thanks max but here's another dilema: I tried to watch a preseason game last night (dont remember who) and it said the game was blacked out...do you think the same will happen tonight or what? Im assuming you have direct tv too, so just wanted to know if you think i will actually be able to watch it or it will be blacked out...ive had it set for dvr for the last 7 days or so.

Anyways i just dont wanna get my hopes up if i cant really watch it.

I'm sure it will be on----every pre-season game for the past few seasons have been on the C's channel without being blacked out...so, I guess we'll see.

I hope its on for its listed in the guide i believe on channel 630 at 5 :30 p.m.,since you have the sports pack you MIGHT get it. I only have nba league pass and every year for the last 14 years i was able to watch every pre-season game and regular season game on directv, but for this season i'm not sure since directv has new owners .the game is NOT listed in their guide in the 700s where the league pass games are shown. you might want to check out the directv threads at DBSTALK.com for more information.

I just got unoffical word at dbstalk.com that directv is blacking out the nba preseason games this year on league pass and sports pack!,i am so angry right now!!!i live in southern california and the only way to watch the celtics is through nba league pass,I"ll still be able to watch the regular season but not the preseason games unless directv changes their mind!

you know i was just reading that thread where "celticspride" (you im assuming) said that. Yea it is VERY disapointing, i was really looking forward to it, but hopefully someone can upload the game or give a link, paying no attention to the top post on the board...thanks for the effort though brother. :/

MaxwellSmart · Post #18 » by **MaxwellSmart** » Thu Oct 8, 2009 1:18 am

and they've ALWAYS shown every pre-season game in the past on Directv....I spent 1/2 an hour screaming at 2 different Directv people abut this--!!!....sure, they logged my complaint----told them I guess I have to switch to Dish Network.
