NBA League Pass / GameTime 2010-2011 Update?

Okay League Pass Mobile is either seriously buggy or I seriously messed mine up.

Here's my experience for tonight....I'm in Denver and wanted to try watching the Utah/Denver game, which is of course blacked out for me. So first I downloaded and installed the Location Spoofer app, and spoofed my location to be somewhere in North Carolina (don't care if it blacks out Bobcats games for me lol). Then I downloaded and installed League Pass. So far so good. The Nuggets game appeared as available for me while the Bobcats game appeared as blacked out.

Well it almost worked, but not quite. I was indeed able to view the Denver game. However, whenever I clicked to watch any other game, the Utah/Denver game came on. So initially the only game I was able to see was Utah/Denver. Well now I began a long process of re-booting, re-installing, re-spoofing, etc. and Gametime/League Pass was all sorts of messed up. Most of the time it would say that all of the games were blacked out and it wouldn't let me watch anything. Sometimes the games appeared as available to watch but I clicked watch and either nothing would happen or the app would crash. I never was able to get back to watching the Utah/Denver game.

Finally I gave up on spoofing and right now there's only one game left going on (HOU/GS) and still the app keeps changing its mind whether it's blacked out for me or not. Still getting occasional crashes. When the video is working, quality is acceptable on Wifi, a little better than on 3G but not by much. If you've ever watched Slingbox Mobile before the quality is similar, though in the brief moments I was able to watch the sound was pretty poor.

Anyway it's hard to tell if the app really is this buggy or if my tinkering is messing it up. I'll play with it a little more tomorrow night and I'll probably uninstall to get my $45 back. Honestly I don't even really have a reason to hack the blackouts since I can watch all the local games via Slingbox anyway, I just wanted to see if it would work.

Well I wasn't able to get the GameTime app from the Market, so I tried AppBrain and voila. Got it downloaded. Seems to work...

Problem now is, I have the full season League Pass subscription. I'm supposed to have the ability to watch games on my phone. There is no where that I can find in the app to input my subscription information. I just have a "buy now" button...

I've send them an email and hopefully they'll have more info for me/us.
