So, I’ve been wanting to catch the Trail Blazers games, and I finally figured out how to do it this season. It was a bit of a journey, but here’s how it went down.

First, I heard about this new thing called the Rip City TV Network. Apparently, the Blazers started this network to make it easier for folks in the Pacific Northwest to watch their games. I thought, “Cool, I’m in the Pacific Northwest, this should be easy!” I started to find out how to get this Rip City TV Network.
Then, I found that I could just use an antenna to get the Rip City TV Network and watch the games over-the-air. That sounded pretty straightforward. I hooked up my antenna, and started searching for the channel, but I couldn’t find it.
After a bit of trial and error, I realized that maybe my old antenna wasn’t cutting it. So, I decided to upgrade to a better one. I went out, got a new antenna, hooked it up, and tried again. Still no luck! I was starting to get a little frustrated, I just wanted to watch my team play.
Then I remembered something called BlazerVision. This is the Trail Blazers’ own streaming service. I figured, why not give it a shot? I went to the official website and looked into it. The process seemed simple enough. I just needed to sign up.
I signed up for BlazerVision, which cost me around $120 for the season. There’s also a monthly option, but it’s not available in October. Once I was signed up, I could finally watch the games on my TV, my phone, or on my computer. It was pretty great to have that flexibility. I could stream the games live, or even watch replays later if I missed them.

So, in the end, I tried the old-school antenna route first, but ended up going with the streaming option through BlazerVision. It’s been working out pretty well. Now I can follow the Blazers wherever I am, as long as I have an internet connection. It’s a bit of a pain having to pay, but hey, it’s worth it to catch all the action.
Overall, getting set up to watch the Trail Blazers wasn’t as simple as I initially thought, but I eventually figured it out. Whether you’re using an antenna or streaming, the important thing is that there are options now to watch the games more easily. Go Blazers!
