How does it work? And is it worth it? ? And is it reliable? ? I saw some online reviews say that it was crap and a waste of time.
So do you just like have a log in and password and them isa list of all the game s and can I watch them at anytime or do I have to watch them directly when its on? ?? Cause that would suck. And do I get to watch any game I want? ? Or do u just pay for a certain amount of games? ?
Help please ish brothers! !

How does it work? Pay and you can watch it from every Pc Laptop Smartphone etc.
Is it worth? yes
Heard it was crap? It worked totally fine for me (Germany) but i heard a lot of US guys complained about lags during big games
So do you just like have a log in and password and them isa list of all the game s and can I watch them at anytime or do I have to watch them directly when its on? ?? yes you can watch them anytime, the Mavs play at around 2:30 AM German time, so i just rewatch the games the next day, there is an option to hide the boxscore so you wont be spoilered.
You can watch any game you want, you can even rewatch games from last season
With a proxy server you can buy the League pass with an indian IP for like 60 Euros, so not that expensive
Glad to help

I had it through my cable provider a few years ago, and they just blocked off a bunch of channels at the top of the listings. It was nice, but because of where I live, I get all the Knicks, Nets, and Celtic games, plus national covereage on TNT, TBS, ABC, ESPN, and the NBA Network that I get. It's almost impossible for me to watch everything available to me anyway. And I'm a Celtic fan anyway. So I got rid of it.

If you're international, get it. If you're domestic, there's all sorts of issues with the streaming service.

if you arent gonna watch the games live, just torrent them

Being able to tune into a game after its started, watch from the beginning and catch up to watching it live is the only real advantage to it.

I have had issues on my computer, but never on my kindle (which has a micro hdmi jack to the tv). I get the 5 team package and I think its well worth it. I dont have cable or satellite and I live outside of my team's broadcast area, so I basically get it to watch pistons games.

You're pretty lucky. Every year there are tons of articles and a line a mile long of people bitching about the broadband service and it's terrible shortcomings.

I had it for 4 years and loved it most of the time except for 6-7 times a year where the Lakers were on a network channel that I didn't have. They make it sound like you get every game but that's not true.

Yeah I sent it in last season and got an email back like 2 days later saying that I was accepted.
Once you get there just right click the flash video and change the settings allowing it to use all the memory it needs and then learn which server runs fastest near your area and use that one to watch streams and you'll have almost no lag.

No i dont think so. It just says:
''In an effort to control growth and to ensure we are able to provide the best service we possibly can, we have temporarily closed public registration.''
''Submit an Invite form, and we will email you an invite once we're ready for you!''
They just asked for my full name and email address so now i just gotta wait for an answer

if you have to league pass for some reason just buy a VPN first and use League pass from some other country where they sell it real cheap and won't have blackouts.

I've had it for the last 4 or so years here in Australia. It's worth it for sure, plays well for me. The only issues I've ever had is that every now and then it will play up (probably 3-4 games out of hundreds I watch a year). Usually happens when they offer the free trial weekends and get overloaded which is annoying.

ILP is 50x better than American league pass.
OP: get it.

Oh okay. I live in aus too do u have the broadband version? ? That's the version I've heard the bad reviews about. Apparently it's glitch as hell and blanks out allot. I'll give you guys the site once I get home to my computer.

Never heard of "broadband version", I just have international league pass which is all it lets me buy here. There's a premium which just gives you past seasons and away team broadcast but other than that I think it's the same.
I'm on the NBN now and was previously on ADSL1+, had no real issues on either and I have friends who watch on all kinds of connections.

How far back in season's can you go? Cause i normally only get the non premium one which is the 250 one.

I have non-premium and I can watch all the 2013 and 2014 games. I'm from the UK though so it may be different where you are.

What I meant in my post was I have the normal one myself. Premium I think went back 3 seasons though? May be wrong but it was a few. I have a feeling that normal right now can watch last season but that will go away early into the next season. Think that happened to me last year.

1) If you live in USA, isn't it best to do 6-month subscription at end of October for ballstreams? That covers you until April when playoffs start. Playoffs are all on tv between espn, tnt, abc, and nbatv.
2) What other options are there other than ballstreams and nba league pass??
