NBA TV Broadband Offers Video Highlights

By Geoff Duncan November 9, 2005

The National Basketball Association has launched NBA TV Broadband, an online, advertiser-supported package of NBA video highlights available for free via NBA.com.

NBA TV Broadband will carry in-game highlights of every NBA game from the 2005-06 basketball season, plus carry, TNT Overtime programming from the TNT cable network’s basketball announcers. Fans will be able to view game highlights after the first half of the game, and highlights from the entire game once play is completed. NBA TV Broadband will also carry selections from NBA TV programming, including a daily recap of NBA games, talk segments about league events, interviews, behind-the-scenes coverage, and NBA TV Fantasy Hoops, a guide for fantasy basketball players. The segments will also feature Top Plays, Top Dunks with the night’s top ten plays from around the NBA, the day’s best play, and the best dunk.

“NBA TV Broadband delivers the ultimate rich media experience that NBA fans crave,” said Brenda Spoonemore, Senior Vice President of Interactive Services for NBA Entertainment. NBA TV Broadband will be supported by advertising; Toyota has signed on as the presenting sponsor, and the service will carry ads from Reebok, Nike, Converse, Sony PlayStation, 20th Century Fox Home Videos, and other throughout the season.

Basketball fans with some computer savvy can also subscribe to an NBA TV Broadband RSS feed to receive video directly to their desktops.

NBA TV Broadband relies on Windows Media to deliver video content.

How to reset the Nanoleaf Skylight

The Nanoleaf Skylight lighting up a room various shades of purple.

The Nanoleaf Skylight is a unique piece of hardware. Unlike most Nanoleaf products that are quick to install or easy to move and replace, the Skylight is designed as a permanent fixture in your home. Instead of simply plugging it into an electrical outlet, you'll need to hardwire it onto your ceiling – and once it's in place, you'll want it to stay there for years.

However, like all electronics, it's possible for your Nanoleaf Skylight to start acting up. And since there's no easy way to get the entire unit down from your ceiling, you might be wondering how you can quickly solve the problem. Thankfully, Nanoleaf designed a simple way for you to reset the Nanoleaf Skylight without the need to disassemble the entire setup.

That sort of functionality doesn't come cheap, with both products carrying hefty price tags that'll put a big dent in your budget.

Because they're so expensive, you'll want to pay close attention to the differences between these two robot vacuums. Both are great additions to any household, but one might be a better fit for your needs than the other.
