Is it just me or does NBA.TV (aka the new League Pass) suck

Anyone else disappointed with their effort at this?

Most annoying things I've noticed so far:

*They give away if the game was an overtime even if you have 'score hidden' ticked. So don't bother watching the first 4 quarters of that game you were dying to watch once you were home from work.

*The replay qualities are in 1600 kbps instead of the old 3000 kbps.
This is what they claim, but some of the replays are just super nintendo blocky. I have super fast internet 2-3 megabytes a second, 3 month old $3k gaming PC and a 1080 samsung plasma, and the replays are like watching 500kbps on a first generation smartphone. Not all are like this, but one in 10 at least, which is simply not good enough.
A great example of this is the Utah vs Cleveland game that was on last night (Monday March 5th) and look how pathetic the resolution is.

*It's very hard to navigate without putting the scores on. You can't watch a replay and click to certain actions without the scores being on. ie: clicking a dunk or made basket is impossible- right?

Anyone else got any complaints about this?
I'm gonna compile a list of crap they need to fix.
I like the idea, and I like the free NBA TV, but they've got some annoying glitches.

Please correct any of the above if I'm just wrong or have missed something.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

Holy crap, I just realized what living in a third world country means. I watch games online via illegal sites...

I cancelled my computer subscription due to technical glitches with my password and user account and descrepancies on to what I paid for. Regrettable for sure, but I get enough NBA games on my existing basic Cable between TNT, ESPN, and ABC. A part of me is still really angry at the NBA for locking out its players and thereby screwing some times virtually out of existence. I miss Tommy and Mike though.
The beatings will continue until morale improves

yeah i live in England so watch the majority of games on demand and the OT button annoys me so much
Theres a feedback service and so many people have mentioned that OT button spoils games and they told me they were working on it..this was before the all star break

Also, they expect us to pay an additional fee for the NBA TV features? I've paid £140 already, can they not give me that for free?
