According to freepreview.tv,DirecTV has been running a free preview of the CBS College Sports channel since 3/11/09.
It is scheduled to end on 4/8/09.
Since this channel is included in my programming package,I don't really know if it's a free preview or not.

NBA League Pass free preview update

I received my "November Entertainment Guide" e-mail from DirecTV a little while ago.
It contained some more info about the NBA LP free preview that is currently going on.
The channels running the free preview are numbers 751-768.

I thought I would start a thread that would consist solely of free previews coming from DirecTV.
For starters,DirecTV just ran an ad during the Cavaliers @ Celtics NBA game on TNT,channel 245.
The ad was promoting a free preview of the NBA League Pass package.
The free preview begins tonight,10/28/08.
It will end next Tuesday,11/4/08.
