Should really be called NBA Buffer Pass International, because this product provided by the NBA is utterly useless. Not to mention, it’s not even HD as they have labeled it.

Here I was thinking this season I’d be able to watch all the NBA games that I’d miss on TV due to the time differences and being at work, but no.. load up a live game and it just buffers every 15 seconds. Archived games aren’t too much better. It’s not like I have a slow connection either; I’m on a 22Mbit connection at home which is plenty of bandwidth.

I guess this may sound like a bitching session to some, but, I wanted to post this to make other people who may want to potentially purchase it next year to really reconsider, especially when games can be obtained via other methods, much faster and in better quality. Not that I am condoning this type of activity, but the options are there.
