[MLB Extra Innings](https://www.directv.com/sports/mlb) on DirecTV includes a subscription to [MLB.TV](http://MLB.TV) Premium which should include spring training games. I am finding out that the subscription purchased through DTV does not, in fact, include spring training games per some sort of agreement.

Has anyone else encountered this? I didn’t see any sort of disclosure of this fact, and have to purchase a monthly subscription to cover spring and WBC games.

Did I miss something in the ads?

I purchased Extra Innings for DirecTV, did something at the [MLB.TV](http://MLB.TV) site to connect my account there to my DirecTV account, and now I’m watching a spring training game. Seems to work for me.
