What happened to the NBA-TV free preview?

According to the NBA.com website, "And be sure to check out the FREE PREVIEW of NBA TV from April 21 - May 5 so you can catch everything NBA TV has to offer including Behind-the-scenes Playoff Coverage and exclusive games along with the latest NBA news and highlights. Call your local service provider to see if they are participating."

Well, it looked as if DirectTV was participating for about a week, but all of a sudden, no NBA-TV. Did DirectTV only offer it for a week, and if so, why? Or is this a problem that only I had?

Free Previews are typically a weekend or a week-long. Rarely are they longer.

DirecTV likely only participated for that week?

The channel isn't open on E* either.

NBA-TV was on the HD Events channel last night. I think the EPG said it was open to AT180 and higher, and with an HD receiver.

Edit: Oops! I meant to say it was on E*.

Are we talking where its located on Dish or DirecTV (in the DirecTV forum)?

I know D* offered it as a free preview from 4/21 to 4/27 only.
