    You certainly would have to use a VPN every time to watch games. Also, the NBA and streaming sites block a lot of the big VPNs IP's so you'd have to find a little used IP from that country. As Sly said you likely need a Philippines or whatever currency account to pay. Yes as you say it'll slow down your internet. If you try to do something like this your basically violating the terms of your subscription with NBA league pass. Maybe you can trick their systems to do it, maybe it only works for a time then stops working. I guess I don't see whats any better about that than just trying to get illegal streams.

    Id rather just spend the $1 per game to watch the team in a legit manner. Or if your in a broadcast area just buy a Tablo type device you pay for and setup once and then its free to watch on your device any time and anywhere.

    In your situation I would either subscribe to Blazervision or buy Tablo type of device to record OTA and stream whenever/wherever you want.

    Thank you for your response esp for mentioning Tablo, I will look into it. Sounds like what I'm looking for

    Can anyone tell me how or where to find out how to watch the games in Central Oregon? We don't get the Portland KATU channel.

    I don't believe there is a Central Oregon option and your only choice is to subscribe to BlazerVision.

    Welp guess that frees up a lot of nights for me. If central Oregon doesn’t matter to the blazers, but Seattle and Yakima do, just goes to show how much they don’t really care about their fans.. No reason to watch them I guess.

    It has nothing to do with the Blazers not caring about Central Oregon. They had to work with a local broadcaster that was interested in carrying the Blazers and had multiple stations in the state of Oregon. The only one that meets that is Sinclair.

    Personally, Sinclair kinda sucks. You should be happy that you don't have them in Central Oregon.



    Now maybe one of your local stations will cut a deal with Sinclair but I don't know if that is a possibility.

    But, the Blazers did come up with a very fair option for everyone in the state of Oregon that has access to the internet. That is a HUGE improvement over what Blazer fans have had in previous years. You don't need Comcast, Dish, Root, whatever, you just need the internet and a few bucks a game.

    Be patient. Blazers will be on in Central Oregon soon.
    And you have the BlazerVision option.

    This is fucking ridiculous. I don't think I've missed a Blazers game in 25 years. If I want to continue to be a Portland Trail Blazers customer, the Blazers expect me to wade through 15 different scenarios and figure out which ones might work for me. Bullshit. If they want to sell me their product, they need to make it available to me through my TV provider so that all I have to do is turn on and tune in. I shouldn't have to attend a fucking seminar to figure out how to get the games in my local broadcast area. I'll be waiting in front of my TV. If the game is available, I'll watch it. If not, I'm not too old to find another hobby.

    Maybe I can help with Spectrum users. Just spent an hour on phone with customer service then sales and finally tech support. After all that channel 184 will carry the blazer games even though at the moment it does not show on the guide.

    :biglaugh: Wow that sure is a very entitled attitude.
    If your a fan you'll find a reasonable way to watch like the rest of us do and have.
    Hate to break it to you but the world doesn't revolve around you and what is easiest for you.
    It's VERY easy to watch the games this year. Almost all of us have several options to choose from which we haven't had in the past.

    You didn't need to spend an hour on the phone.
    Spectrum channel 184 is listed clearly here:

    Yes your info was helpful that’s what allowed me to identify the channel to spectrum. However it did not answer the guide issue with no blazer game or the charge associated with the post. At least with my package I have access to 184 channel and Spectrum did not indicate that there is an extra charge. Spectrum seem to clarify it’s just a guide mistake being missed

    If you go to Mrs @THE HCP's Only Fams account during the game she will be doing an interpretive dance after every Blazer score.

    You should see what she does when Clingan dunks!

    Blazervision was for sale 25 years ago, and it used to cost much more than the current ~$1/game.

    Still no details available for DirecTV customers FAMS. Says they’ll share them
    With us when available.

    I have no problem paying to watch games, if that's what you're getting at.
