On Top Picks on Comcast On Demand right now and not seeing the “Showtime Freeview” option. What time does it start?
March 25th, 2010 at 10:15 am
It looks like everybody’s having problems with this today! Maybe that means it’s on Showtime’s end?

March 25th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
I have it free with COX here in Phoenix!
March 25th, 2010 at 8:10 pm
In California, with TWC, I’m getting it on Video On Demand only (not the actual channels).
March 25th, 2010 at 9:21 pm
Here in San Diego, CA COX has the Showtime Free Preview. Ya’ay!

Just did a chat with Comast Customer Service. Even though the Freeview On Demand ad acts like it is for Showtime in general, the free preview is for ON DEMAND only. And, contradicting the ad itself, the chat rep said the preview is through March 31 (not March 28). But, I’ll believe it when I see (or don’t see) it last longer than the 28th.
March 26th, 2010 at 12:56 pm
Not getting it on DISHNETWORK either. Not sure WHY???????
March 26th, 2010 at 1:11 pm
Cablevison in NJ is offering only SHO channel for free. Someone at CV forgot to enable the free VOD. CV Customer service did not even know about the free SHO! They are not passing through the free SHO VOD to customers. ANd this is the same Cable operator thata few weeks ago wanted subscriber support in their dispute with ABC!
Probably the CV management does not even know some bureaucrat got lazy or forgot to provide free pass through of SHO VOD.
Monopolies!

Adam, unfortunately Dish isn’t offering the free Showtime preview.
March 26th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
Hmmm, U-Verse in CT. I have Showtime channels but no On Demand so far. Looking thru the movies this weekend, pretty poor selection unless your interested in “Disaster Movie”
March 26th, 2010 at 3:52 pm
Verizon FiOS now has the Showtime channels available (in addition to VOD) through Sunday — the channels were turned on late last night sometime.
March 26th, 2010 at 5:48 pm
I called the cable company on Ohio because we were not receiving it this morning..(Fri)…they said it would be on tonight..so far..no free preview from Time warner in lorain Ohio
March 26th, 2010 at 6:32 pm
not working on TWC in NYC… very disappointed
March 26th, 2010 at 6:34 pm
I have been waiting over 1/2 hours to speak to a rep. When you go on Showtime, it says it’s $5.00 per movie. Who’s nuts?
March 26th, 2010 at 6:36 pm
It does work for Verizon
March 26th, 2010 at 9:16 pm
Comcast is not offering a free preview of it’s showtime channels, no they are only offering a free preview of “pre-selected” movies and showtime series episodes, so the strikeforce fight tonight on showtime cannot be watched for free. Go figure, leave it up to Comcast to find a way to limit something free, when my contracts up I’m going to DirectTV Comcast is the worst provider ever, so many problems with their service, and as proven with this free preview…nothing is free with comcast.
March 26th, 2010 at 9:29 pm
I just checked with Comcast and the free preview is for On Demand only, not the regular movie channels.
March 28th, 2010 at 6:06 pm
I got it on fios so thanks for the heads up
March 30th, 2010 at 12:33 am
It isn’t clear when this started or the Sunday it ends. If it started on Thursday, March 25, 2010 and end on the following Sunday (March 28, 2010), then why are the Showtime Dexter episodes and webisodes still free?
I’d love to know . . .
March 30th, 2010 at 3:50 pm
It was on DirecTV, however, there weren’t any movies on worth watching. That stunk…Oh well at least it was free.

It worked on ATT uverse but if they were trying to get us to subscribe it was a miserable failure. Absolutly nothing came on that we wanted to see.
