    If anyone was able to watch this game on Blazervision are you able to fast forward on the replay?

    I don’t think it was available. At least when I tried.

    It wasn't on Blazervision last night, but I couldn't pause or rewind last nights game on league pass.

    I don't remember if that was an issue last time I used LP.

    The ONLY way you can watch a game on BlazerVision is if the BLAZERS broadcast the game. Last night they did NOT.

    Everybody is talking about LP and seeing it or not seeing it. Every version of LP is different. YouTubeTV/FUBO/Ixfinity/Dish/DirecTV

    So when people say they are seeing it on LP, it really depends what system you are using. I’ve had DirecTV for 25 years and the LP on it since ‘99. Last night it wasn’t available….Detroit vs PHX was of course…..and other games. Just not our Blazers. Preseason LP is sometimes a crapshoot. Not sure why you couldn’t pause or rewind, other than that was the version they were letting people free preview.

    Which is interesting when you hear people bitch about the signal strength and DVR functions on LP…..totally depends on how you are watching it.

    I have never had an issue with signal strength/DVR functions are top notch on DirecTV. My son watches his thru his PS5 and it sucks. HOW you are watching is the biggest factor.

    What? So now you’re going to act like you know things about broadcasting and video quality? Next you’re going to start talking about replays during the game and stuff?

    OK, do you know if a fast forward feature will be available on the game replays? and are any of the upcoming preseason games on Blazervision?

    Once again FAMS……WHAT service are you using to watch? They aren't all the same. The controls of your system, has nothing to do with BlazerVision, or Blazers Broadcasting. It all comes down to what service you have. FUBO/Ixfinity/Dish all have different functions.

    I live in Bend so with no Sinclair local station there is no free OTA broadcast, would have to use Blazervision, and it's really hard for me to watch a full game live with all the commercials and stuff. I do have Fubo now and may cancel because I primarily used it for Blazers and tennis channel. So I can switch to whichever service allows FF or just use Blazervision directly on my Roku if it FF's that way

    Yeah so all BlazerVision is, is a channel that you can receive our broadcast. It’s up to you, the viewer to decide how to capture that signal. Over the air antenna is just basically a receiver like an old fashioned home stereo receiver. You will have to buy/pay for some sort of DVR service if you want to record/FF/Rewind. Not different than any other channel.
    My family as DirecTV customers will only be able to record the games on Channel 2 KATU. I believe after January 1st they will slide over to the Univision channel, but until them the charge channel just isn’t available without rabbit ears, so no recording.

    Hope that helps.

    There is something that @Phatguysrule was talking about. Basically a DVR you can buy on Amazon that you can hook up to your rabbit ears and you will be able to record the games. That might be an option for you. There are a bunch out there.

    This will work if you can get over the air with an antenna.

    Otherwise I'd suggest YouTube TV which should have everything after January.

    Until then, just casting a pirate stream to your TV might get you by.

    The "SuperBox" @THE HCP was talking about is another great option, but you don't have DVR functionality.

    Good news.
    The KATU+ channel will be available on DirecTV and Fubo.

    That super box that my son has can go back 7 days, wonder if he did something special for that to happen. Need to do more research!

    I think that's only on specific channels and events... But I could be wrong.

    Though, I would assume that would cover most sporting events.

    Just something to verify before you drop a few hundred bucks on a box.

    Assume their eventually going to figure out a way to show this OTA in Bend? One of the best areas of the state but not listed on their maps;

    upload_2024-10-16_20-37-36.png

    Funny that Harney county which goes down all the way south and touches Nevada but is listed as part of Portland while Bend (Deschutes county) is totally excluded.
