Thanks LMckin,
I was going to post this yesterday and got busy and forgot.
It will need to be re-posted closer to the dates I'm sure.

Sports pack will be getting a free preivew as well, at the end of March.
Great for baseball fans to checkout the final weekend of spring training

March 28-30 Sports Pack

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Hopefully they have Outdoor Channel 2 HD up for customers in time for the Sports Pack free preview.

Dont forget Showtime Free Preview this weekend.

 

[jcrandall]

I was sad to see the free preview does NOT include the VOD channel for showtime.

You don't need the Sports pack to Get the Outdoor channel anymore. Its in Choice Extra or above!

TMC Channels are also "free" with Showtime preview.

Game Lounge is reportely having a free preview this weekend, Friday through Monday morning.

Also remember the HBO / Cinemax Preview this weekend.

I've been checking out the HBO free preview. The PQ is really good on the HD channels, with almost no pixelation. I have to stand right in front of the screen to see any. The John Adams miniseries is really amazing, also. It's the best thing they've done since From the Earth to the Moon, which was done by many of the same people.

 

[jcrandall]

Our last free preview of March is the sports pack, from March 28-30.

Two nice things people may want to watch during this preview:

Spring Training baseball - several games available in the 600s - on the RSNs.

College Hockey Playoffs - several games Friday - Sunday on channel 609 ESPNU.
(go blue)

 

[jcrandall]

After that weekend, as a reminder, MLB Extra Innings is Free Preview from March 31 - April 5.

All games will be in the 700s, and a schedule should be out very soon:

DIRECTV - MLB EXTRA INNINGS Schedule

Thanks for MLB Schedule

Been waiting for the schedule. Looks undone no times and no Hd games.

If you suscribe to MLB do you get to see out of area broadcasts of local teams? The reason I ask is FSNW-HD does not show broadcasts for Mariners games in the guide yet. I hope they remedy that, but if they don't I don't want to be stuck watching SD.

That said, being a former Dish sub, I am constantly amazed by the shear volume of sports available through the Sports Pack. DTV really shines when it comes to sports!

 

[jcrandall]

Free preview starting March 31st until April 6th for BOTH Extra Innings AND SuperFan.

Channel range has moved this year to 720 through 749.

720 is the Game Mix channel
721 is the StrikeZone channel

Game channels will be 722-749

Only if FSNNW is not televising.

Not true. All local teams are blacked out on out of market RSN's. You can only watch your local team play on your local network or on a national broadcast (i.e. ESPN Sunday Night baseball).

If FSNNW are not broadcasting and the Mariners lift the blackout, they will be shown on EI.

Last year I had no problem watching Cardinal games on EI when FSNMW/KSDK was not televising and there was no national.
