Any tips on watching the game for out of staters?

I live in Seattle now and when games are shown on KGW in Portland they are not shown on CSNNW so basically I don't get to watch them. I usually listen to the game on radio or skp it all together in these cases which will be about 10 or 15 games this year. What do other Oregon refugees usually do for these games? Thanks a lot in advance for your help. Go Blazers!

I went to NBA broadband and signed up.

It looks like they have a seven team only deal for $90. I missed that and purchased teh full league at 135ish.

Apart from that, check the game day thread and there might be other links with crappy resolution and lag that are free. Those who are in the black out area without comcast tend to use that.

"Fernandez, to my eyes, is the Blazer who walks that walk most comfortably. A lot of Portland's fans (egged on, dare I say, by their local broadcasters) lament things like how Ron Artest or Yao Ming get to hit Brandon Roy's arms.

But I suspect Fernandez sees all that and thinks: We get to hit arms! Cool!"

NBALP Broadband currently is having a free preview.

Worth the $80 to see the scores and the players, and well, the game for that matter. Sometimes those pirate feeds get blurry, choppy, laggy and pixelated. And the ones that don’t get found out by the NBA and send to Guantanamo Bay.

Hey i was in the same boat as you.

Thankfully there is hope. If you have comcast cable (and i assume you do since you get CSNNW) tonights game will be on channel 115 (in my channel guide it just says “us”) I think that King 5 picked up the KGW games in seattle and is broadcasting them on their sports network, channel 115.

THIS IS AWESOME

Everyone was very helpful but this is the early Christmas present I was looking for. Now between KING, CSNW, TNT, and ESPN Blazers in Seattle can watch every game (I think).

Yep

Just watched it on this station, as well. Now we just have to convince Comcast to start broadcasting CSNW in hi-def up here. Seriously, the channel bares their name, so how hard can it be?

I watched the KGW game on LPBB and I'm 90 miles away -- so it should be possible to get on LPBB until Nov. 3 and see last night's game for free on their "archive"...

I watched the first 3 quarters again last night before I went to sleep. Grrrrrrreat.

4th Q? Not so much.
