Notice TRAIL BLAZERS ANNOUNCE NEW TELEVISION BROADCAST PARTNERSHIP WITH ROOT SPORTS

Again its not the signal. It had nothing to do with your or any other teams broadcast. Its the stream on apps like PlayStation or roku or apple tv. It dies and forces you to reenter passwords every ten minutes. And no its not crappy internet when it dies while you have nearly a gigabyte per second download speed. When I talked to nbalp support, the guy himself said he hates their product and how amateurish it is and offered me a refund on the spot because of all the complaints.

 

My experience is with their web app and their apps on mobile/fire TV/streaming sticks etc. If you're watching through an add on with your cable provider that's almost an entirely different product.

You can just google customer complaints about league pass and you will find a ton of information. Here's an example:



And yes, this is anecdotal, but when anecdotal experiences match my experience over the course of over a 5-6 years of me of paying for the service, then I'm more inclined to think the product is crap.

Once I went Youtube TV, I haven't gone back to league pass, so it's possible they may have fixed some of their shit over the years. I guess I'll find out since now I don't have much of a choice.

 

I think LPs problem is stemming from these increased security measures to prevent illegal streaming to be honest. That, and ads.

If they didn't spend all their efforts having to encrypt their streams and show a commercial at every opportunity, we wouldnt be having these issues

 

Ah so it seems it’s WHAT you are streaming it on. So it’s a Roku/FireStick/XBOX problem. Got it. It’s just when you post that the NBA’s streaming services suck, I got confused. DirecTV is dialed and has it figured out. Not one issue in almost 20 years.

 

I'm certain they have shitty developers or lack enough of them.

I'm a software engineer for a company that mainly runs a pretty popular mobile app. We have over 600 developers and I still think our product is kind of crap. I can't imagine what the NBA is dealing with in their engineering department. It's hard to attract good talent in this space, especially if you're not in the bay area.

 

Smh

When Netflix dies your smart tv, do you blame netflix for failing to integrate the product on the platform or the tv manufacturer? You have it backwards.

Wtf is the point of the NBA app and NBA even offering a streaming option if it doesnt work.

News flash. Most of the nba consumers are not boomers and are cord cutters. Not everyone has sattelite and cable anymore

 

No it IS the NBA's problem. Their engineers are the ones that work on the apps that run on Roku/Fire/PS etc. They need to integrate with the APIs that are exposed by the companies that own the Roku/Amazon etc., but the servers and services are all written by the NBA's own developers...who suck.

 

I use youtube more than any other sites on my computer pretty much....my wife loves it for Taiwanese programing..the streaming is really stable...I'll probably subscribe to it next season we just watch it with the ads you have to click off for now.. I'm going to start a channel there and have fun with it ...

 

Why are you so angry son? I was just telling you my experience. You should be happy right now..... Stotts got canned and you now have been given information on a way to stream the games. Now go get your coach you wanted.

 

Not angry. But its the same argument youve been making for a while now. That it isnt the leagues responsibility. It very clearly is.

A tree stump could coach better than stotts so I'm thrilled. Dont worry.

And I’ve been saying the same thing for YEARS......the signal is leaving the broadcasts trucks from the arena clean......the league is getting them and shooting them out clean.....it’s the device you are streaming them through that is the issue. Exactly why I’ve stayed with directv for 20 years....no issues. On the box at home, or streaming on my devices.

 

Oh how quickly we will find out huh?

 

If you have Comcast, you get Root Sports.

 

Methinks you don't understand how app development works.

It's not the cameramans fault. It's not the team's sending the signal's fault.

It's the NBA's own developers.

 

Obviously not. But I can tell you that if I had the issues you’d been having, I’d try a different option.

 

Yeah, that is exactly why I went to Youtube TV for the last two years. Hence why I (and seemingly many others) are not happy about the Blazers taking away that option.

 

Bro it’s not that big of a deal. Had about 5 friends text me today telling me they shut down their YouTubeTV and went with ATT. Embrace the change, support your team. Save all your anger for the new coach.
