c.i. thanks for the tip but unfortunately the local tv and cable tv providers in Australia can only give me a modified version of ESPN which only has 2 games of the NBA a week which isn't enough. I am trying to get more coverage before the next season starts.

Is DIRECTV or Dish available there? I dunno, but through those services you can subscribe to NBA League Pass which broadcasts a bunch of games.

You gonna be up at all hours of the night to watch?

ESPN is broadcast, in US format, into Indonesia. As far as I know you need a big dish, (at least two or three metres), and a signal converter box from Indonesia. If you have a friend over there they can buy it and register it in Indonesia, then send you the box over. I don't actually know the full legality, or otherwise, of it but the box has to be registered at an Indonesian address so at the very least there is a lie being told.

Thanks for the tip on ESPN Indonesia. It gives me something to chase up.
