Does this start and end at a particular hour? midnight?

It depends. Different providers will do different things. I would even check the day before – sometimes they “flip the switch” early.

As of 11pm PST, DirecTV has not yet switched the freebie. Will be going to sleep soon so I won’t be able to tell anyone if it happens at midnight though I will check in the morning for sure.

I have reports that the channels are up and working now. Enjoy the free movies this weekend!

As of 6am PST I was able to access those channels. Not sure if it switched over at midnight or later but what was interesting is that the DVR wouldn’t even let me select programs to record until they were available (this morning).
