    IF you have Direct TV and the NBA ticket... becareful when selecting a blazer game that you are gonna record. Wednesday when i went to record the pistons game.. there were 2 options. Im assuming our broadcasters and theirs. Anyway, theres really no way of knowing which is which. All its says is Pistons @ TrailBlazers. So i chose the first one. Well luckily I got to see the game because the one i chose was just a dead channel with no broadcast.

    My point... always check as close to the game as you can (same day) cause if you plan the schedule ahead.... they might wipe out one of the broadcasts. Like in this case... just the Pistons were offered. When i looked again on Wed night... there was only 1 option available. Just a heads up. Does anyone know any way to tell which broadcast is which without seeing the start of the game?

    Why do you care? You are happy as long as the Blazers lose right?

    I'm not sure if this has to do with the Comcast dispute, but rarely will they televise the Portland broadcast. And if they do, they never have the the HD broadcast. But if they do have both teams' broadcasts, the first set (non-HD and HD) is the home team. The second set is the road team. But with Portland games, there usually are only 3 options (opponent's non-HD and HD) and only one broadcast (usually non-HD) for Portland.

    I'm not sure if that makes sense or helps you.

    I'm with you man! Are you on COMCAST? I have been dealing with this for a month now! It is because the proof that NBA.COM is looking for that you have purchased the pass is on the statement that comes out on the 23rd!!!!!!!!!!! I complained and bitched to Comcast that I use this for work and they took a third of the cost off!

    I have DirecTV but just this week they switched our "Local Stations" to the Eugene stations supposedly because of an FCC rulling. I now have lost my KGW 8 Portland Station and can no longer get Comcast or KGW for any Blazer games. I have been a fan of the Blazers for 40 years and am now just trying to find a bar or someone in the Albany area that gets Channel 8 KGW portland. i have three calls into reletives to see if they have KGW on Comcast or am I ******out of luck.

    If "Shallow and Pedantic" is some kind of slur then that is what Comcast is!!!!!!!
