No streams on NBA today?
3:13pmbilly
none are televised
3:13pmbs_Meticode
I'm guess it depends on local media since it's pre-season?
3:13pmbilly
yep
3:14pmsteve-0
a lot of times if a channel has it, its only in local market a lot of the time
3:15pmbilly
but tonight, even the local channels dont have it
3:15pmbs_Meticode
I'm guessing that probably means LP doesn't even have it
3:16pmbilly
LP may have a very poor scoreboard feed
3:16pmsteve-0
bs_Meticode might have some but
3:16pmbilly
with no announcers
3:19pmbs_Meticode
Are those types of games more likely to be streamed during the regular season without issues?
3:19pmbilly
yea
3:19pmbilly
there's always going to be a feed during the regular season

How do you have access to streams like this? It would seem like you'd need a lot of man power for it I'm just curious how you would stream 10+ games a night from different locations.
3:31pmbilly
there is a lot of man power
3:32pmbs_Meticode
And you've been doing Hockey like this for years without any issues?
3:33pmbilly
yep
3:36pmbs_Meticode
Can you explain do me how freezing the account works exactly?
3:37pmbilly
say you're subscribed through next october
3:37pmbilly
but there's no basketball on between june and september, you can freeze your account for those months so that time doesn't tick away
3:38pmbs_Meticode
It's freezing and unfreezing unlimited?
3:38pmbilly
it's limited in the sense that once you freeze it, you cant unfreeze it until the time you set comes
3:38pmbilly
but you can freeze/refreeze as many times as you want as soon as it unfreezes
3:39pmbs_Meticode
So technically couldn't you just buy maybe a 3-month pass, then only watch the 82 games your favorite team plays and keep freezing/unfreezing for the days they play and the days they're off
3:39pmbilly
nope
3:39pmbilly
the minimum freeze time is 1 week
3:39pmbilly
maximum is 3 months
3:39pmbilly
(at a time)
3:40pmbilly
so you'd miss a couple games a week if you were to do that
3:41pmbs_Meticode
Understandable...how long does your year last? Say I buy 1 full year, and at the end of the regular season in April I freeze my account until Say late October of 2014, can I still use it through next season?
3:41pmbilly
the memberships are 100% time based
3:41pmbilly
so 1 year, is a full 12 months
3:41pmbilly
then you can extend it a bit by freezing your account here and there
3:42pmbs_Meticode
But you can't go past the 1 year mark of the subscription correct
3:42pmbilly
sure you can
3:42pmbs_Meticode
Ahhh okay
3:42pmbs_Meticode
So tehcnically what I said can be done?
3:42pmbilly
not in that micro of a sense, but yes
3:43pmbilly
if your team were to play on the same day every week, that could work
3:44pmbs_Meticode
Well no, I meant the second thing I mentioned. That I buy 1 year today, then in April I freeze it which would leave me another 5-6 months left, can i unfreeze it for October of 2014
3:44pmbilly
yep
3:44pmbilly
you'd have to refreeze it re-activates
3:44pmbilly
since the maximum freeze time is 3 months at a time
3:45pmbs_Meticode
so at the 3 month mark just refreeze it again and that's totally fine?
3:45pmbilly
yup
