NBA League Pass question

[timpiker]

I paid for the League Pass for the year.  X number of games got cancelled and now there will be 8 "seeding" games all on regular TV.  So the "League Pass" is not needed at all to view the rest of the season.  Correct?  Does anyone know if there's going to be some kind of a refund?

I was also wondering about this. I was bracing myself for Comcast to try to charge me to 'renew' league pass to see the restart games.

Don't hold your breath. Pretty sure the small print allows them not to refund us anything.

I just reviewed the info on the League Pass website and found nothing so I submitted the question to them.

Good news, here's the reply -
 
"We have gone ahead and processed a 15% refund for your Boston Celtics Team Pass subscription. Please allow 3-5 business days for the refund to be returned to your account."

Not sure why I had to ask or what "returned to your account" means but at least I get something.  I think the 15% is more than fair and maybe its a credit for next year, which I plan on getting again.   I've done this for several years now (I live in Michigan) and its perfect for me.  My only complaint is around 8pm EST the video starts to buffer from all the traffic.  My internet speed is well over 300 so I know its not me, its the NBA's issue and I've complained about if for years.

I have Comcast but the year I got the League Pass thru Comcast I found out that all the games except 1 are in SD, not HD.  So I use my computer monitor, sit in the den and don't bother the wife.  Works good for me.

TP for the Intel.  And I thought they would blow us off.

I have a related question:  If the remaining games are on TNT and/or ESPN and/or ABC, and I am about to cut my cable services so I only have online content, will I be unable to watch any of the remaining games online through a streaming service??

There are streaming services that will allow you to watch those stations.  We are considering the same decision, and will likely go to Hulu Live.  YouTube TV and Sling are both options as well, I think.

Thanks, saltlover, TP to you bro.
