  1. Will this include premium movie and entertainment channels? ie; HBO, Showtime, etc.

  2. I have this package already, it does not include HBO and the like.
    Direct Tv sux. Every other provider occasionally has a premium channel free for a weekend. Direct TV just gives you a couple dozen crappy channels that no one watches anyway.

  3. Also, I got free Encore channels for 3 months for being a good customer for 5 years, They didn’t tell me until over a month and a half after my free gift was started. A$$holes.

  4. They used to have a free preview of HBO, Cinemax and such at least one weekend every 2 months. I haven’t gotten one of those in I can’t even remember how long.

  5. We are due a weekend with the premium movie and entertainment channels. I am hooked up via my landlord and that account is currently the same as Kurt’s.

    A free for all weekend has come about one annually, so maybe we won’t see any extras at all for the “basic” Choice Xtra.

  6. Last year, DirecTV had a movie channel free preview every couple of months. This year the pickings have been pretty slim.

  7. When will we got a free weekend of HBO and cinemax again? I have not had a free weekend of HBO and CINEMAX since 2009?

  8. yeh what’s up it’s been so long since HBO/max preview I love directtv and have been with them 7+ years but this is the slimmest of all :(

  10. Thanks for the updated list Rob!

  11. I saw an ad this evening on advertising a free viewing showtime on wednesday and fridays only until sometime thru the first of Oct.

  12. Can someone trade a crappy channel they don’t want to watch for a better one? A trade-off of sorts.

  13. This is just aplain old bait and switch a morally illegal con just like 90% of direct tv deals. Like the NFL sunday ticket scam also. a real deal wouid have channels that more than a dozen people care about

  14. Well Kurt… There’s this thing called (mail) in your menu..the place where u can watch our recorded stuff ect..if u check it periodically u will notice HBO,showtime, stars,cinemas…do have free previews for days every month or two.. Not only that many free previews weekly if u take the time 2 check your… D.t mail.. I know I know they should probly call u and let u know when there’s free channels but.. Again there’s a reason D.t has customer mail in the menu. # be a little smsmarterless lazy.
