Question about NBA League Pass

[Nashfan]

Just wondering if anyone else is having trouble receiving it right now? I ordered it at the earliest time they allow and now they are not allowing acsess to it. I know I received it all through the playoffs last year, so has it changed for anyone else? I live in Idaho now after living in Phoenix for twenty-one years and won't be able to get any of the games locally except for ABC, TNT and ESPN. Hopefully none of our games are on NBA League Pass but I would like to see post game interviews and see some of the other playoff teams that are scheduled on NBA League Pass. Any insight into this would be appreciated!

Aren't all the games on TV already?

Why would we need league pass if the games are on TNT/ESPN/ABC/NBAtv?


The post game interviews are available on NBAtv and on NBA.com on the web.

Methink he is mistaking NBATV for NBALP.

A-Bomb

Yeah Chaz is right. I think you might be mistaken about games being on league pass last year. League Pass never shows games that are nationally televised, or on NBATv.

If you have Leage Pass, you should still have NBATv, which means you will get all the post game stuff.

League Pass (meaning the actual games) is for the regular season only.

I have Dishnetwork and I chose America's Top 60 plus and apparently I don't get NBA TV. I called Dish and they said that you have to pay extra to extend the season even though last year I got everything thru June. I noticed Detroit and Mil. play tonight on NBA League Pass channel 560 here in Idaho so I don't know. They want to charge 5.99 a month extra just to receive what I got last year thru June. Is Direct TV any better or is it just NBA League Pass that dictates what they do? Thanks for all the responses!

I get NBATV year-round through DirecTV as part of my League Pass package, but I don't know whether that's true for all DirecTV or if it varies regionally (I live in the Los Angeles area).

Thanks elindholm, I just went to Dishnetworks website and if I'm reading it correctly, NBA TV is supposed to be part of the NBA League Pass subscription just like DirecTV. Can someone else go to the Dishnetwork site and click on programming and then click on sports and read what it says about NBA League Pass? Makes me feel like I'm nuts when I talk to the customer service representative at Dish! Thanks!

I also get NBATV year-round through DirecTV as part of my League Pass package. I get the package at our Colorado address so the Suns games are not blacked out. Most of the time the Nuggets games are blacked out on NBALP but DirecTV shows the Nuggets games on FSRM or FSRM Alt.......Don't they black out the local LA team games?

Don't they black out the local LA team games?

Yes, NBALP does, but they are always on another channel (FoxSports for home games and some random "broadcast" channel for road games).
