What’s up with the Bally sports app?

[blizz]

I’ve been able to use it to watch games all season using my U-Verse account and all of the sudden the last two games are blacked out. Wtf? How else am I going to watch when I’m not home?

Won’t work with anyone who uses streaming services either. Just a horrible situation for Spurs fans. Bally’s basically holding everyone hostage.

The whole blackout thing is horribly antiquated. The league prides itself of being progressive and innovative but can’t figure out how put an end this bullshit.

DIRECTV streaming deal works fine. So far so good and am convinced it will continue to work. Bad part is that I pay about 92 bucks for it.

Exactly. I'd actually be willing to shell out for League Pass if not for the fact that as an Austinite, most Spurs games are blacked out as part of the "local region" even though I live 100 damn miles from the AT&T center.

So shiver me timbers....

I got the same fucking issue. I’m in Corpus, also subject to blackout.

They have been showing the games on yahoo sports the last few ones. Don’t know if you have to be in the SA area.

[blizz]

It’s just bullshit that in San Antonio I can watch it on my TV with Uverse but I can’t steam it on any app be it iPhone, iPad, appletv or Roku. I get some axis error code 11 bs.

[jermaine]

The NBA app the trippin too.. I pay $16.99 mthly for Spurs Team pass. I live in Dallas an cant watch Spurs & Mavs anymore cuz its a game in my area but Slingtv doesn't have mavs games. But they do have Cowboys... thats crazy

[ChumpDumper]

Sinclair is a disaster. I was hoping anyone else in the media world would buy the Fox RSNs.

You would think that blacking out the Spurs in SA and surrounding areas actually hurts the bottom line. It certainly doesn't help to cultivate new fans. Unless the point is to get people to the games but that's not always feasible. I have Hulu but haven't been able to figure out how to watch them. Would certainly love to catch a few games now and then.

I'll have to try that option for tomorrow's game.

Erm.. don’t know if this will help, but I go on a site called nbabite. It’s got a ton of pop-ups, but once you get rid of them, the streams are in HD. And you can watch different sports on it too.

I've never felt better about pirating Spurs games.. the NBA has really fucked up good with this regional sports bullshit.

I remember in 1997 when the collective bargaining agreement prevented games from being shown on PPV.. I'm hoping the next one will eliminate this regional sports bullshit and allow local markets to broadcast all games over the air

Never knew that. I remember my neighbor always paying like $60 to watch the Spurs games when the Bulls and MJ were in town back then. Thought it was just only the Spurs organization trying to make more money lol.

[wildbill2u]

sportssurge.net has several streaming services that work for me. I just have to click out of a couple of pop-ups for betting sites.

Yeah, was complete bullshit. All the good games were on PPV
