When you saw all of the baseball games, that was likely a MLB Extra Innings Preview, not a sportspack preview. Ditto for the NHL Centre Ice Preview.Piratefan98 said:When they have a free preview of the Sports Pack, do they do the standard blacking out of professional sporting events (i.e. MLB and NHL, based on the individual's geographic location)?
I ask, because back when I signed on to DirecTV, I think there may have been a similar Sports Pack preview going on, because I was getting all kinds of HD baseball (Red Sox on NESN, Yankees on YES, etc), as well as HD NHL hockey. That lasted several days, and then it went back to the normal deal of only being able to see HD games within my region. In a situation like this, a prospective customer could get the mistaken impression that they'll get ALL of the RSN HD programming in the Sportspack, which of course isn't the case.

This weekend, all of the baseball games will be blacked out. The preseason hockey games (there is one on MSG Saturday night) should be in the clear.
