NBA League Pass vs IPTV
NBA League Pass costs $14.99–$39.99/month. It doesn't include nationally televised games (ESPN, ABC, TNT) — those are blacked out. IPTV gives you all national broadcasts without blackouts, for $10.33/month. The comparison is clear for anyone who wants to watch nationally broadcast games.
