NBA.TV Free Preview

There are other alternatives out there but for anyone who'd like to catch some games online, NBA.TV is offering a free preview through January 9th, including all five opening night games. More details here:

I must say I'm very impressed with this. It's displayed nothing but page load errors ever since the game started. Definitely makes me want to pay up for the whole season.

I get a page error just clicking on the sign-up link.

Yeah, none of it's loading at all. I got the login page, but it was down again by the time I entered my password. It's currently managed to load the title of the login page, but nothing more.

Completely rubbish. Good thing the other four games are on TV here.

Started working around half time, then logged me out 20 minutes later because I'd been logged in too long. Had to log in again. Missed a couple of minutes of the game doing so. Why would anyone be logged into league pass for less than two hours or so?

And it's kicked me off again, and won't let me log back in.

This is free, and I feel ripped off. What a joke.

Hasn't worked for me since the tipoff.

It's worked fine for me since half time, except for the fact that it logs me out every 20 minutes, gives me two dozen 'connection reset' errors whilst trying to load the login page,then when I finally log in, it gives me another half dozen 'connection reset' errors before successfully loading the video player. Picture-in-picture also displays nothing more than a black screen for the smaller video window.

No way I'm buying a subscription. No way.

TNT Overtime has the Celts game, don't think it would work outside of the US, though.

It's dead again.

So much for selling folks on the service with the free preview.

No kidding. And I missed the end of the Knicks-Celts game, too. My original plan was to keep an eye on Mavs-Heat using PiP, depending on how interesting each game was, which would by the sound of it led to me watching the end of the NYK-BOS game before going to watch the rest of the games on the TV. Instead, it died about the time MIA-DAL tipped off, so I went and watched that instead, and it's a blowout. Fun.

The fact that it's down is one thing, but the automatic logouts every 20 minutes are clearly not an error but a feature, and are fucking retarded given that games go in excess of two hours. And if you're not watching a live game, I'd imagine you'd have to find the spot you were up to when it logged you out, too. I don't understand why it's doing that.

Yeah, that's bizarre. No excuse for that.

Currently trying to watch the Celts-Knicks fourth quarter, and every time there's a commercial, despite the fact that I'm not watching live, it displays the 'Game Break in progress' message for the entire original length of the commercial break. And there's no way to skip past it other than the 'forward ten seconds' button, which isn't really that quick once it takes the time to load anyway.

The 'your session timed out' thing appears to be the same as a web page timing out, rather than 'you've been logged in too long'. Which makes much more sense. On the other hand, it's down again, and since there are currently no games being played, there's really no excuse. Going down at the start of the first game of the year is understandable. This isn't.

is this still available? coz I cant get the link right.

Can i have a link for a full replay after games then koberules?

I just had the "Your session timed out" prompt when the Bobcats were about to inbound the ball with 2.9 seconds left.

Sombody's pulling some plugs to troll the people I feel.

You can move the progress bar at the bottom though.

The bar at the bottom isn't particularly precise.

I was watching Memphis-OKC, and it kept dying throughout the fourth. I've watched almost the full first quarter of Miami-Charlotte with no trouble whatsoever. You might be right.
