    It's great that there are workarounds - but there's a large segment of the population that don't understand how to work devices like Chromecast. My Dad already has to call me just to find what channel the game is on when it's not on CSNNW.

    Do you have LP or LP broadband? Are you watching on a computer or a device? I just got a roku so we'll see what it's like, but I have my laptop hooked up via HDMI during games. LP BB is pretty decent in terms of lagging. I'm almost always right in front of twitter

    I don't care. The NBA is 99% unwatchable for me anyway.

    I'm only here for the sparkling conversation and chicks.

    While probably annoying for him, its just what the times are. Its a step in the right direction and its the only viable alternative to get everyone the games at this time. Dont just blame comcast, directv wont even agree to pac 12 network.

    It sucks. I feel for you. I wish you could watch games cause i miss you posting with us. But it just is what it is. Hopefully they come to agreement with dish or directv, whichever one you have so you can watch more games.

    I like how the Blazers apparently are satisfied with 55%

    I think I'm most peeved that I had 15 or so before that I could at least watch on KGW, and the 3 or so on TNT so that helped. But somehow I got even less with with this lol.

    Yeah a deal would be nice. And hopefully it will happen, but at this point I'm not holding my breath. Hopefully CHold was right on the twitters when he said its strongly incentivized to get deals done. Or something to that sort.

    My wife's text to me "maybe this is the year you get into Hockey" lolz at least she knows what to say when I'm annoyed. :)

    I'd venture to guess the Dodgers brand holds a lot more clout than Blazers. I'm interested to see how this turns out in the future when most of a (% of a) generation has little to no ties with the team due to not being able to follow them. At some point you have to weigh the cost for growing your brand and keeping people invested for future generations.

    I suspect that the % of fans who are going to get that service are pretty small.

    Sooooo, they shouldnt complain then. Because they have a service, accessible to them, for $30ish a month, with no contract, to watch the games.

    So if they dont want the service, and dont get comcast..... i guess they arent really that invested in the blazers to begin with.

    The Warriors had about 8 or so years of Southern Oregon exclusively to themselves, and now that they're going to probably be a dynasty Portland has completely lost this region, especially with the Californian transplants.
