NBA League Pass - Anyone else having this problem?

[fairweatherfan]

I'm trying to test out the League Pass Broadband tonight, and I am getting an obscene amount of lag during game play - like, literally every 2-3 seconds it locks up, loses picture, etc.  It's the same for both games I can view.  This was on my desktop, so I've set up my laptop, and dedicated it entirely to running League Pass, uninstalling every extraneous program and closing every extraneous process.  Same problem.  I should point out it ran more or less fine on my regular computer and my laptop, with or without additional programs running, last year.  Also I've tried it through IE and Firefox, with no appreciable difference.

I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem, mainly to figure out if I should be cursing at NBA.com or Comcast.  I'm hoping the free preview period may have something to do with it.

could it be that since it's free right now there is just too many people on the server?

Hopefully, but I'm not sure people are flooding the server to watch Portland-Houston

Wow - the Houston-Portland game is at 2:53 of the 4th on my computer - according to ESPN.com, it's already over.  Awesome, glad I dropped a buck-thirty-five on this.  See you guys an hour and half after the Bobcats game ends tomorrow!

I saw you tried both Firefox and IE, but for me IE was working lag free and a nice picture. Firefox was choppy.

Believe me, I'd have it on cable if stupid Comcast would carry it around here.  But stupid Comcast does not.  And I can't get dish service in my apartment.

Hmm it was choppy for me in Firefox as well. I'll try IE some other night.
