The preview of Starz really SUCKED. Very old mediocre films with a few recent mediocre films thrown in. I was very dissapointed. If they were trying to attract subscribers, they actually may have lost a few……

I agree about the terrible selection of movies. usually these guys go all out on a free preview weekend but the lineups were lame. I dvr’ed about 10 hrs worth but was out of 1000’s of hours over the 10 plus channels. does anyone remember the last time directv had a hbo/skinmax freeview? its usually once or twice a year but the last I remember was 52 weeks ago or so.

You would think the channel programmers would put more recent movies on the free preview. I will not order STARZ based on the movies shown this weekend. I can see every movie shown this weekend on AMC, TBS, or USA.

I must have checked here 5 times last week for a movie channel preview. Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for the heads-up. Wouldn’t have known cos there’s no banner and no messages. Big secret I guess. Hope it stays longer like the last one did.
