I was watching the game last night and it cut out three times with a "We'll be right back" message during the fourth quarter and overtime for around thirty seconds each time.

They also black out all games on NBA TV, which means I have to watch NBA TV's horrible commentary. And the games aren't HD and are letterboxed.

I live in the Bay area now so I don't really have a choice but to either use League Pass or watch streams which are delayed by several seconds.

Does anyone else have it?

I have it, but the web (?) version. It's pretty sweet and none of the things that you mention happened to me while watching. I love the "away/home/tnt/whatever feed" feature that has been added some seasons ago. But I spend way too much time watching, that might be the only downside.

Wait, even if you have a cable subscription and are watching on television, they're still 8 seconds delayed?

The lag is due to operational delay as well as intentional delay i.e, Broadcast delay. Commonly, the intentional delay is about 7 seconds that is the broadcast will automatically only be sent out after 7 s from when it is recorded.

Why do we sometimes hear anchors curse during the news (on other channels) or players curse during games?

It's no big deal for cable...I think they do it to save on fines?

It's hard to get 100% of them when the players are cursing as much as they do, but a lot of times during games you notice the audio go out for a second and come back, and it isn't because the audio cut out or lagged, it's because one guy call the other guy a mother (bleep).

I had it for a couple of years, but it is worse than illegal streams. Decided to use that money for VPN service instead.
