Inquiry - TNT streaming for tonight's game?

by dcblazer on Oct 29, 2009 1:08 PM PDT

Sorry for the post because I think this falls more under a FanShot but I feel as though I've searched everywhere with no luck. I've also looked through recent posts and shots and didn't see anything.

I'm an NBA broadband subscriber and can pick up the other games via 360 when on ESPN but does anyone know if there is a legit link for TNT broadcasts of the NBA?

Thanks, DCB

PS - I should also note that I'm inquiring for folks outside of the Blazer broadcast area.

Only if you ghet ESPN 360

Which is probably in the top 5 most evil sites on the internet. Never support ESPN 360.

Okay I'll watch a couple games there, but I'll also send them an envelope of poo in the mail.

That should make it fair.

Yeah

Now that Comcast carries them, they are great. Streaming quality is absolutely top class.

I am an oasis of Blazer fandom in a bleak desert of Laker fans.

Sorry I'm late.

I also have tons of typos on this netbook, sorry guys.

Link to wikipedia.

ESPN 360 is basically ESPN’s (And Disney’s) first attempt to turn the internet into cable tv pricing. They’re limiting access only to ISP’s who pay ESPN for the privilege. In the process, they pass that fee to all their users, even those users who don’t access the site.

If this keeps up, in time, you can expect to shop for an ISP based on the “premium web sites” they offer, as opposed to just paying for the sites you want. You’ll instead pay a big fee for a bunch of sites you don’t want. This is the first stage. They desperately want it to be successful, for people to put pressure on their ISP to add it. That will give other companies the wedge in the door, so they can do the same.

ESPN360 sounds great at first glance. But when you look behind the scenes, it really needs to fail.

(For the record, I indeed don’t get 360, I use an ISP that won’t give in to these tactics. If I did get ESPN 360, I’d specifically complain to my ISP about it)

as opposed to just paying for the sites you want

Re-reading that, I should detail what I mean. I mean “as opposed to simply making a payment to the specific web site for access.”

.....said the person who doesn't ghet ESPN360.

Yes! Yes! In the face!

Doesnt' look like it

Some games are on TNT “Overtime” which is free multiple camera live streaming but this doesn’t appear to be one of them.

Good to know how that worked

In the past it hasn’t seemed like TNT tried to alienate fans by searching for streams catering to the people who could not purchase their channel. I do support mailing poo to whichever human has the lack of morals required to search out the streams and shut them down. I’ve paid for LPBB and espn360. The entire blackout system is a complete and utter failure of broadcasting organizations to cater the American public.
