NBL TV

Big thumbs up from me.

Watched the WCats game - excellent quality.

Destroys the AFL's pitiful efforts.... You love local ball - get on it.

4 Hooves from me

Is it free or...?

 

[silverscope]

It's like $70 for the season IIRC. (Get to it via the nbl site)

Yep $69 - I or it or $59 on an early bird deal.

Pretty good value for every game

I got home late and drunk last night. Watched the Wildcats games on the video on demand feature, and the highlights of the other game Kings v Gong.

The picture quality was good and the streaming pretty smooth. Still waiting to see what it's like for a live match.

Good to hear they have it working well and probably one of the best initiatives the NBL have done in a long time to try and get things running with the free-to-air and streaming available. Probably wont watch any of it unless I stumble across it on One or Ten but reckon what they're doing is right for local basketball.

I watched 1 live & 1 replay - both exactly the same quality

I can't get Breakers and 36ers game to stream nicely. Tried a few times now and it just freezes a few minutes in, even before the game starts. Tried it both last night and tonight. Just wont stream smoothly for me.

 

[Admiral Byng]

Is it just me, or is the quality of the streaming getting worse? I can hardly get it to work on the computer now, I switch to the iPhone. But that's a rather small picture to watch a whole game.

Also, anyone know if/when they will release an app for android tablets? I've got one of those, but it seems the NBL only cater for Apple products right now.

The Melbourne Tigers have signed Jonny Flynn (number 6 pick in the 2009 NBA draft).

Huuuuuuge fall from grace but great news for the Tigers. They need it.

 

[Dez!]

Surely he could have got a multimillion dollar deal in China?

 

[RoosterLad]

Apparently he's not chasing the cash, just wants to be in the best shape possible as he hopes to get picked up by an NBA team, hence the clause in his contract. That is what I read elsewhere, I can't find any quotes from Flynn regarding that.

He could make his debut against the 6ers this Friday, hopefully it's on TV... not so I can see Flynn but the 6ers are playing good ball this season.

I. Am. Shocked.

 

[PHX]

Indeed. Going by China during the lockout they wouldn't have allowed a mid-season opt-out clause.

The Perth Wildcats are so far ahead of other NBL clubs in terms of off the court stuff. They just tweeted that that are up to 7045 members (other teams would be estatic to get that many people to a single game) and 10000 tickets had been pre-sold to their first home game just 7 hours after they went on sale. Lift your game, other NBL clubs!

Thats very impressive for the NBL, I saw the crowd figures for the first couple Tigers home games at Hisense Arena and they were around the 5500 mark, which I think they would be relatively pleased about.

Just checking in tonight - seems to be an Android app available now. Was previously only Apple.

 

[Admiral Byng]

Android app seems to work beaut now. Had some problems getting it to work previously.

Nope it has certainly dropped off in quality.

I'd rather they charge more and make it work
