Thinking of going with League Pass Broadband instead of via Dish Network this year.

The NBA.com site is fairly vague so i figured I'd throw this out to my Celtics brothers and sisters for advice. A few questions:


1. What "box" do you use/like? Are they all the same as far as LP Broadband goes? Does anyone know if you can use LP Broadband on the Wii?

(I'm considering an Apple TV... But it looks like I'd buy a special Apple TV League Pass <https://account.nba.com/appletv>, that's confusing....)


2. If you sign up for LP Broadband can you switch watching on an Xbox, laptop, iPad for different games?

(I.E. is the subscription "portable"? if I start on Apple TV and decide to get a Roku instead can i just sign in on the new box?)


3. "DVR functionality" -- I assume this means I can pause/rewind the live stream... does it mean i can schedule recordings of games?

(I see this isn't available on Apple TV: https://account.nba.com/appletv)


4. "Full Season On-Demand Archive" -- how does this work? I assume it means i can pick any game to watch AFTER it's been completed?


Tommy points for any assistance!!!

Ok, I have international league pass broadband, so, I can't answer all your questions, but, here are the ones that I can answer for you.

1) I have a media centre PC hooked up straight to my TV at home, that is how I watch it.  My friends hook their laptop via HDMI cable to their TV.  I have a PS3, and that is not compatible with NBA League pass, I am not too sure about the Wii.
2) Typically, you can only be signed in to one device at a time.  I learned this the hard way as my brother (whom I gave a login to) would log in, and kick me out in the process, to watch a game whilst I am watching a game, extremely frustrating.
3) This I am not too sure about, I don't record any of the games as all games are on demand, which leads to the last point:
4) Exactly, you can watch any game you want at any time.  They give you approximately up to a month after the season is done to watch any game you want from the previous season. 

Personally, I am from Australia, we get ESPN on cable, but, that is it.  So, my only options is watch 2 x double headers per week, or getting the league pass.  I love it, best money I have spent.

Hope this helps.
