I'm Nationwide
Is anyone getting the NBA Free Preview tonight? I am trying to watch the HD game on channel 97 and it is blacked out for some reason. I have TCP and the HD packs. Anybody else? Do I have to be a NBA League Pass subscriber to get this even during the free preview?
 
Mark Cuban said the NBA wouldn't allow him to broadcast the game outside of Dallas.
 
Crap! First the local affiliates with the NFL, E* with the MLB vs D*, and now the NBA with themselves. Now that is STUPID! If aanything it should be blacked out there or wide open to showcase the NBA in HD. Can you say hello more subs?

Thanks BFG, now I can stop surfing back to it thinking it was a D* error that might clear up.
 
OK, once you told me that I saw this:

HDNet is offering high definition coverage of select Dallas Mavericks games in the Mavericks TV territory. You should have access to these games if:
you live within the local broadcast television territory for the Dallas Mavericks (most of Texas outside of Spurs and Rockets TV territory), and you are signed up to receive HDNet from DIRECTV or from one of the following cable providers:

Cebridge Connections
Charter Communications
OneSource Communications
Time Warner Cable

and if the first three digits of your zip code match the digits on this list:
750, 751, 752, 753, 754, 755, 756, 757, 760, 761, 762, 763, 764, 765, 766, 767, 768, 769, 783, 784, 785, 790, 791, 792, 793, 794, 795, 796, 797, 798, 799


If your cable or satellite provider is not included in this list, please contact them directly to request that they add HDNet and HDNet Movies.

Since these games are not part of our national HDNet programming, they will be provided via a special feed and may be aired by your service provider on a different channel than HDNet. Please check your on-screen guide for details.

Please feel free to email viewer@hd.net with any questions.


What is the NBA trying to prove with this very limited showing?
 
D* is showing the seperate channel, it's on ch 97 and non-dallas folks can't see it ;)
