How Do You Enjoy Watching The Pacers Play?

[This is a sponsored post. -TL]

The Indiana Pacers are back in action tonight against the Charlotte Bobcats. Once again, the game will be broadcast in HD on Fox Sports Indiana.

My question to you is: How do you enjoy watching a Pacers' game?

I can no longer remember when I first started using a DVR but it is hard to consider living without the option now. Recording a game on DVR has alway been a great option, allowing me to watch the game at my convenience. But with the advancements of technology and social media, simply recording a game on DVR to enjoy whenever you'd like is no longer good enough.

Instead of just setting the DVR, I find the need to set an alarm for game time. Watching the game live with the ability to comment here and use Twitter to connect with other fans and media, also watching the game live, has made tuning in for the live broadcast a much more enjoyable experience.

With smart phone technology, those same connections can be made at the Fieldhouse while watching the game live. Whether in my family room or at the Fieldhouse, the corner bar-type discussions throughout the game with folks from around the world are sometimes more entertaining than the game.

Hopefully this season, the Pacers play on the court will at least match the enjoyment I receive from watching them play with all of my Pacers and NBA "friends" tuning in at the same time.

If I can't watch it live

I don’t generally tune in afterward because I’ll find out most of what I want to know from the box score.

Does anyone have the Mobile League Pass? I am very curious about the video quality of that…

Are they doing free trial right now of it too? I wanted to try out online league pass on Wednesday, but they black out the Pacers making it useless

the quality is good

it can bog down a laptop with the bandwith it takes up, but if you have enough memory it is great.

I have League Pass Broadband

That sounds like what you’re talking about with the laptop. But on NBA.com League Pass site, they are promoting a Mobile Version for cell phones. Wonering how that looks???

Just looked it up on NBA.com

44.95 a year? If it actually streams that could be a cool way to watch remotely. I’m gonna have to look into that!

I do...

Works great on my iPhone 4 from the Baltimore area. The only annoying thing is the digital scoreboard lags about 2 minutes behind the actual game! Wish U could hide it… Going to standard def aspect ratio let me see the broadcast scoreboard at the same time, so I find myself switching between hugh and standard def repeatedly when the announcers don’t say the score and I’ve lost track…

Update

Tonight they’ve “fixed” it where the scoreboard is actually a couple seconds ahead of the action!

I have to watch online, but it’s more reading though. Can’t actually watch the games.

I always check the box scores if I miss though.

I watch on the computer and chat with my Cornrows folk

‘cause I know I’m not getting TV time from the fiance to watch or discuss the Pacers! Gotta love the invention that is the interwebs.

This?

Or is there another chat area?

I don't enjoy watching the Pacers....

maybe I will if JOB gets fired or rather, if we get a head coach that actually has a game plan that isn’t; run up and down the court and just shoot. i feel that we have enough pieces to make a run at a playoff spot but with JOB at the helm, we’re looking at a 50 loss season.

dish

I have dish network, so I can’t watch Pacer games because Dish no longer carries Fox Sports. I’m thinking of switching. But O’Brien does need fired because he sucks. Go PACERS..hope to watch you guys soon!!!
