    the hd channels are 9000 something. This is getting so wierd the free preview ended on Tuesday yet they still are showing games. Whats even stranger is that I scrolled up to next week and they are still games scheduled on the guide and some are even in HD is this a good sign?

    yep, nba lp was still on dish yesterday. it was supposed to end on Tue. let's see how it is going today.

    i agree with you. it might indicate dish is aggressively pushing to get the negotiation done. it might be a good sign.

    Anyone else having a problem with the broadband feed for league pass? I went on just now to check Iversons debut and it won't load past 98 percent? Any idea why or what I could do to fix this in time for the Rockets game?

    Everytime I see this thread bumped I get the false hope that DISH got the deal done.

    I am having this same problem for the past 5 days except mine stops at 92%.

    And I actually paid $85 for the full season pass as well.

    When I checked with customer service 5 days ago, they said they knew of the problem and were working on it. Now 5 days later, NOTHING...

    This is unacceptable and a rip-off.

    Hi you should check you Lp channels if you are using Dish they turned mine off today. I am switching to direct. They can,t hook it up until the 19th. They said I could use Broadband while I am waiting. Good Luck.

    i switched to directv and they installed it on friday.

    what has made me happy was that like dish directv has a hd channel for each nba league pass channel but at least so far i have been able to get every game i have tried to watch in HD whereas on dish i would get maybe 1-2 games per night in hd.

    I am getting really mad at Broadband LP. It loads up to 98% and stops- couldn't watch the Clippers game. I tried to empty cache/history like the FAQ suggests (on both browsers). I have a Mac and use Safari and FireFox.

    Any ideas? Thanks.

    I think Dish is giving the free preview until they get their contract negotiations squared away with the NBA. At least that's what I read on another web site.

    well i guess they made a deal....

    i noticed on my dish network account that they charged me for the first installment yesterday. they charged $43 - apparently $63 minus a $20 "early bird credit" because i was set on auto-renew.

    i guess their price went up $10 to $189 and their early signup discount is now only $169 (instead of $159).

    for anybody who has dish network, who didn't have auto-renew - are you still getting any free games?


    one thing i have to admit is that i'm glad they never turned off the free preview while they were negotiating - otherwise i might have signed up for the online league pass which would have now gone wasted - i get it for free anyways with league pass.
