I've been thinking about signing up for NBA League Pass. I'd be interested in any comments from users including those with the full package or just the broadband or mobile. I'm sorta leaning to the Mobile Android version because of the costs and I have a Samsung phone and tablet.
Appreciate your help.

Had it through Dish for years...no complaints. Streams are great on both the phone and the laptop and the control panel is nicely laid out. Well worth the money.

I've had League Pass Broadband for 3 and a half years now, and would definitely recommend it. It has its hiccups every now and then, but it is a pretty solid, dependable service. Love the fact that they added the ability to pick which broadcast you can listen too. Its nice to get Bill and Sean for every game.

If you don't mind watching on the small screen of the phone the mobile is great. With my home wifi the stream is clear and this year they added the awesome feature of choosing which team's broadcast you want to watch. So far only the Jazz game didnt have the Spurs feed for whatever reason. For $50 it's a steal especially when compared to the cost of the other 2 versions.

Had mobile last year, have full version this year. Couldn't live without it. Some netflix-enabled devices now have the NBA Game time app which gives full HD on your TV either live or past games with home/away broadcasts. I get this through my Roku, and I heard it's available for PS4, but not sure for others. But no more having to remember to DVR the games I can't watch live or only watching replays on the computer/mobile. This also works for nationally televised / NBATV games which is very nice.
Adding... to give you an idea of the quality on the mobile, it is pretty good and it works well but it depends what you're used to. For example, I can't tell the difference between Mills and Parker on an iPad since they're similar build and jersey number.

I don't use it much on my phone but have tried it on both Bright House and on DirecTV and prefer Directv much better. I get frequent blackout or unable to get HD reception issues, haven't had that issue on DTV and in fact I love the option of watching either teams feed for the games.

This is my 3rd season with the LP Broadband 5-team package, and it's solid. I watch about 60 Spurs games per season, usually on my iPad or my Mac. It works on the Roku and the Apple TV as well, but I hardly ever use those. My only complaint is that the mobile and Broadband are separate products. It's silly that I can watch on my iPad, but not my phone. But that's a known issue. The streaming is good quality and very reliable.

I've had LP since about the 2001 season, and on Dish Network the last 9 seasons. I love the 30 second fwd button since I'm often watching games late night in bed instead of live.
I get Broadband included but rarely use it. The platform gets better every year, but my Uverse internet is a bit slow so I have too-occasional buffering to deal with. Also, there's not yet an easy way to forward through commercials or 30 seconds of free throws.
If you're looking for a cheap option and not worried too much about navigating fwd and back for replays or to skip commercials, Broadband is more than fine. I'm looking forward to continued improvements to it so I can ditch Dish in the near future.

Mills solved that by wearing a black armband now :lol

I have the international LP and it works great. I do get some pauses but still is very good.
I have also stream it from and ipad without problems.
And this year you can choose home and away announcers, even better. I have the full package, all teams.

This is my second season subscribing to LP Broadband (5 team package). Sucks that I can't watch it on my phone, but I can watch it on my iPad, laptop, and they also just added an app to both the PS3 and the PS4, so I can stream games on my TV that way.
Quality is usually really good. HD video more often than not. I had some audio issues on my iPad at the beginning of the season but it looks like those issues were ironed out in the latest app update.
I highly recommend it - living far from the San Antonio media market it sure beats searching for crappy streams online...

I know this sounds weird, but I can't find a place on the gametime app to sign up for the League Pass--and if I go to the NBA.com on my computer it will only show me the broadband. I've also looked on the google apps and can't find it there either. I wrote the customer support help email and they turned it over to broadband support. Maybe they have dropped the mobile app?? Or maybe the IT guy that designed the website is the same guy that designed the Obamawreck website.

I think he is teaching Tony. "I center my chi..." :lmao
Too bad they cut it off there. Tony was about to smirk or laugh.
