Anyone got NBA TV?

yeah its weird that they're not doing the month option like last year.

I've had it for past 3 years, well worth.

Do you mind me asking how much you paid for it at the start of the season? And is it HD quality?

I'd be interested in this too. Been relying on crappy streams to watch the games.

I had 2 years ago. First year was awful, 2nd was great. This season I used the trial until ended, and it was fantastic. The iPad app is just AMAZING in terms of viewing quality, stream stability, etc....the main reason I'm not paying is that the average NBA game start at 03:00 my time, and that the price is a bit inflated in my opinion.

By the way, I do have the option for monthly subscription: $44.

$219 for the rest of the season.

Thanks for the replies JohnAnthony. I take it from your time zone you are somewhere in Eastern Europe, maybe Germany? In UK early games kickoff at 12am and late games at 3/3 30 am.

Yes, I can see the monthly option for $44 but after talking to NBA support they have said that the price will be reduced by the end of February so I might wait

Thanks for mentioning that, will check out to see if it gets worthwhile to pay. By the way, I think the price was LOWER at the start of this season (the monthly at least)

I have Directv and it's $169. I saw a flyer in my DTV invoice that they are running a free trial Feb 28- March 4. Not sure if that would also include broadband or Europe. They really juiced the price for overseas. I'm scared to think how high they could charge for the NFL package before I said no. I might cancel my MLB package. It really ticks me off when they blackout weekend games on certain games because of network contracts. These packages really add up and combo of tv,cell and cable is expensive. Then again, what's money for?

I also think they will discount after March 4th, but season winding down. Good Luck.

Wait until after All-Star break, as it will probably go to $99. They are running that free preview to lure in more subs, at the new rate.

I just purchased it, couldn't wait

. Looks great so far already watched a few condensed games, love that feature. I guess the one advantage of overseas is no blackouts but its probably not worth the extra cost. NFL gamepass is very expensive I think its around $280
