    Sorry guys... Still not clear.... So we won't get access to the the pre-season games with LP, but once the regular season starts we will have them?

    Bought it from Direct TV the other day and the tech told me I would get every game including pre-season.

    I got League Pass. Waiting for the Xbox app to launch for League Pass so I can watch Rockets games on my TV. I've had league pass for 6 years or so now. No real complaints, League pass BB has gotten better.

    From what I was told by DirecTV and NBA, LP does NOT cover pre-season or playoffs. However, sometimes they would do testing on the LP channels, thus allowing subscribers to catch a pre-season game or two. In addition, some games are picked up by NBATV (this Sunday against Spurs, for examples); you can catch those live on NBATV (channel 216 on DirecTV).

    Once regular season starts you'll be able to watch all games that are not blocked out in your area. This is my 2nd year getting LP - I bought it from Comcast last year and liked it.

    I was hoping for a screenshot of LP Broadband or LP Mobile, showing the games and the archives. I've called DirecTV twice and filed 1 ticket with NBA and all the response I received said pre-season is not included with LP (except for those games picked up by NBATV, which you can watch live on NBATV or later via archive).

    I'm in the US. Don't worry about the screenshot - I was gonna use it as evidence so I can go "yell" at DirecTV, but after looking thru some forum discussions, it looks while pre-season isn't officially included, they do air some pre-season games as tests.

    I found a Timberwolves vs. Pacers game on TV now, so fingers crossed I will get to see the Rockets game in 15 minutes. :)

    Thats legit. I'm excited about catching the game. Yeah I am in Austin as well. Too bad the game isn't in HD today. At least on TWC it isn't

    I'm from Canada and just bought an International League pass. It says ''Preseason game not televised". Anyone else?

    In LA it looks like we don't get the Rockets game. They are showing the Utah Jazz and Thunder game, as well as the Cavs and Chicago game. But for some reason they aren't showing the Rockets Hornets game.

    Bummer

    That sucks. In Austin I get rockets-hornets and cavs vs chicago but no jazz-thunder.

    Might be a regional thing

    Yeah, that sounds right. I'm pretty sure it must be a regional thing.

    I might have to if Uverse doesn't come to terms with CSN... I will use VPN to lock Rockets games since they will be blacked out living in Houston...

    I hate the NBA.com online process, I ordered through DirecTV, and it wasn't showing as on tv, so I thought online, well I go to activate it 2 nights ago to be safe, it wont, i submit a ticket, and they take forever, They need to fix it, because it's annoying to not be able to authorize it on time. And I purchased back in september for LP on DirecTV.
