Need suggestions: How do I watch the Blazers this coming season?

I dont know if using streams is just that, but I use streams

 

You can watch on your computer or phone or stream to your tv like NB said.

 

I just stream that shit. I know it's not the "moral" thing to do, but I've yet to see a cable/sattellite company with anything resembling morals. The sad thing is, I'd be totally down to pay a fair price to watch games, but unfortunately there aren't any decent options out there where im not getting dicked over by blackouts and other bullshit. Everytime i try to sign up for something "legit" i get fucked over. Maybe when they start losing money they will introduce some decent options.

 

Damn I love you!!!!

 

it's not pirating if you are watching through a live stream

 

What does this mean? What is a LIVE stream?

 

I went through NBA.com last year and liked the option of watching the games on my computer or Iphone. for $110.00 for the season.
If I missed a game I could watch an abbreviated version later that night. The only black outs for me were the games on NBA TV.

 

I'd say you ARE doing the moral thing here. Being amoral in an immoral world is the purest form of morality.

 

Can this get local channels?

 

That's a pretty good option! What is an abbreviated game? Do you get all the game action and the time outs and dead time are deleted, or is the game edited down to be more like an extended highlight reel?

 

No. Get an HD antenna and you can get all the local channels in HD for free.

 

I also have League Pass Broadband. The abbreviated games are like 10-12 minutes long, show about 70-80% of game action but remove all timeouts, commercials, and IIRC the player dribbling the ball up the court unless there was a fast break bucket. They provide a really good option if you don't want to watch the full game. 9 times out of 10 I watch the abbreviated game if I've missed the game live.

 

Cool - thanks for the info! If I decide to pay to watch games, I think this will be my option. I kinda like having to go over to a friend's or a bar to watch the game - if I can watch all of them at home, I'll end up watching most and not having time to do other things. But if there's a 10 minute option that's kinda the best of both worlds!

 

I have one. It blows goats...

 

Prob gonna go with PS Vue Core. It has CSN/NBA/NFL networks.

 

Mine is awesome. Which one do you have?

 

NFL Redzone has also been added to PSVue, which is pretty dope.

You can also watch PSVue on your phone.

 

Yeah, I've streamed for a long time. But I now have a little bit of expendable income and I'm sick of bad quality streams / streams going offline.

Also, the last time I streamed a game, Comcast literally cancelled my account the same day. They said they didn't know why my account got shut down, but uh, yeah.

 

PlaystationVue, as Nate and a few others have discussed. No blackouts, no contracts, high quality, cheaper than a cable subscription (and did I mention no contract?). Watch on your PC, or a streaming device. I haven't tried it on my phone, but apparently it's another option. Another nice feature is that if you try watch streaming content at ESPN that requires a cable subscription, your PSVue account will give you access.

It's good. It's not as cheap as it used to be, but I've had zero complaints.

EDIT: If you live out of state, then I have no idea if CSN is going to be available to you via PSVue. Check the channel lineup before you buy.
