Because the game didn't sell enough tickets maybe? League Pass usually carries FSN games and the ones on that other Houston channel with the blown-out distorted sound. The 20 or whatever? UHD? Damn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I'm listening to the game at http://www.nba.com/broadband/alp_sc...aaroncrippen@comcast.net&rmpassword=rochelle#
I am getting the same problem on my directv. I just called and she can't do anything about it. The LP deal doesn't include preseason games, so they are blacked out everywhere that FSHouston isn't a local channel. Major bummer.
they told me the same thing....but in that case, why are the games listed on the NBA channels, 750-755... They're not even showing the Wash/Dallas game. It's even blacked out on my FSW channel.
i called Dish Network right before the game to sign up. but they told me that they are still negotiating with NBA about it. so i can't do anything until before the season starts. but i know where the league pass channels are and went to take a look, it's free.
