Question to other League Pass subscribers

[wicksy]

Cheers guys, I figured that would be the case. $300+ is pretty damn steep for one person. I have foxtel, but it looks like they don't play even close to all the games.

Foxtel is absolute garbage dude...

This is what i'm doing for the 2015/2016 sport season:

VPN (Private Internet Access) = $8/mth
LP = $170ish/year
International AFL (using VPN) = $100ish/year
Netflix (US using VPN) = $14ish/mth

Total year cost = $534
Total year cost of Foxtel (assuming only essentials, sport and no HD) = $600 with free installation

No brainer?
Plus... with a VPN, you are free to download in peace... Just remember to make sure your VPN is switched on prior to loading up torrents


EDIT: International AFL is actually $25 a month so approx $150-200 (AFL only half of the year).....Still cheaper than Foxtel though.

I've looked into that, but at the moment I'm not about to rely on my current internet connect to get me all those things in HD without buffering etc. We're building right now and our new joint will have nbn so I'll be checking it out then. Thanks though. I can't wait to drop foxtel.

FYI... My connection is roughly 8mb (download max of 1mb-ish).... Stream never buffers using NBA and Netflix... Haven't tried AFL yet.

Anyone use League Pass with Apple TV?

I have no problems at all logging in on my PC, however when I try to log in with my Apple TV it always comes up with Login/Password errors and I am wondering if it is because my DNS is set to UnblockUS so I can watch US Netflix?

Anyone have similar issues?

Yet to try this so only passing along info after emailing unblockus. Apparently if you're using the vpn on your computer, heading into league pass should automatically direct you towards Mexican prices as that is their default (I believe it is significantly cheaper). You're able to purchase it at the cheaper price using Australian details.

So if you using unblockus on Apple TV there should be no issues using the league pass app. I'm not sure what happens if you wanted to access your Australian league pass account using an Apple TV that has unblockus.

 

[Bulldog1954]

believe the answer is no. only 1 person can be logged in to their account at once

I was looking at splitting league pass wth my brother.

I understood that if I was watching on my xBox he could be logged on, on his phone or laptop at the same time? Just not on the same type of device. Is this wrong?

Also if I buy it through a Candian proxy (about 175 AUD) is there any difference? Are there any downsides to buying it through a proxy?

Not 100% sure on the devices but i think its one login no matter what device

Buying through proxy has no impact on watching. Theres really no downside to it.

One device at a time mate.

Pretty absurd when you think about it. Netflix, Spotify etc all have account sharing. In the past I have always been happy to buy league pass, but struggling to justify it at 400 this year, particularly if I barely use it like I have in the last two years.

Hoping Ballstreams comes good by next week.

 

[mitchzz]

I purchased mine through Moldova this year cant believe after all these years they done have a "start from the beginning" button so you dont have to try avoid the score when click on the game

 

[FreoRicci]

Is there a thread/forum where it details the step by step process of getting League Pass.. Still can't get it.

 

[Superstar swan]

So we can come into games and watch them from the start now?? Thank god for that

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Sitting in the first row for the first time in a long time.

Thanks, Ballstreams.

 

[Connoisseur]

I don't have a credit card I just have paypal. The last time I tried paying pretending to be in another country to get a cheaper price it didn't have the Paypal option for some reason. Has anyone on this board successfully used Paypal to pay for a cheaper offer in another country?

 

[Sw3Et]

I don't have a credit card

You can use a debit card too. Just ask your bank to send you out one and they should do it for free.

 

[offtherails9]

It's telling me
'
*** PLEASE NOTE *** There was an error processing payment using the payment option you supplied. If paying by PayPal, please try again at a later time. If paying by credit card, please check that the billing address you entered matches the address on your credit card account or use a different credit card and try again. If you need further help with your purchase, please contact customer support.'

But all my info is correct, anyone else has this problem?

 

[mitchzz]

I think you maybe misunderstood what I meant, although I did have a typo

I mean that when a game is going there should be an option to "watch from beginning" instead of having to click on the game and have it automatically go to the live telecast with live scores. Ballstreams has it and it is handy

Thanks, Ballstreams.

Is ballstreams up and running or still stuck on the one page?

 

[Bobber]

Anyone able to see condensed version for todays games yet ???
I am only seeing the Home Version and a Spanish version...... pretty annoying

Still 'servicing existing members only'.

Been like that for weeks hasnt it?!?

Just came on to ask the same thing...on PC I've only got the full game. I'll check the gametime app on the PS4 shortly.

 

[Connoisseur]

Yeah I was hoping there was a way to keep the NBA from knowing my card details since they're in the habit of 're-newing' contracts every year without my consent. It happened to me once with a newspaper subscription hence I try to avoid giving any business my details over the internet if possible.

 

[fidstar]

It's pretty easy not to renew. They even send you emails about it coming up.
