuck you Blazers. I'm sick of this shit.

    Yeah, my parents should just just leave the farm that has been in the family for 100+ years so they can get games/better internet.

    I don't do satellite, but I see Hughesnet offers internet access at 5 to 15 mbps depending on the plan you buy. I know it's not cheap, but that's certainly fast enough for streaming. http://www.hughesnet.com/

    Better than selling the farm. ;)

    I thought I read that they are continuing their partnership with KGW... did reading fail me again?

    This year will be the last year that some of the games are available on KGW.

    You just described life. And before people think I'm just being morose, really think about it. The amount and quality of pleasure you experience is minuscule when compared to the amount and quality of non-pleasure you feel. We, as a species, have a greater sense of pain than pleasure. Imagine the most intense pleasure you can possibly imagine. Now imagine the most intense pain you can possibly imagine. Would you trade 10 minutes of that pain for an hour of pleasure? My guess is you wouldn't.

    Fortunately for me, I get more joy than pain from basketball.

    Obviously, you haven't had Sheed and Bonzi taking aim at your junk lately.

    Data caps :( they severely throttle you down after passing their cap. Which usually is quite small. Like dish satellite is a 10 gb data limit (wtf) I don't recall what Hughesnet cap is though.
