NBA League pass is once again offering a trial period until November 7th, watch all the games live and in HD on your computer. I signed up last year and also got it this year and I highly recommend giving it a go if you're a fan.
Also, they have brought back the Team pass option if you only want to watch your favourite team and that is currently 130 AUD.
Lets go Knicks!
GO LAKERS!
With the intellectual capability of this forum what is the easiest way to get this to your PC? Any way to hack the Apple TV that anyone knows of? Relying on solid Wireless N connection and can stream HD in the main room via ethernet (so bandwidth shouldn't be a problem).
Or is it best to just HDMI out through a Ultrabook or some other device?
Something to be aware of guys and girls.
Some terms and conditions apply.
"If you do not cancel your subscription prior to the conclusion of the Free Trial period (ending Nov 7 at 11:59 PM ET), the payment method you provided will be billed on Nov 8 for USD$219.99. You may cancel at any time via My Account section."
Thats rather annoying, I don't like it because I will probably forget and BANG $200 gone off my card. I wouldnt use it enough to warrant paying for a full subscription but a trial would have been nice. They never had that last year it was just a trial and then it finished without having to cancel
Yeah, I know spuddy, no such clauses last year. Make sure you put a reminder in your phone!
The Promotion Code "NBAP15GTX354" still works which brings the price down to US$186.99 just in case you forget to cancel.
ok thanks, I might have to put the voucher in and maybe i will think about actually getting the ful year subscription. I only have 12 gig on my internet plan (mobile) so watching a lot of live streaming games uses most of it but am going to sign back up with adsl2/NBN when my contract runs out and then might actually pay for the full year
For anyone wondering, the code above doesn't work on Team Pass.
Also Team Pass is showing $190 AUD for me, not $130 like in the original post.
Nice retro avatar you have there :) I do appreciate the classics.
Maybe we can enter fake credit card details then that way even if we forget to unsubscribe they cant charge us for anything?
So you actually have to put your credit card details in to get this trial? You didn't have to with last years trial.
Must remember to cancel.
can cancel immediately after sign up and login still works for the timeframe?
Does anyone know whether this works on the Ipad 3? Don't want to sign up only for it to not work on the Ipad.
Good chance it wont as it probably uses some form of Flash
Once you sign up you can download the NBA gametime app and should be able to watch through that.
Yes it will work with the NBA Game Time 2013 app.
look at the old deals for a way to make the cost for the whole season a lot cheaper. works like a treat and I bought one last night
any particular deal you can point us to?
go to the old posts recently, look for trevorcolby's post. very helpful.
http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/79133
I can second that, if you are going to buy league pass definitely follow the instructions in trevorcolby's comment, it will save you another $50-60.
Spain is the cheapest: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/81647#comment-1055412
+ NBAP15GTX354 still works for 15% off
found a proxy that works?
edit: followed the complete instructions for spain and got it for US$102 :)
how do I change my proxy to one from Spain?
then if I watch this on my iPad do I need to do anything different? or will I have problems logging into my account at all?
Trevorcolby had some nice instructions there. I just went for Hungary and got it for 115, should have looked more closely!
How do you cancel before the 7th? Signed up looked all around the account settings and couldn't find how to do it.
It's under My Packages. In current packages, there should be a link to cancel your free trial.
Oh and go Bulls! :)
Yeah I found out the reason I couldn't find it. I had accidentally bought the actual league pass broadband package for 220AUD. When you press the free trial and it asks if you already have an account, which I do, you sign in and it changes the product from the free trial to the actual one so beware of that. I knew you had to put in your cc details anyway so I didn't check thoroughly enough and is my fault on the most part. Just a heads up for other people that may encounter the same problem. I have emailed them in hope of a refund but not too hopeful about it.
wow glad I hadnt gone all the way through, I signed in too as I had an account but was a bit hesitant with the whole must cancel before the 7th thing. I would ask your bank to cancel the transaction/reverse it
hey mate can you check if you get the 3000Kbps option for streaming? I've only got 800 + 1600 - maybe international don't get the full rate?
not sure what you mean. There's no option to open the league pass client is there? If there is I cant find it. Or are you just referring to the videos section?
yeah just the highlights and stuff, or preason clips
Maybe just for highlights or certain games? I watched the Knicks v Nets preseason game in 3000Kbps, and last season all games were in HD.
