5 Days left - still no online streaming service

@Wildcats Fan - Your correct and that is something I totally overlooked. However that is under the assumption that the games will always only be on the Fox Sports Channel and not on one of the regular Fox Sports channels included in the Sports bundle. If the NBL are showing all their live games on Fox Sports News then that is going to save me even more coin :P

Who's expecting anything for free?

NBL TV was in HD.

Perform's inability to run a streaming service is pretty meaningless. There are countless streaming services available that work perfectly fine.

You can get all games for just $25 a month on foxtel streaming right???

Wrong.

I like the idea of watching every game live and in HD. But the honest truth is i'll definitely watch all my teams away games live in HD and a handful of other games.

But even then, I would mainly watch it for Sixers away games when I can see them live(lets say I catch 10), plus some of the finals (say, 5 or 6), plus the other odd random game when it takes my fancy (say, 10) and my wife lets me take over the TV. That makes it closer to $10 per game.

Last year I could watch every game on replay late at night for $80 a season, albeit only when NBL.tv decided to work.

FYI, I think there are 121 games in the season if all finals go to three games (are they still all three game series?)

8 teams x 14 home games = 112 games + a possible 9 finals = 121 games

I believe the above does not get you IQ or HD, so you can only watch live and in SD?

That's OK - I'll still be able to watch the games I want to watch (at a mates place or whatever).

I'm more concerned about the "no lock in contract".

Foxtel prices aren't that bad.

But if there is a cheaper online streaming option it makes more sense to purchase that.

Which is why I said it feels like I'm playing chicken with Foxtel/NBL because if push comes to shove I'll get it only for the NBL.

When do I pull the trigger?

Yeah, I dont think they are wanting to give Foxtel any compeition (even if you dont think it is competition) this season. So its either you get Foxtel, you get spoiled online by a facebook source while crying 'But I havnt seen the game yet', you go to a sports bar that has foxtel and is showing the game

or you come to Hoops for one of Isaac's pre game pep talks.
