This make the uneventful summer somewhat more interesting... *edit - My fault Deuce. I didn't see your post over in "NBA Dish". Please delete mods.
Are they really letting digital cable subscribers in on the fun for a change? Or is it still that stupid League Pass Preview channel crap? Sorry, I'm still really ticked off at the NBA (and to a lesser extent Time Warner) for that fiasco where they stuck it to the fan base that actually supported them with League Pass. To the point where I may sacrifice League Pass to express my anger until they return NBA TV back to us.
i have comcast digital cable and i get the league pass preview channel...but my sister and her boyfriend and direct tv upsatirs and they get nba.com tv...the best of both worlds...
If you have time warner digital cable in Houston, then you won't have NBATV (unless you ordered league pass last season). The reason being that NBATV and time warner couldn't negotiate a package similar to the dish network package in many major Texas cities (Austin, Houston...).
