    Seriously though. Times gonna fly and preseason will be here before i blink. I need to get this figured out! Like some of you as well it sounds like. Should we start a petition to the Blazers to get with a larger company with better access?
    Back to nbcnw or whatever it was? Would they even listen?

    I have them for internet. Their cable can eat a bag of dicks.

    Why does our team PUNK us when it comes to watching games????

    I had PS Vue... Gone
    I had Youtube TV... Gone...

    This is some bullshit...

    Got to figure with their best player having a contract with Hulu, they're not going to mess with that. Plus streaming is huge now. Most people i know are leaving comcast for good. I had Hulu in Springfield and watched all the games. The idea is to get the most people to view your product. Now that i'm back in Denver ( Lakewood), i will have to purchase League Pass again. But i will purchase the Blazers only option. It's cheaper.

    question is, will it be recordable or savable to watch in a delayed fashion? I havent been able to find a clear answer on that one yet.

    no idea....I'll be catching most of the season on AM radio myself...not a TV guy at all..I watch the condensed games the next day online and watch TNT games online live...occassionally I'll go to a pub and catch a game if it's safe to do that these days...since I was a kid I've followed most sports on the radio...old habit..I can visit my son and he has all the cable accounts, etc....

    Update:

    found some relevant news here:


    https://theathletic.com/news/root-s...-alternatives-to-cable-satellite/DevJqKwI20m5

    @MickZagger to answer your question about games at the same time, root mentioned an overage channel provided by the cable and tv providers. So there must be a root and a root 2 channel or something.


    from all the research ive done so far i havent found anything indicating any streaming deal will be done prior to tip off this season.

    So the only options are cable, satellite and at&t.

    This is not good…….

    Root does seem to be growing though, and now with them having major sports all year around, they should be branching out eventually. Just not likely for this year it sounds like.

    I hope you’re right, but I read this part and I’m not sure stuff like that is taken into consideration. Back when Comcast garbage started, CSN or whatever it was called wasn’t even an option on Spectrum (Charter at the time) and that was owned by Paul Allen and still didn’t have Blazers on it. But like you said streaming is bigger now. So hope something gets worked out, but won’t hold my breath.

    I was about to make a smart-ass comment about your wife not letting you “use her utilities”. Then I realized the reference was to your mom and, EWW!