The exact same thing happened to me VinsonW.
I thought it would be the same as last year, but didn't know they would change it after you selected and processed the payment.
Will be shooting them an email.
I've been watching the preseason games so far this year.
They were being shown at 3000kbps live but when I watched replays they were only available in 800/1600.
I hope the proper season will be 3000 for replays too.
VinsonW, please tell me if you get a reply from the email. I have the same problem and need my money back. How could they do this!?
Exact same problem here. I've emailed them and will update if I get a reply, would appreciate hearing if anyone hears back from them,
PayPal got me a full refund of my payment. Happy now! Spent it on NFL Game Pass instead, much better!
Managed to get a refund by emailing the tech support
Go Spurs!
Go banana!
Go apple
+1 for weirdest comment ever.
Go GRAPEFRUIT!
what time and date is Nov 7 at 11:59 PM ET in sydney?? so i know exactly when to cancel =]
Thanks, got it!
Go Rockets
Gaze to Copeland! Swish!
come on, lakers, kobe
i joined earlier and i cant view any games it just has all the subscription options even though i am signed in and registered for the trial. Does anyone know how i can view content?
The TAB will be showing live NBA games on their website this year. They haven't announced it but I have good word it will and if you go to the TAB site for the NBA markets, it'll say TAB.com.au live broadcast.
so the spain proxy worked, $102.. stoked! and i can sign in. but now i'm using my normal proxy, how do i know if its working?
cos when i click on the "nba league pass" link up the top. it still says i need to buy the package (with the aussie pricing)
but then when i go into "my packages" i see:
League Pass Regular Season + Playoffs (One-Time)
so i know something has worked. but i just don't know for sure. can anyone that has signed up to it as well let me know what theirs says?
You have to log in here then should be sweet
ilp.nba.com
same thing still happens. that just redirects to the watch.nba.com
FYI only live games are in 3000Kbps, replays/archived are 800-1600Kbps
NBA Game Time now available on XBOX Live!
http://majornelson.com/2012/10/22/nba-game-time-launches-on-…
I noticed this on my xbox last night. There's also MLB :)
I remember the iphone/ipad app streamed all the games last time with in-app cracker, hopefully still works for this season !
Anyone get a reply about the free trial cancellation? They're going to charge me soon!
i got a reply and they will do a refund which will take 3-10 business days :(
Who did you email to get a refund? I should ask for one soon then. Thanks a lot.
Please share with us who did you email to get the refund. Thanks
Why are they charging you?
This is the "Subscriber Agreement". Still doesn't tell me why they were going to charge me $0.00 and then charged me $159.99.

The length of any such period and the additional terms and conditions associated with it shall be displayed proximately to where you are able to register for the free preview period. Any such additional terms and conditions shall, in addition to this Subscriber Agreement, apply to the free trial period.
YOU MAY CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AT ANY TIME DURING THE FREE PREVIEW PERIOD. OUR CANCELLATION INSTRUCTIONS ARE HERE http://leaguepasssupport.nba.com.

YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL THEN AUTOMATICALLY RENEW (AND YOU WILL BE CHARGED THE APPLICABLE FEES EACH TIME YOUR SUBSCRIPTION RENEWS) AS DESCRIBED BELOW UNLESS AND UNTIL YOU SUBSEQUENTLY CANCEL IT. IF YOUR FREE PREVIEW PERIOD IS ONE THAT WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONVERT INTO A SUBSCRIPTION THAT REQURIES THE PAYMENT OF ASSOCIATED SUBSCRIPTION FEES, THIS WILL BE STATED AT THE POINT WHERE YOU REGISTER FOR THE PREVIEW PERIOD.
