    Default any league pass subscribers?

    can you watch the broadband league pass on multiple ip addresses at the same time. i did a google search and it seems that some say yes and some say no. basically the question is can you split the account between two or three people or will it be blocked for other ip addresses?

    I've only had LP on TV for the past 5 seasons or so but am in the process of setting up my broadband account. Can you please let me know when you get an answer?

    A season or so back a member here gave out their password for LP broadband during one of those free preview events. At least 2 of us were able to log on and get it going...all on at the same time. Undoubtably they don't check your IP once you get LP. Their concern is when you sign up...and that's what determines what games you are (or aren't) blacked out on.

    If what I'm saying is the case I'd be more than happy to go in to get a subscription.

    I wonder why I remember that?

    You, me and muttley were able to watch it but I have no idea if that'd work as far as getting Bobcat games for those of you in NC/SC, since that game we shared had no Bobcat TV coverage and thus wasn't subject to the blackout.

    Other than that, it SHOULD work but I don't want to say it will because I'm not sure.

    Yeah I wasn't going to name any names.

    You make a good point about whether the Bobcats were broadcasting it or not. The 1st year of FS I had LP, and the only ones not blocked out were those that weren't carried by us.

    LP broadband vs the crap streams we usually watch are night and day. I do remember having some drag because of the bandwidth it took up...but the quality is outstanding.

    Yeah, and since all but the ESPN games are carried on Sportsouth this year, I don't think you'd get any unless you were able to use a proxy IP. I've used LP broadband and it changes the blackouts based on where you are, so even if you sign up in NY if you're using it in NC the Bobcats are blacked out. Dunno if that goes for the regular TV LP though.

    so here are some of the answers i have found.
    1. i am pretty sure you can share it with a few people but if you have like 10 people up and running on one account they will notice. with multiple computer households and smartphones it is very plausible that one account could have 3 users on it at the same time legitimately ie one computer at home, 1 person on a smartphone across town and 1 on a laptop in another city. i just wanted to see if i could get actual confirmation
    2. the blackout thing is ip address dependent. it doesn't matter where you signed up for the account it matters where you are. so if you are on a computer in the blackout zone, it will be blacked out. unless...you use one of the many free sites that block you ip address like youhide.com. i have heard some conflicting accounts of this working vs. not working though.

    i want to get league pass for tv and was wondering if i could share the broadband with some friends who are nba fans but only use internet for tv. we could split it 3 ways but wanted to make sure both of them could watch at the same time or all of us if youhide works and i could stream the games since i am out of the inner market bullshit and direct tv doesn't show those to us.

    Now would be a good time to consider LP in any way shape or form. The Feds are busting the pirated streams. ATDHE has been shut down by the Dept. Of Homeland Security. I guess they are protecting us from broad band terrorist who might leave subliminal messages to kill US citizens.

    So for people who have games blacked out, are you able to see those games once they've been archived?
