I signed up for a YouTube TV membership and can't watch an NBA TV game if it's local even though I have the channel. And League Pass is dogsh*t too, 250 dollars a season to not be able to watch national TV or local games. Nice.

It's bullshit. I steal cable from a friend to get my local wizards game and the nationally televised games, and have league pass for everything else. It's a real pain to use shitty streaming apps on ps4.

Lol that's what I been doing but those are always like a couple minutes behind and lag a ton.

It's so dumb. If they didn't have the blackouts, I would actually consider buying league pass

You get less content when you pay for it than when you pirate it.

:lol I felt that today. Even with IPTV during the Knicks start. Eventually it went away but damage was done. Everything has been great as I've been flipping through 2-3 games but man was it rough during prime time :lol

Fact remains, why would I pay for something when it's blacked out locally? Do companies not realize that we do want to watch our local teams?
