I'm closer to Portland than most of Oregon (just across the river in Vancouver). It's 13 minute drive to attend a game in person....and yet, I either can't get all the games via streaming (Fubo, no TNT), or I have to hunt all over to find the back up channel that the Blazers might be on behind the Kraken game which is a 3 hour drive away. So for the first time in my adult life, I'm not watching Blazer games. I listen to the radio, watch highights, and sadly feel no huge level of being deprived from seeing basically the same team/result that I've bled crimson over for years.
It amazes me after the years (decades?) of backlash over Comcast that they not only didn't do something BETTER than comcast, but they actually went out and got something WORSE than Comcast. This front office is trash. They don't care about the fans. They don't care about their product. They care about the bottom line, and that seems to be it. Not winning. Not making the fans happy. Just the bottom line.
I keep getting blacked out and have to record the replay and try not to hear anything about the game or glance down to the bottom of the screen and see the damn score. And I have Root Sports. It's definitely getting worse for Oregonians. But better for people out of state maybe? That gives me no comfort, dawg.
With the tv provider I have, no. And I'm not just blaming them. The Blazers and Root Sports are as much to blame for this horse shit.
I haven't been able to watch or record a single game that has been broadcast on NBA TV. And I have Root.
I don't work for the Blazers and I have not missed a game yet? Seems like all the people trying to find a "Extremely Cheap" or "Free" way to watch the Blazers are the ones complaining. Either they are worth paying for or they aren't. Like i have posted a number of times on different threads. My bill is reasonable and it's the same as last year. Hasn't even gone up. I get every game without problems.
You didn't see the two posters above who don't get all of the games (Fubo) and that actually have Root and can't watch? It's easier to stream it for free than it is to pay for it... They made that choice, not me.
Sounds like you have an issue with your provider if you are losing the signal. Have you reached out to them. No games should have been blacked out.
You are shocked that I'm not cracking on the people that pay my mortgage and put my son through college?
Your comment was not tagged to anyone in particular so it seemed as though it was a general comment directed toward the discussion. I have been in this discussion for most of the thread. If you don't like the sound of the response that is not my problem and if you want your statement to be left alone maybe don't make it? If you are directing your comment at someone then do so. Now back to the discussion. You don't have to be paid by the Blazers to be happy with the coverage the way it is. I don't even live in Portland. If they want to find a way to further expand the coverage and make it so even more people have access that would be great also. I'm all for it. Just quit pirating everything and making it more expensive for those of us who are actually paying for it. The very reason it's so hard to stream well is BECAUSE people are trying to steal it. Figure this out and you may understand my stance here.
Make no mistake. If you are stealing the coverage it is YOUR choice. Yes you made it. Call your provider and figure out how to get all the games. It's not that hard.
LMAO! Watching a freely available stream is hardly stealing. Why in the hell would I put myself in the position of having to talk to assholes like Comcast? Then deal with them jacking pricing on me and having to talk to them again. So much easier to just click on the stream and enjoy. That's 100% their choice.
Firstly, your ability to gauge sarcasm is truly impressive. Second, you don't have to crack on your employer, but do you really need to shill for them?
You mean, Fubo? Why are you casting from phone? Just get a Roku, Firestick, or watch on your phone or computer.