Using my $120 League Pass now, it's beautiful.
Watching Boston v Miami replay now and its in 3000Kbps so looks like the poorer qualities was just for preseason games.
I tried to watch it on my iPhone yesterday and the quality was pretty bad, this was on a uni wifi network which is normally quite fast but kept on timing out and the screen would go black saying bandwidth was too slow to stream. I assume it was a proxy or port throttle through the uni network.
Cannot believe we lost Ray Ray to the Heat :(
Which spain proxy are people using? Only found 1 that properly works but it won't load the 'registerform' page :(
HI all,
i was just reading through the post on this one and saw comments that you can get it for 118 for NBA league pass when using spain proxy.
I am using one of spain's proxy from proxy server website and when i log into watch.nba.com afterwards then go to league pass, i can see the per season is at US 119 but when I click on that to choose it, it shows up as $219 US.
Not sure what the go is there.
Can anyone pls help?
Thanks very much.
does anyone have the details for a canadian or Spanish proxy i have been searching and come up dry? apologies
go here
http://www.proxynova.com/proxy-server-list/country-hu/
and choose from the drop down box for the country and u will get a whole list back, choose any but i have not seen any working successfully yet, its hit and miss!
and when it works, the price comes up the same!
thanks buddy!
Canada only get the regular season, not the playoffs which is why it's cheap there.
Also, the 15% off coupon doesn't work on the Canadian site.
Used a spanish proxy to buy league pass and it works fine using a web browser but i get blackout restrictions using Xbox Game Time, anyone else have this problem?
hi mattador,
how did you manage to get the price to change from 219 to 140 (whatever ha sbeen mentioned here)
When i use a spanish proxy from firefox, then login to my watch.nba.com account, go to pick the league pass and it comes in at 219!
am i doing something wrong here?
thanks.
Try different proxy IPs from http://www.proxynova.com/proxy-server-list/country-es/ until you find one that works, in firefox enter them in Options > Advanced Tab > Network Tab > Settings
Ive pretty much tried all the proxy's with no luck… still showing up as 219 on the payment screen :/
Any idea's ? The gig is up maybe hahaha
213.181.73.145:8080 just worked for me.
$102 after using the 15% off coupon - NBAP15GTX354
Legend !!! Worked a treat
Also wonder if it had anything to do with me hitting "use this proxy server for all protocols" Thanks Ace
this is friggin frustrating.
i found a proxy that takes me into my account via spain but it keeps coming up as $219 when you click on league pass (eventhough on this page it shows as 119)
BS!!
dunno what im doin wrong here!!
Appreciate any help.
Did you try the one Ace posted above ? Also did you select " use this proxy server for all protocols" in firefox
It took me ages yesterday until Ace posted with the gold !
Thanks for your help Ace, great stuff! I had a frustrating time trying a shite load of proxies without success until I read your info and covered bases by clicking the "use this proxy server for all protocols" box, thanks to tomcat225. (using firefox)
Now Lakers…how about a win!
Hi all,
I just wanna confirm that after about 20 or do frustrating attempts, the suggested proxy by ACE does work, it didn't at first but then I was over my mates at house, I tried it under his network and it worked! Not sure why but I didn't really care to find out why as I was too busy cheering. The price came down to 101$ u.s with the 15% further disc….which is baldy awesome.
Thnks everyone who helped!!!
And yes Lakers are in a whole…0 wins from 8 games!!! Lol
hey guys, i can get the proxy to work but one the 2nd screen it keeps changing it back to the AU price. im using chrome and safari on OSX any ideas?
Been checking out the streams elsewhere and it seems like leaguepass has a 30 second delay. Still beats everywhere quality wise.
How do I cancel this thing?
Don't think I will continue this year.
Done and Done
Via Spain proxy
yes I had to tick use proxy for ALL services to work
Total cost for full year $101.99
28 degrees MC - no int currency fees - should be less than AUD$100!
Thanks all
How can you guys not have clicked use all proxies? You don't deserve it.
