I'm on the West Coast.

Tonight's LP schedule has the Miami/Indiana game starting at 4:00 my time.
It has the Spurs game starting on the same channel at 5:30 my time.

I've never run into this before.
There's no way the Miami game will be over in an hour and a half.

Does anyone know if LP will interrupt the Miami (East) game to show the Spurs (West) game in its entirety?
Or am I screwed and will only get part of my Spurs game?

Has anyone else got experience with this happening? Two games overlapping on the same LP channel?

I'll have to check when we get home and see what ours says. We had LP last year and never had that issue. Weird.

I've had LP for years and never saw this.

A late game would be on the same channel as an early game, but the timing was ok for that.
This doesn't make sense.
Two games on the same channel an hour and a half apart.

I'm not pleased.
I'm thinking I'll get the whole fucking Miami game and just the end of the Spurs game.

Not what I spend my money on LP for.

I have the same thing in my area, both games reflect that they will be shown on Team 1. I think that the game will actually be shown on the NBA Preview channel. BTW Spurs Training camp is going to show at 7:30p.m on the NBA channel. Hope that helps.

Mine says Team 2 for both.
I hope you're right and they use the Preview channel for one of them.
Thanks. I calmed down a little.

Yep, we just checked and same thing. I too will be pretty pissed off if we can't watch it. The Miami game definitely is on now.

I've got the same thing - the Mia-INd game. When the schedule actually shows Spurs/Queens. I've never seen 2 games scheduled for the same channel before.

I got nothing. I'm fucking pissed. First, we were overcharged for LP (and are still dealing with that) and now we don't even get the fucking game I want to see? Fuck this, man. The whole point of LP is to watch the games I want. I want the Spurs. Clearly someone in scheduling fucked it up.

There is still a full quarter + left in the MIA/IND game. UGH.

I'm not at home but the Heat game should be on NBA 3 (753 on DirecTV) and the Spurs game on NBA 10 (760 on DirecTV).

Some news...
I just got home.
My LP has the Miami game, it appears they have the Spurs game after it (6:30 PST).

My advice to those in the same situation...check your guide on your TV. When I move mine ahead it says the Spurs game starts at 6:30.

I'll keep you guys posted, please do the same.

If it's Comcast/TW, you're just screwed.

I feel your frustration.
See my post above this, there may be hope yet!

Same crap i called my local provider i am here on the east coast and he gave me some line about how the league did not know where to put the game and his screen is reading to be determined or some shit. 3 years of league pass and this has never happened before what the fuck is going on??? :madrun

I just called T/W myself and I was told that Killeen-Temple is considered local and there is a local blackout enforced. Go figure.

BTW what's showing on Lifetime?

Houston certainly isn't local though, so we shouldn't be getting blacked out.

And the broadband isn't working for me.

And fucking Miami and Indi are killing me with their damn close game and fucking timeouts.

GRRR.

And even if I could see the game in entirety, I can't blog, and that makes me unhappy.

Yeah they just switched it over. For this game it has not mattered this has been an blowout but still this crap has never happened before with what we pay for league pass, should never happen.

Just talked to Time Warner. Apparently their LP screwed up. The Spurs game was scheduled for 8:30PM CST. Of course we all know it started @ 7:30.

LP switched over the the Spurs game about 6 mins left in 2nd quarter.
Logged a complaint. Will receive a partial credit from TW on missed portion of the game.

Rep said there have been some isolated issues with LP scheduling as of late.

How am I watching this game if I am in Dallas? Wouldn't the game be blacked out because Fox Sports SW still covers the Dallas Area?

I got it with just under 6 left in the 2nd.
LP will hear from me tomorrow.
I'm glad I got it at all, but LP costs way too much for me, the only reason I have it is to not miss a second of the Spurs.
I may not get a response from them but I'll feel better letting them know this is unacceptable.
It better not happen again this season. I can't take the stress! :lol

Yeah i had to change out my Cable Box so i missed the last game because they updated the Box that requires League Pass. So imagine my anger tonight sitting home with a new BOX i just got yesterday and the game again is not ON, i called the cable company after letting out a big ass SCEAM!!!

Well at least it is on now. :toast
