So maybe someone knows something? Is it really no live games for these countries?

[JGX]

Someone else probably has streaming rights for those countries.

FIBA is a better solution IMO if you are stuck with internet..
games without interruptions, no searching for alternate working links, every game live, great pic quality..
and 30 € or 40 € (for both women and men) is not so much..
although it is more expensive then it was last year (probably because it is WC)..
my 1 year subscription expired on august 2 this year and I think i payed 30 € for the whole year and there were a lot of championships to watch in that year..

At least you can watch replays of the games as many times you want on Fiba Tv There will be lots of streams on internet anyways . Serbian Television will broadcast all games thanks god

Fibatv is a bit of a resource hog, but it's worth it. I bought the package for the WC couple of weeks before, at the "early purchase" price of 25 euros. IMO 25 euros for full access on all the games in high quality video and sound without any agony over finding working links and the ability to watch whole games of previous tournaments is definitely worth it

So can you explain to me, I am from Lithuania(you can`t watch many live games from there) But now I`m in Denmark, I should see ALL games, but today there was free live game usa vs greece on fiba.tv but I still could`nt watch it(it said that sorry you are unable to access this content,this live streaming is not available in your country.)But I`m in Denmark!

Can't speak for the other countries, but in the USA if you have one of these ISP's http://espn.go.com/espn3/affList, every game will be streamed live for free on ESPN3.

The two games of the USA vs. Spain and Greece were only available in a few countries.

Where did you find that list of blocked countries?
If you are in Denmark, you should get the games without any problem

[usausa]

In the US, we have to watch using ESPN3.com, but I am not sure if it will work outside the country.
