Has anyone splurged on the International NBA league pass?

100-150 bucks is a lot of money - but I guess if you watch enough basketball its worth it.

I didn't get the NBA, but I got the NHL last year. The first half of the season was great. After the all-star break it went to crap. I was watching every game at full quality and after the all-star break I could barely watch a game in block-o-vision.

I did a couple months of various tests with them they finally blamed one of their providers and I asked for a refund. Never heard boo. They also tried to auto-renew my subscription this year with the only way to opt out being to call the 1-800 before the season started but the line was disabled until the season started. The support for it seemed to be run by some guy in his basement. I know that the MLB is tied in with the NHLs system. If the NBA is too.. beware. I'd spend some time searching forums and see if anyone has any legit complaints.

I got it. The video quality of the archived games is really good. Excellent actually. I've split the fee with a few friends. We are all able to log in at the same time on different computers with no problems so far. I'm never home in the mornings to watch live so maybe that's why.
I highly recommend broadband international. Just split the fee with someone.

I got it last year and it was a bit rough. So Far I've found it much much better live. Even at work where my internet speed is shitty I don't have a lot or problems with buffering. The only thing that bugs me about it is that the games arent available right away live.. but overall if youre a ball fan its definitely worth getting it.

I also got it. The quality is good, but it is not as good as the NHL feed this year (which I also bought). I think it streams at 1200 kbps for the HD feed (which is nowhere near actual HD), while the NHL feed is 2200 kbps.

If you like basketball it is worth the price, as you are getting hours of games for your money. Just make sure you try out the test stream before, as some computers don't handle the RayV program that you need to stream the games live.
