Maybe they signed an interim contract like the others did?

Well then that is a good sign I guess. I called AGAIN to dish netwrok and spoke to a lovely csr who told me that the free preview was still on but could go black at any time.

Does that mean shannel 560 is showing the same thing as channel 402? I always get channel 402, but I think it's cause I get every channel. Is nbatv part of a higher package that not everyone gets?

That was the same thing it said yesterday. The schedule on their website still lists yesterday's games as well. I think if anything it's more them not updating it than anything else. It is encouraging that the games show up on my tv schedules through the guide though. We shall see.

It's listed on channel 569 right now. We will see if it actually airs.

ESPN, TNT, ABC, NBC whatever.....Those people have to pay for broadcast rights. They are not free. Those deals are paid for by advertising dollars. The NBA gives nothing away free, not should they. As for the NBA losing if people switch from Dish??? How do you figure? They will just buy it...

Fantabulous news. Let's hope this is the case.

They still have a couple of hours left. All I know is that I am giving them until tomorrow evening, and if they still don't have a contract I am switching to Directv. No reason whatsoever this crap should be happening

The free preview is always for the first week. The season started on the 28th, or 1 week ago. You are also welcome to call Dish Netowrk and they will tell you it's only until the 4th. Without a contract it could be extended I suppose, but I'm not sure what the motivation of the NBA would be to...

Broadband ends on the 11th TV ends on the 4th

After the 4th you won't get NBA league pass on Dish Network because they do not have a contract with the NBA. Directv and all major cable providers do however. Dish says they are looking out for you by not offering this to you. The channels are 560-572. You will be able to watch tonight, and...

Starting on the 5th you won't see any games, so it doesn't really matter. Dish has still not signed a contract for the upcoming year. You can thank them for looking out for you.

Fact 1: The NBA does not have a contract with any provider. Both Directv and the major digital cable providers are working under an interim contract that they signed to allow their customers to sign up. Will those other providers get a permanent contract.....YES. However, they technically do...

All of you need to realize that at this point dish network doesn't even have a contract to show games after the 4th when the free preview ends. In other words, who cares if it's in HD because right now it won't even be available at all unless you switch to Direct or any major cable company...

That is a great sign. I'm happy their computers show something anyway. All I have heard is that they are working hard to get it done. I did call to find out about cancelling and the guy told me that the message had changed twice so to give it a day or so because that usually means they really...

Not really promising at all. Dish Network is showing a free preview through the 4th. All of the games until that point will be on the schedule. Please join me in calling and complaining to not only Dish, but to the NBA as well

I actually called the NBA offices the other day and spoke to a gentleman named Matt. He told me that both Directv and the major digital cable providers had signed an interim contract and that is why they can offer league pass right now. He said he felt good about those companies adding league...
