It sure would be nice if DirecTV would let their customers know in advancea bout these free previews. There has been more than one occasion where I found out after the fact and missed out. Thanks for the info, Roger!

I checked those channels for DirecTV this morning and nothing was showing up as being free. If somebody sees something different, let me know.

Please let me know. Thank you.

Big Dog yes Dish IS supposed to be included.

June 25th, 2010 at 9:22 am

June 25th, 2010 at 10:20 am

June 25th, 2010 at 10:28 am
Damn, I guess I’m really not a Vz customer anymore :( (Frontier as of July 1 officially :p — I guess they use a different calendar than the rest of us)

I have dish, but no cinemax preview. Does it start at specific time or should it be on now?
June 25th, 2010 at 2:46 pm

bigdog not sure just saw the post saying ya’ll had the free weekend.
June 25th, 2010 at 2:59 pm
On the Cox system in my area, there is just an HBO free preview, no Cinemax.
June 26th, 2010 at 12:55 am
On Directv, getting Showtime & TMC but no HBO or Cinemax.
June 26th, 2010 at 12:03 pm
I’m not getting any of those, but I am getting one encore channel. (directv)
June 28th, 2010 at 8:02 am
We had a big storm roll through our area on Friday night, and we completely lost our DirecTV connection. Even if we had the free preview, it wouldn’t have mattered!
June 28th, 2010 at 9:34 am
We have Encore and it is still on right now. Probably only until tonight though. NO HBO or anything else. I am in Illinois on Directv.

At 10 a.m. this morning, the Cox system where I live already re-encrypted the HBO channels, so the free preview already ended. I thought that the cable or satellite systems were supposed to run programming on the affected free preview channel(s) until the overnight hours of the end date — at least that is what usually happened when they ran free previews of HBO when I was younger.

You’re right, tmanokc. Usually the free preview runs until at least midnight of the last day of the promo period. Someone got a little bit trigger happy with the off switch!
