I tried to fight this battle for years while having DirecTV and none of the options are particularly good. After moving recently I decided to go the TiVo/Comcast route. That way I can keep costs low, get the channels I need, but have no Comcast boxes/dvrs/modems etc. TiVo with lifetime subscription can get costly, $400-$700 up front, but then you avoid paying monthly dvr, HD, and outlet fees to Comcast. So far I've been pretty happy with my decision.
I'm in the same boat and I have been thinking the same. I know that you can steam the games and I was told that the price wasn't to high. I was going to wait closer to when the season started to really check it out though.
Yeah, I was wondering myself about VPN and proxy servers and if anybody had tried this. I may have to look into this with NBA league pass and see if I can get it to work.
Why don't you get someone to make a Justin Tv account for this and make it private, sending the password out to people through pms? If you title it something different, than maybe no one would find out and shut it down?
I have never bought league pass, but I know with MLBTV, the MLB version of League Pass, it uses your GPS coordinates or ISP to locate where you are and determine if you are in a authorized/non black out area. I wouldn't be surprised if League Pass did the same thing.
If you get league pass it just blocks the Blazers games out if your in the Portland area. If you call Comcast I think the have a deal where you can view the games online though. As It's never bad to arm yourself with information even if you think you might already know the answer.
