And I cannot watch the games...
I tried to tune to them and it says that I need to purchase League Pass for $169 or something like that.
The only channel that I can watch is NBATV, but the channels with the games are in the guide, but when I tune to them I doesn't let me...

Or the free preview was supposed to show only "how many channels you can get"?

And then why all the channels are on the guide showing up?
The NHL channels dissapeared and the NBA now showed up... plus I am able to watch NBATV and I don't have that channel with my current package.
 
What package do you subscribe to? I do see where the NBA LP channels are showing and 626 is the only NHL Center Ice channel. This is when the guide is on "My Channels" and we don't have either package here.
 
Zach on the 22nd there was a change in the uplink where some of the NBA channels became free preview

But with this weekend being All Star Weekend the freeview would be kinda moot ;)

I have Latino 2.
And there's always been only 1 channel for each NHL and NBA showing on the guide, but now all the other NBA channels appeared including NBA TV (the only one I can watch), so that's why I thought it was a free preview.
 
Same problem here......NBA LP channels are on guide....but only shows to buy the PPV...no actual preview. Plus....now with all-star weekend...it was a useless uplink anyway.

Maybe if they actually uplink clearly next wed...then its another thing
 
NBA-TV & NBA League Pass .... Different Animals

NBA-TV is not the same as NBA League Pass.
.
I am receiving the FREE Preview of NBA-TV today in stunning SD MPEG2.
That's Dish Channel 560.
Unkown if NBA-TV is a Dish Turbo-HD channel.
.
Correct me if wrong, .... Ch 560 is EchoStar 110W, transponder 9
