Oh, I completely forgot, but meant to post this for Gary and Kev earlier.
If you go to NBCSports.com and stream the games you can watch any game, even if on TV it's currently being preemtped by another game. I know it's not ideal, but it keeps you from getting completely screwed like happened earlier. And I'm shocked that I've watched 70% or so of the playoffs this way (because it frees up the TV), simply because it's actually a really good quality stream. Not going to be the big screen HD experience, but I don't feel like I'm missing much.
