If you've got Foxtel's sports package from Nov 15 you can watch ESPN 360 on the net for free.

Note that the free streams are generally pretty cr@p though. If you can afford about $150 for the entire season and you have good broadband speed - I'd say you'd want to be getting at least 10mb per sec - then I reckon the NBA intl league pass is pretty good value. Check out the details here:

And supports a great initiative that we have all been hanging for for so long. If people don't pay than these streams wont become available of good quality!
It truly is a world of get everything for free no matter what these days.

Yeah - it's nice that ILP is availible and all (i bought the so called HD reg+playoff package - )... But the people running ILP need to get their ###t together - the online archive games are pretty poor to absolute rubbish and not what i paid for. They are (allegedly) working on it - but still not happy that given last seasons dramas they are still running around like the little Dutch boy with the leaky dike.

Johnny, I agree that their access to their archived games is not up to scratch yet. I've been able to access the 'classic games' they've put up this year, but yesterday was trying to watch a replay of several different games from Fri/Sat and it just sat there and said 'loading' for 5 mins or more each time.
Nice that they have added the ability to rewind games though. I've used that quite a few times to review plays and also to go back and see a quarter I missed becase I was off doing something else!

I watched a few games from the archive last night HDMI'd to my 32 inch LCD and they looked pretty decent (i have to take my PC off ECO mode and the frame rate picks up significantly - whoops!) actually being pretty good fascimilies for broadcast games...
At the end of the day, as long as they capture all the T-Wolves games i will be happy...

Johnny and others, are you still having trouble accessing any replayed games? I can watch live games, but have not been able to watch replayed games for a few days now (though I can watch the 'classic' games).
I emailed RayV 5 mins ago, so will see what they say, but don't think its a problem my end.
Anyone else still getting this problem? Or heard anything from RayV / NBA?

Hey beantown read this:

ILP a disgrace - the people at RAYV and the NBA (for giving them the rights) should be ashamed of themselves...
The service being provided by ILP is ####... If you are thinking about buying it - DON'T. Or at least not until they do what they are supposed to do - and provide a service up to the level of a paid product...

I think we can kiss the Nov 1 games goodbye - i am sure they are in the ether somewhere... If a bricks and mortar company provided a service like this they'd be put out of business... Some of the so-called HD games look like standard youtube videos...
The live streams are good - but i bought the premium pack so i had 48 hr access to what i thought was HD archives... I - like a lot of people have a job during the day...

I don't want a refund i want the useless #$%&s to provide the service they claim to be able to deliver...

Agreed Johnny, it was fine last year, so I hope this is just some glitch that will be straightened out soon enough. I don't want to have to demand my money back... I want to watch NBA games dammit!
