thanks for sharingggg

before saying this not worth, you sure you followed all steps for this method? I used this method to watch NBA since the season start, without any problem other than manual mistake done myself. can you tell us more detail about the not working case?

I only encounter the 2-hours lockout because of not using indian VPN to login, and it will only lock me for around 2 hours so far. Never tried to have yours like locking for overnight. And reinstalling/unlinking should not be working as there should have some data stored on the NBA side everytime you login, so you uninstall on the client side cant help at all. I turn off VPN everytime during watching games and so far no problem if the game duration is within 2 hours. Several time that the game have OT/longer than 2 hours, they will lock me up. So I guess their checking algorithms is like 1) check the record on their side for your NBA account, whether is recorded in indian, if yes then good to go. If no record, then check your ip at that moment. And of course if there are record showing you are not from indian ip, then you are locked up. And this process will repeat every 2 hours, so when you are watching long game over 2 hours, you will be blocked after 2 hours from your first login.

Sad that I also encounter the 2-hours lockout this morning when I want to watch the lakers game live (I live in HK and its morning for me to watch live game). I was still following my old method in starting up the app as usual and I believe I didnt forgot anything. But just now I can use the same method to watch the achieved game without any problem, so maybe I accidentally launched the app without VPN this morning. My iPhone is in 7.1019, iPad in 7.0928 & iPod in 7.1031, all are not in latest version and I am still thinking whether update or not. BTW, i found that the app will check whether you are in india or not once every 2 hours, so if you recored a indian VPN and you should be able to watch game with that NBA account on any device for that 2 hours. I am not sure in what scenario you encounter the 2-hours lockout, whether during you are watching or before watching, but I guess the NBA side should have update nothing in this field

I just tested from TTA No Advertising!, but i would not recommended you to use it. if you really install that patched app, take your own risk

well maybe there's some misunderstanding in between. Let me make it clear, no matter what version you are using, you need a VPN to make a record to fool the app that you are in india. This is needed for both patched or normal NBA app. What patched app do is that it can ignore the 2 hours lock of the app. With patched NBA app, you can watch live or stream much more easily, I personally use normal NBA app and wont recommend using the patched one.

Happy to see Joeblow made a nice summery! Here's some other result from my previous testing, the NBA app should not be able to detect you streaming from a indian ip or not once you login successfully with a indian VPN and able to watch game. or maybe they can detect but they wont stop you from watching once you used indian VPN to login. As I have been using my ipad to watch games without any VPN used on this device, and every time I want to watch game on it, I first login my NBA account on my iPhone with indian VPN to "record" my ip as an indian one on the NBA server. Then i can watch games on every device I have with the same NBA account login. (except for apple tv, see if anybody can use this method and successfully watch on apple tv, please let me know) Also, you can choose to purchase the LP from iap on the NBA app via itunes, not necessarily via a browser. But a VPN throughout the purchase process is a MUST. Until now, I still can't figure out any method to fix the 2 hours "record" problem if you have non-indian ip recorded on their server. But patched version of NBA app do can bypass this and allow you to watch games with indian LP even you have a non-indian ip recorded. Personally I wont recommended using this as it may bring you some security problem. It seems the web version of LP and app version are separated as I never encounter problem on web browser with indian LP and VPN. some users are emailing NBA and NBA replied that they do noticed the problem of the app. I am not sure will they fix it but just be careful to launch app with VPN temperately fix this problem.
