    I just now checked NBATV schedule, the Rox v Dallas game is not on it. Does anybody know whether it is going to show it or not? Is it nationally televised otherwise? Thanks.

    I had the same problem when I tried to set my VCR this morning. I'm not sure what is going on.

    rockets.com says it's gonna be on NBATV, but NBATV doesnt have it scheduled. ESPN, TNT or ABC are not showing it as well. I think this one wont be televised outside Texas. Blame Cuban...

    You can watch it on NBA TV. If you have NBA League Pass via digital cable from your cable company, you cannot watch it tonight. I have the same problem. My NBA TV channel has been replaced by NBA League Pass Preview for two weeks.

    Do you know why the game isn't being listed on the league pass schedule?

    Also,

    Check FoxSW, they might have it instead of league pass.

    However, my guess is that it is on league pass too, there are no games that are not included on league pass except those on TNT or ESPN.

    I called Time Warner last night because I anticipated the same problem. NBA.com has the schedule of games they are showing on NBATV. Here is San Antonio, they have been showing that Preview crap for about 3 weeks. I have called every week to complain about it, but they just say they are "working on it".

    F*cking liars. They know damn well they aren't doing anything. Apparrently it is a signal they are getting from the NBA.com channel satellite. The cable company has no control over it.

    I doubt the game will be on tonight! That is why I bought League Pass, to watch all Rocket games!! What a joke.
    The only good game on tonight is Kings vs. Nets.

    Here is the link that describes the NBATV.com game schedule.

    http://www.nba.com/video/nbacom_tv.html

    It doesn't look good for tonight if you have that stupid preview channel instead of NBATV.com

    Here is the TV schedule.

    It says it is on NBA TV and Sportsnet west.

    What is sportnet west? Is this FoxSports SW?

    There are plenty more Rox games to watch. I dont think Time Warner has anything to do with this. It seems that League Pass isnt showing it. I suspect it is Cuban not want have this game on national TV at his cost. Certain games does get blocked out because NBA TV didnt have agreement with the team owner on such games. Let's all hope Rox will win tonight.

    Ok,

    I found it here in Austin...on channel 430, I used this link to find it.

    I called Time Warner and she said it was showing "The best damned sports show" However, on the link at 430 it shows the Rocks and Mavs....

    I guess we will have to wait and see.

    Does any digital cable provider carry NBA TV now? Or is it only on Dish/DirectTV?

    I'm talking about NBA TV, not NBA League Pass. NBA TV is not part of the League Pass package.

    The game will NOT be on NBA League pass, though it was originally scheduled for it.

    The NBA has screwed us over once again. The game is scheduled for a channel that no longer exists!

    Oh well, it is probably for the best. I don't want to watch a 35 point blowout loss anyway.
