213-1 MLB Network Alternate has returned for the season

Any update on directv putting Twins TV available to subs? I know a month ago they were testing it but today is the first Twins spring training game on it.
My mom called me because there was a huge article in the Minneapolis paper about it being on tv and they don't show it on Directv right now.

They probably won't add it until Opening Day

 

[Mr Tony]

Well I found the article my mom supposedly read
Half way through the article they mention how to view it today

Now for the inconvenience: Streaming Sunday's game (free for those who have signed up for regular-season games) is the only way to watch Provus' broadcast at the moment. MLB has yet to strike a deal with cable and satellite platforms like Comcast, Cox Communications, Spectrum TV, DirecTV and numerous small rural carriers to simulcast Twins.TV's coverage.
MLB is handling those negotiations for the teams, like the Twins, that have left their regional sports network. The Twins remain "confident," two sources with knowledge of the negotiations said, that those talks will be successful and the team will be able to announce what channel on each carrier will be dedicated to those broadcasts.
But that announcement might not come until the day before Opening Day.

The error is it's the free game of the day so you don't need to be a mlb sub yet
