Have people paid using their debit/credit cards? Any issues?

I used them for a week in the pre-season and I used them for the first month of a season (going to resubscribe for either 3 months or 6 months)

Absolutely zero issues with my cards and their streams.

Although my card got declined once and locked by my make, but it was because where they run the card is in a weird place in the world like the Cayman Islands or some type of stuff (which is expected). It's juts a safety procedure they do sometimes.

At times when it's a slow NBA night and college games are on, you can chat the admin and request them to stream a game. A couple weeks ago it was slow and my wife wanted to watch Iowa State play (someone she knew in high school plays for them, Matt Thomas) and I got on, ask the Admin, he was streaming it on the website in 5 minutes.

100% satisfied with their service.

That sounds awesome. I think I'm going to try a week or month.

No issues. Ive yet to have a single problem other than choppy video in a game or two a month ago. But the owners of the site are in the stream chats so they tell you what they are doing about it and fix it on the fly.

Lot better than league pass.

It's such a shame that a mod on this site promotes illegal streaming of videos.

Ever seen HD leaguepass broadband games? Its like that but somewhat better as they have bigger bitrate and the biggest difference is the FPS (framerate) imo, 60 fps instead of just 30 fps and the delay from live is just 0-3 sec.... makes everything look uber smooth....

It's not illegal though because the servers are in the Netherlands and copyright laws don't effect them there. Hence this is how they've been doing the NHL streams the last 6 years.

They are 3200kbps in HD. I hook up my laptop via a HDMI and have great picture and sound as if I'm watching the game on HD cable.

I use Charter 30mbps and I can cap out at 35 and it streams 100% fine and I can surf the web at the same time without it effecting the stream. You can't download movies or anything at the same time unless limit the cap on the download

My bad.

In short for the 1+ month I've tried it. It's better paying the price I'm paying now than illegal LP was for $8 for a season because you don't have to worry about blackouts, and the quality is superior and the customer service is way better. The admin <billy> in the chat is freakin' awesome.

Can always stream the lower quality at 800kbps, it's not HD, but it's still better than the free sites.

please delete this thread. its awesome. My favorite feature is the ability to select which teams broadcast team to listen to. They don't have "condensed" games to watch. But that's the only drawback. iOs and Andriod apps.

Now please delete!

Just got ballstreams and it is way better than league pass. Actually the reason I copped Roku instead of Apple TV. It even has a Roku App!!! best streaming service out there.

That's awesome! :rockon:

By far the best service is the admin, billy. He'll sometimes take requests for certain NCAA games if it's dead even though they aren't slated to be streamed and if there's a technical difficulty they fix it in a few minutes.

For example last night there was a pop-up that came up on someone's streaming TV blocking score. Billy had whoever was streaming it take the pop-up off within like 2 minutes.
