NBA league pass just dropped for Xbox live

[Digga38]

App sucks so far. It randomly stops playing (shyt goes to a black screen, and you have to go back and re-select the game you wanna watch), and the feed stutters during the game. It's now currently playing for the longest amount of time uninterrupted, and it's been about 10 minutes.

The commercials it shows (for NBA League Pass and other NBATV shyt) play/look perfectly though

sounds like a local feed issue

League pass question:


Is there a way to watch your home team games?

Seems like every Bulls game falls into the blackout category.

just like how it works on nba tv. If a team like the knicks are playing, the game will be blacked out on nba tv/xbox so that MSG can broadcast the game and get all the viewers.

and they black you out by determining your location via service provider?

this is useless for me unless I get free cable w/ MSG in my next apt

Having issues again. Just turned it off for now.

And it's not the local feed, cause it was still working on the TV, and when the screen goes black it says some shyt about how the video is not available, to check xbox.com/status.

And my internet is fast, so that's not the problem. Hopefully these are just pre-season bugs that have to worked through. Didn't have any issues with MLB.TV on either the 360 or PS3

With all this black out talk I might need to finally setup a vpn

You don't cable to watch the Bulls games. All you need is local cable.

You can get WGN, WCIU, and Comcast Sportsnet on the local channels. I'm not paying for cable and I have all of these channels.

I am paying for Comcast internet, but that's it. No cable package at all, shyt comes through in HD and everything.

It claims it doesn't support VPN:

What determines a broadband blackout?

A broadband blackout is determined by the zip code location associated with your Internet Service Providers (ISP) account. Our system uses this information to confirm your location and to restrict access to regionally televised and national televised games.

For example: If a customer lives in California and purchased his subscription there; then traveled to Michigan, he would be blacked out in Michigan.

We do not support the use of VPN (Virtual private network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), internet accelerators (Web accelerator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), or proxies (Proxy server - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). VPNs, internet accelerators or proxies make users look like they are in a different location than they actually are. Note that the google web accelerator (HTMLCounter.com) is an example of a service which will result in incorrect blackouts,

You can verify your IP location by going to What Is My IP Address? Lookup IP, Hide IP, Change IP, Trace IP and more....

Also seen someone on a forum say that they didn't have ANY blackouts on mobile devices (phones/iPad), but CPU/TV were blacked out. Guess we'll see come opening day.

you need cable/satellite for Comcast Sportsnet and thats the channel that plays the majority of games

*Brushes it off*

If you are already paying for League Pass(For My Computer)Is there any extra charges on Xbox?

What internet provider do you have?

I'm telling you, I'm not paying for cable, but I have Comcast internet. All I did was plug in the coaxial cable that was lying around and I have local cable, and Comcast Sportsnet is one of the channels.

Just try plugging in the coaxial cable to your TV and scan for channels and see what pops up.



I didn't always get Comcast Sportsnet, it just started coming on my TVs a few months ago. I think their business with NBC put them back on local cable, I don't know... all I know is I'm getting all the Bulls games for free.
