Reign of Terror is over! Pelicans leaves BallySports. (1 Viewer)

So ridiculous that in today's age of technology, that we need an antenna to watch our professional NBA team. Can it get any more amateurish than that?

It is, but damn, at this point I am just hoping that I can even do that.

The small market teams that do this have the most success financially. A 30 dollar antenna vs monthly fees is a no brainer

Disagree. I do not think most require antennas. That is so pathetic to have to use an antenna to watch an NBA game. It requires all games be watched live (with no delay, ffw, pause or rwd).

Well what options would you have when the only option was paying an exorbitant fee to a terrible streaming service? Even when games were on CST folks who didn't have Cox still couldn't watch. CST wasn't on Playstation Vue nor YTTV. YT dropped FoxSports RSNs when Diamond/Bally's thought their sheet didn't stink and upped the prices like they were ESPN.

Hell, I still might not be able to watch and I'm IN MARKET due to the construction of my apartment.

Channel launched a couple days ago. Will need to re-scan your antenna to pick it up. Locally channel 7.

Hol up. The game is at 12:30 pm on Monday? A game right in the middle of a regular work day???

Probably trying to avoid the Saints MNF game. But again, with an antenna being the ONLY option in the entire market, no way to tape and watch later. Sad that we have an NBA team being run like a minor league when it comes to allowing fans to view.

Phoenix Suns are doing the same thing now too . Just FYI. Guess you can’t please everyone. Even on free TV.

If you read the article, it says - So, for fans viewing outside of a cable, satellite or streaming service that doesn’t offer channel 3, or those who simply just have a TV, these antennas will now grant access to the necessary channel. And all for free, thanks to the giveaway.

S, that is for those who do not have cable. We do not even have that option here.

You can avoid the Saints MNF by having the game on a tuesday night. Very very strange decision. Basically will be an empty arena and the players will be sleep walking. Lots of people won't be able to even listen to the game. Crazy.

Y’all acting like it is the end of the world. It’s the first preseason game. Zion even playing? I would not keep any starters in for long. If anything it will be more of a scrimmage. Both teams figuring things out.

Dude, stop. This is a trend that is going on nationally since at least last season and isn't limited to the NBA. Cough up $20 for a cheap antenna join the millions who couldn't watch the Pelicans then, but can now.

Ahead Of The 2024-25 Season More NBA Teams Have Dropped Their RSN

With a new NBA season starting soon, this month two additonal NBA franchises dropped their regional sports network, bringing the number to four. More can be expected.

So calling out how basically nobody will see this game is acting like it's "the end of the world"? Nice.

Some of us are basketball fans. Yes I would very much like to see the 1st preseason game because I'm looking at about 16 players. Even more including the Magic. Not just 1.

Antennas are popular again because of the recent cord cutting trend. I watch most Saints games through an antenna.

Considering what Pels fans were dealing with since they came to New Orleans in 2002, this agreement with Gray Television is a huge upgrade that will provide access to everyone, yet we still have some complaining about having to use a low tech antenna.

Regarding DVR, I use Air TV Now to record games that I watch with an antenna

So simple question... can I watch today's game on Fox 8... or do I need an antenna... or what?
