So this is something you have to do with your ISP right? Sign into Comcast's site online to stream the local games? It's a move in the right direction, but they just need to go ahead and stop bullshytting with the restrictions on League Pass and let people stream everything.

Cable programming is just an outdated business model in general.
They changed it up this year a little bit. You can't stream the local and national games live but you can watch them afterward. It's a start :yeshrug:

No, last year, any game that was blacked out was not available at all through league pass. That included all nationally televised games and local blackouts. So if you travel, like I do, depending on what area you were in, you couldn't watch their previous local broadcasts.

Only games that were blacked out were local games and the national games....You could see them after they were done live...

No you couldn't
You absolutely could NOT. Any game that was blacked out was blacked out forever. It's ridiculous. The only exception were playoff games. They go all year not letting you watch replays of ANY blacked out games, then change it up for the playoffs. :mindblown:

One of the few things I like about League Pass (last year atleast) is when the Bucks weren't on local TV, I was actually able to watch the away feed on League Pass. I've never been able to do that on MLB.TV (not Live anyways).

streaming local teams is stupid, i'm not a cavs fan and if i wanted to watch their games i would watch them on fox sports.

This needs to be streaming nation wide all the games. But the issue is i don't want a stream, i want a direct feed from the game pushed to my cable box and i don't want to spend 200 on league pass to get it. We need to get all local fox sports, sun sports etc.. rolled into a sports packaged and pushed out to users
