How is League Pass Broadband?

I had NBA Legue Pass Mobile last year, and it was rediculous. I couldn't ever watch any Jazz games all year, because they were always blacked out!
 
I just received a renewal notice and the prices have been jacked up this season. The early bird price for the Choice package (pick 7 teams) is $110. The cost for the Premium package (entire league) is $180. I've had it the past two seasons but won't be getting it this year.
 
Is there a link for the early bird special? I am not in Utah and really want to see all the games I can.

Thanks!

Yeah that is ridiculous, think this will encourage more p2p streaming and really backfire on Stern.

I buy the whole TV enchilada but I have two MAJOR gripes with broadband. I DVR games and often watch them later in the same night. On DVR, that works perfect. Every now and then, I have to resort to the NBA website to catch games online. But since they post the scores right with the game, I have to squint and put pieces of paper up so I won't find out the outcome. Getting to the start of a game without knowing the score is colossally difficult. My second big issue is the rewind/fast forward feature which works terribly. Good luck trying to skip the commercials. I'm always dragging the status bar forward like a surgeon and I still come out minutes ahead of where I want to be.

I think they make it suck on purpose. But it's better than not having the games so that's something.

I've been saying that on message boards since LP Broadband came out. I hate that, but luckly I rarely have to watch an archived Jazz game.

And those prices are jacked again, it must be a hot item.
 
If you are able to get NBA LP through your cable/satellite provider, I suggest you get that over the broadband and some DVR/Tivo combination. It is way better than what LP broadband was last year.

The broadband would freeze up quite a bit. Also, once the game is over, it can take several hours before the game is available to watch. So my wife and I went out one evening with the hope that we would watch the jazz game right when we got back (after the game had finished but before we were going to sleep), however the game wasn't available until the following day. On slow NBA game days, the archived games are up within 30 minutes, but on busy NBA game days, it'll be hours before the archived game is up.

Another gripe is that last year, I lived in Iowa and had league pass to watch the Jazz games. Iowa has no pro sports teams but NBA League Pass blocked Jazz games between nearby states like Minnesota Timberwolves, Chicago Bulls and Oklahoma Thunder. Depending on where your internet provider is based, that can unintentionally blackout some games.

Fortunately my wife and I now live in Utah and so I won't have to put up with NBA LP.

If LP Broadband is the only option you have and you're morally/legally opposed to streaming games through other means, get it. If your cable/satellite provider offers it, it is worth the extra cash.

First I've heard of being able to select fewer teams to watch at less $$$. It looks like it's only offered on the Broadband, not on the TV NBA league pass. Bummer.
 
Another question:

What seven teams would you guys select if you were going for the cheaper option? I'll only have six of course, due to one slot being taken for OUJ. I'm thinking Heat, Porty, Boston, Chicago, two more?
