Blazers Edge League Pass?: Something to think about for the impending season

....the account was from someone out of the blackout area. Don’t know about the legality

But that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s illegal. Copyright holders usually assert more rights than the law actually gives them. Realistically, you probably couldn’t get a definite answer without getting sued and going through several appeals.

if someone gets league pass and wants $20 bucks and is willing to send me their nba.com info then I would definitely do it

hit me up as I dont even own a tv so take pity on me.

although it would be better if this was orchestrated through a different web site so as to not hurt the credibility of the blog.

For the tech folks? If 3 rural households want to go in together and get all the games,it looks like the suits have us by the short hairs and we are screwed or are we just to dumb to figure it out?

We would have one main holder who has Comcast HD/Verizon Fios TV with the works, HBO, Showtime, Starz, Cinemax and most importantly CSNW. The HD will help as it will creat a better signal going out, it would also help if they lived in Gresham of Hilsboro as there is acces to Verizon Fios and a 5mps upload speed.

Go here and read about the slingbox,

http://slingmedia.com/

and what the plan would be is this. The slingbox allows only one person to log on to it at once so multiple slingboxes would be needed, as well as a cable box for each slingbox.
You hook the cable box up to the slingbox, and then the slingbox into the internet and you have all the channels that the holder has on your computer.

The stream is not the best quality, but paying $20-30/mo for comcast with the works and CSN would be worth it. Also if they can get Verizon fios 15mbs DL/5mps UL they could also get Verizon Fios TV and would be able to get CSNW also. So the price would be as follows:

Comcast/Verizon fios tv package

$100/mo

Fios/Cable internet

$60/mo

4 extra cable boxes

$30-40

total $200/mo

Keyholder pays $100/mo for mega cable package and 15mps internet speed and the others pay $25/mo for the same package and CSNW. We would have to come up with 4-5 slingboxes which are $75-100 but it could be done.

Now what is the over/under for this getting deleted?? By 12 tonight??

and couldn’t find any terms of service agreements that say that having 100 users on your NBA TV online account is illegal…that doesn’t mean it’s legal, but if I can’t find something with Google, I highly doubt it’s on the internet—period.

DO NOT plug your computer into your TV via S-Video cable if you have a high def TV!

lol all of last year I subjected myself to plugging into my TV via S-video…wayyyy fuzzier than using the computer monitor cable. Use the monitor out if you have it…and save yourself some pain.

Why subject Dave to the risk of a lawsuit? Why jeopardize the credentials he worked so hard to acquire (remember the NBA controls these rights and the Blazers are NBA). Why not set up an email account on Gmail and post that address so everyone who wants to pursue this and similar subjects can get emails to each other?

That blew big time, though I kind of enjoyed the chat function at Justin.tv (when the chatroom was not full of idiots screeming KOBE > MJ, posting in languages I don’t understand and stuff like that). But it’s unreliable, often buffering behind the actual game and you never know if everything will work or if the channel will get shut down before or during the game. P2P TV with a few of these Chinese programs was even worse, and way too complicated.

So my point is, I would be completely willing to pay some money if I knew I get a reliable solution with good quality (by Internet standards) that doesn’t get shut down without notice (NBA, ESPN, TNT, whatever).

bdinwiddie, then the number 77, at gmail

would love to be informed and will help if possible
