Watching NBA Games on Computer?

Postby Natea on Wed Nov 05, 2003 11:48 am

Is there any program out there to let you watch NBA games as they go. Right now im listening to the game on the radio (denver vs. pacers) and well im just wondering if theres anything out there, dont mind if theres a fee or whatever but just wondering.


Thanks

I was wondering that too, I would be happy if we could download full NBA games off the net. :) Anything?

Well, since NBA games cannot be distributed without express written consent of the NBA, you cannot speak of downloading full televised games on this board, in accordance to the rule regarding piracy.

You can, however, subscribe to NBA TV, I think. With a broadband connection, you can watch some games on the internet. Not long ago the NBA broadcasted a preseason Cavs game. Something to look into, since I'm not exactly sure.

I think you can buy video tapes of previous NBA games. I think Andrew mentioned watching the All-Star Game this way.

That's all I have for you right now.

All the best,

Eugene

you cant download an NBA game, but you can surely watch an NBA game on a computer... as long as you have a built-in cable outlet in your computer. my roomate has one of those windows xp media edition with a built-in cable outlet and watches tv from his computer

PonTel has a wide selection of classic games. You can also get games from the current season - you can even subscribe, and receive a few tapes every week. I don't have the money to do that at present, but I buy old games from time to time.
