    Yes, it was great to be able to watch the game on my big screen TV instead of my small computer monitor. I'm going to hate that when the season starts.

    No all Blazers game on league pass are being blacked if they are on CSNW. It doesn't pay to subscribe to league pass in you live in Oregon or SW Washington. I would buy LP right now if they would show the Blazer games.

    Yep. Every single game is on comcast or is on a national broadcast. I'm liking that quite a bit.

    I was thinking about this earlier. Why don't you guys all just get the LeaguePass. It isn't a problem for me because I am very Rich and Successful, but it's only $169! Don't buy a few of your gay-ass video games you nerds are always talking about and watch the game in HD with your hot wife on the couch like me!

    All those Blazers games are blacked out on LP. I think most or a lot of us would pay the $169 in a heart beat if they were not blacked out.

    So if the game is being shown on Comcast regardless of it's at home or on the road, the LeaguePass feed is blacked out locally?

    Yes, that is correct. There is no way to watch the Blazers once the Blazer games are on CSNW except internet video streams on your computer. That is why everyone is upset with Comcast.

    Damn man, I'm sorry! You should move to Portland and get Comcast. I hate Comcast also, we have Dish!

    If I was in Portland or anywhere Comcast is available I would subscribe to the cheapest Comcast package that had CSNW. I still would keep Directv though. I only can get Charter Paul Allen's cable company and they don't carry CSNW either.

    From the research I've done the cheapest package that carries CSNW costs $55.40 a month. Most likely you are committed to 6 months maybe 12 months. That's over $330 bucks. Can't afford that and Directv too.

    That is a lot but I would probably end up with both Comcast and Directv. I think I have a little less then 1 year on my contract with Directv. I keep adding free stuff from Directv which causes another contract. I would maybe hope I would only have to do that for this year and maybe by next year CSNW would be on Directv.

    Jesus, Comcast sucks ass.

    Comcast drones if you are reading this, know that your "popularity" among Blazer fans is LOW. Very, very low.

    Do you suits sit around thinking of ways you can PISS off your customer base - you know - just for shits and giggles?

    We should have a thread all about the Comcast situation that can be updated if anybody hears anything.

    It would be a pretty short thread. I haven't heard much new about the Comcast problem in a long time.:sigh:

    It would get buried on the board and if you stickied it it would jus take up space for no reason.
