NBA League Pass

[texasguy37]

Time to start a rumor!

On the TitanTV website, the U-verse program Guide shows channels 2105 - 2114 for NBA League Pass.  Take this for whatever it is worth.

Not going to do much good this year since it's looking more and more like the NBA season will be cancelled or at least shortened to a 1/2 season.  Dallas can stay champs for 2  years now.

I am curious. If we actually get NBA League Pass, can a provider get NHL Center Ice without the NHL Network? I would think that  a provider would need the network channel (MLB, NHL, NBA) before the provider can get the full subscription package that goes with the network channel.

Go Cardinals!!!!!

Such a thing would be up to the discretion of the league. Obviously, NBA TV is on the U-300.

Since there may not be much of an NBA season maybe they will offer a Pro Bowler's League Pass in it's place.

Or Turkish League Pass so we can watch the NBA players that are actually playing basketball right now

[RCSMG]

I was thinking about that also. Broadcast the games that are being played in Europe.  the EBA League Pass.   Good idea.

Thats the wrong #  for sports. Sports start at 600/1600 - 799/1799. The NBA already has 1632...

Not enough room in that range.  There is nothing from 1932 to 2500 so there is more than enough room to have all 30 teams to have their own cannel and not interfere with any other programming.

Yes, Time Warner Cable here in San Diego has had NHL Center Ice w/o The NHL Network for several years.

Doesn't NBA TV broadcast Euro league games? A lot of what can be broadcast from Europe may have to do with licensing rights. NBATV, ESPN, or whoever would decide to show European league games in the United States may have to barter with the European sport channels.

Not that you'd NEED each team to have its own channel, but that would certainly be a novel concept. Fans of the LA Lakers, NY Knicks, etc. would automatically know that their team is on whatever channel, and wouldn't have to look it up each time.

Of course, Time Warner could still have an older arrangement. For all we know, the NHL could have ideas for NHL Network.

In fact, it's on DirecTV's Choice Xtra package, which is probably somewhere between AT&T's U-200 and U-300. It used to be that the NHL was happy with placement on a Sports Pack, but this may appear to be no longer the case.

NHL Network is also given to all DirecTV subscribers who have Center Ice.

In Dallas, these channels now appear in the Guide!
