I know there has been some talk about this, so I will post what I just learned. I just got off the phone with Direct TV, I was going to order the Sunshine Channel in order to watch the pre-season games. Since I live out of the Dolphins local viewing area, all sporting events are blacked out to me. So, those of us who don't live in South Florida CANNOT see Dolphins pre-season games on the Sunshine Network. That is what Jamie from Direct TV just told me. Bummer.
