Hi all,
Firstly NBL.TV is the live streaming service for the National Basketball League season, which will start on the 10th October.
It will give you live access to virtually all games during the 2014/2015 season, with the exception of those games broadcasted live on Free To Air TV.
Below is the official broadcast schedule.

NBL.TV is normally $99 for a season's subscription, although there is an Earlybird deal for $89 right now.
However, if you purchase the subscription through the Perth Wildcats Merchandise Website, it is significantly cheaper. Please note that this deal is available to the general public, you do not need to be a Perth Wildcats member.

There are 2 options.
Option A)
Purchase the NBL.TV without buying merchandise, its straight up $50.

Option B)
Purchase the NBL.TV with buying merchandise, its $40 for the subscription only (plus the price of the merchandise).

Please note that you'll have to pay for shipping of the merchandise item on top unles you choose to pick up from their office in Floreat (Perth).
If you wish to save a bit more money…
You could purchase a $7.50 Christmas Sock with the discounted subscription….then choose the Pick Up option for free.

Then even if you elect to never pick up the Christmas Sock…You still only pay $47.50 which is better than Option A).
How I understand this works is, you make the purchase, and someone from the Wildcats office will contact you (either via a phone call or email) to give you the NBL.TV activation code which you can use to register your new NBL.TV account.
This is my third year as a subscriber to NBL.TV and this is the cheapest deal so far available to non-members.
Hope this can be useful for any Australian basketball supporters / followers wishing to see this season's games.
This pre-season has seem a big influx of quality players (including NBA players / draftees) into the NBL and promises to be one of the most exciting seasons as far as talent is concerned.
Cheers
so, you pay subscription to watch pure Bball games?!
