DirecTV Sports Pack

Does anyone subscribe to the DirecTV sports pack premium service? I called DirecTV last week to get more information about this service and they gave me conflicting answers. The first guy told me that I would get all the RSNs, but the live games would be blacked out unless the game has been sold out at the stadium for at least 72 hours. They then offered me a deal for only $2/month for 6 months so I took it. No sooner do I flip on the TV that I notice none of the RSNs are available. So I called back and got a different rep. He told me that you can't get out-of-market RSNs at all. But when you go online to subscribe it makes it sound like all RSNs are available. Can someone who subscribes to this service clear this up for me.
Thanks.

If you get the Sports Pack, you should be able to get the out-of-market RSNs, but one of the things against that is you can't get any of the pro packages (NBA, NHL, and MLB)--those you have to pay more for and they come seperately. I remember about a month or so ago, they had a free preview weekend offering those channels. I've thinking about adding the Sports Pack, only for NBA TV, I really don't necessarily want the out-of-market RSNs (especially at this time of year), because almost all of them are Fox Sports Net channels, and outside of localized programming, the other programming is pretty much the same across the board. My suggestion to you is call them back (which I know could be a pain) and asked them about the specifics of the Sports Pack, and if you can't get a satisfactory answer, ask to speak to someone higher up.
