Never had a problem with livebasketball.tv before.
Maybe they did not expect the volume of users for the WC?
I have emailed them but I'm sure 100's have...
Not great timing.. Very steamed.. I paid $1 for this! Now I'm stuck watching on a grainy illegal stream!
Ugh so shit. Mine wont load and the operator of the so called "live" help isn't responding after saying hi and introducing herself.. total fucking shambles.

so i wanted to watch on my ipad - wasnt working. i thought well lets try it on my android phone - not working. so i decided fuck it, probably not working on mobile devices, have to get my laptop ouf of the bag but guess what - not working either. i hope they fix it until the usa game...
Firstrowsports is working ;)
Classic finish in the Croatia/Philippines game.
Finally got to speak to the help operator and she said that that lots of people are reporting the problem and that it has been escalated and will be resolved shortly.. 3 games have already been played and haven't seen any of them. Total bullshit.

Again the operator reckons it's the same issue that a few people have reported....
Frustrating...
Does anyone know any decent illegal streams?
I kept it buffering in the background and after a minute or two it came on. Watching Korea Angola now

I tried on a bunch of different devices, none were working, it is pretty obvious they have had a horrid start to this event but instead of acknowledging it what annoyed me was the message on the help page saying all is working well with their streams...I requested my money back and cancelled subscription.

Have been trying to connect to the live stream content for hours now... never seen such shitty streaming service. If they can't fix whatever the problem is within 1 day, than I'm surely cancelling.
Has anyone actually been able to get live streaming out of this? And has a possibility to prove it with a screenshot or something?

In Canada... I subscribed back in July and had absolutely no issues watching PBA games, the Asia Cup tournament in Wuhan, some of the u18 and Central America cup.
I queued the phi vs cro game 20 mintues before it started and the feed was working but very choppy using IE. I found it worked better with IE. Watching PBA games Chrome would not refresh the feed once it was lost. I tried chrome anyway and I still found it to be a little bit slow so I decided to try restarting my laptop and resetting my router.
Once I did that, it was over.... I havent been able to watch anything since. Just looks like its loading and nothing else.
I really hope they fix this issue fast.

I guess things like that happen some times, so I kind of understand. But on the other hand, it's been like that all bloody day. SO useless. Meanwhile, there's no response to my e-mails and no official statements on Facebook or Twitter. This is totally unacceptable. What are they trying to fix for 6 -or so- hours now?

Bitterly disappointed with fiba on a number of levels. They have geoblocked ALL live games that i can see on the sched (and were very sneaky about disclosing this), replays (if they ever materialize) may be gbd as well. I spent last night trying vpns with limited success, but i seems those with out geoblocking issues were no better off.
Well after my 1 dollar trial is over i aint re-newing!

Received email from Livebasketball.tv advising of issues due to demand!
Surely this is something they should have planned for?
Contact them to let them know if your issues.
Entire email received here:
Dear Live Basketball TV users
We are aware that many users are suffering access to the opening games of the FIBA Basketball World Cup today.
Firstly, please accept our most sincere apologies if you are affected by this.
The exceptional demand for the live games has taken our servers some time to adapt to. We are working to fix the platform and hope to deliver a more stable service to our subscribers for the rest of the event.
Further email communications will be sent to you when this fix is live and fully tested.
In the meantime, the Live Basketball TV Customer Services team are currently working to respond to all users who have contacted them today. If you were affected are yet to contact the team, we encourage you to do so by email at [email protected] The team will be extending the accounts of everyone who contacts them, and will confirm the extensions individually once they have been made.
Once again, we apologise for the issues many of you experienced.
Sincerely
Your Live Basketball TV team

Ask for a partial refund. That might make them work quicker. Our servers took some time to adapt is IT speak for they couldn't cope. Clearly hardware under resourced. With so many people unhappy with this service you now know the truth.

they said in 24 hours. and i said but that sucks thye may reveal the scores when i watch tonights game
she then revealed the "technical issues" are not yet resolved, i.e. you wont be watching shit tonight sucker!
so i guess we will all be watching replays a day later

They sent an email with apologies:
"We are able to confirm that a fix has been launched to the platform that will allow subscribers to successfully access live streams from the games today, starting at 1030 GMT. The work of our technical staff continues to ensure that we do not see a repeat of the issues again during the remainder of the event. "
It did work at 10:30 GMT. It doesn't work now that the live games are on though...

I don't think you can watch whole game replays on demand. I haven't been able to find anything but recap highlights. good bit of weasely advertising. apparently you have to watch the game live. oh yeah. streaming is totally not working- uk

I paid for the second time, as subscription description and price have changed. I was thinking they did some job on their side and would work. Unfortunately I have two subscritptions active and it still doesnt work.
For those who dont know if refund is possible I can confirm that you should start dispute procedure in your issuing bank for non delivery of services. If you bank will follow all required chargeback procedures you can 100% sure you will receive your money back.

@pug79. they normally have full game replays they are just running late on the world cup games.

after all, with $1 signup and something like $8.95/month after that they've receive a lot of money from all of use and im wondering, since weve received 0% service shouldn't we be entitled to something? paying money was our part of the deal- they've completely fallen short of their part. unfair and frustrated is all I can feel.
filaus
Years ago
yeah i feel you! i paid the 7.99 subscription.
and when they told me this morning that the replays were gonna be another 24 hours (i.e. abot 36 hours after the match) i was fuming. because it menat i would hear the scores (which i did!!) before i could watch the replay.
and yep ive sent many an email already. live support insisted i had no chance of getting a refund from them. so paypal would be the easiest recourse.
but seems to be working now. but yes agree shit that replays on demand are not timely as i would love to watch the some of the later games of today after work before the live games start.

they obviously just dont have the bandwith to keep up with the demand as it seems to work for some (sometimes). so far i have been able to watch four games (two each night) in slight delay, usually hopping on at half time.
im in singapore. using chrome on a mac book pro. not sure if it is making any difference at all, but I clear the browsers cache after each game.
basically after i hit play, i usually have to wait anywhere between five to fifteen minutes and then it works fine.
so far only one game i wanted (aus vs slovenia) the screen never got past the loading screen.
also while i think everyone should advise livesupport of their absolute hopelessness, i wouldnt take any notice of what they actually advise you. its the same old copy and paste bullshyte. i have had answers that dont actually relate to the question!!!

ive been a big ass whinger so ill give credit when credit is due. while its still annoying not having full replays, the live games still to be working okay right now.
