This is why I love your site. You’re the man! Only bad thing is now I’ve gotta figure out how to hook up a 2nd DVR…
Matthew is right, you are the man. I have 2 DVR’s hooked up, now I have to get a 3rd haha. I can’t believe they sell the DVR’s at Costco now.
Thanks again, love this site too..
Thank you Rudy & Freepreview.tv. I love this site. I guess I need to buy more blank dvds.
I get the emails from DTV on their previews but never can find a concise listing of channels. This site is great for that!

Thanks so much! I now have until the 18th to clear stuff off the TiVo!! My DH hates these weekends because I load up!!
I have linked to you site for this great deal, your site is very informative. Thanks
Anybody know if this will include a free preview of the FOX Movie Channel?
I just wanted to let everyone know that a reader emailed me to let me know that he contacted DirecTV to verify this free preview and the customer service agent he got said that there were no plans to offer this free preview. (Thanks Robert!).
I find this interesting since I was emailed this information by a reader who saw this in the DirecTV June 2009 email newsletter.
I guess we will have to wait and see about this one!
[…] DirectTV, but I haven’t gotten confirmation from the company. According to FreePreview.TV, a good source of what’s coming up for free. The site also says DirecTV users will get […]
can you confirm if this is really happening? I got an email alert from Directv a couple of weeks ago with this free preview mentioned. however, when I called them to confirm they said they had to record of this free preview. I’ll be away and need to set my dvr! thanks for any help
Patti, see comment #10. That’s all I know at this point. Unfortunately, we may just have to wait and see.
Here’s a link to the DirecTV June 2009 email newsletter it doesn’t seem to mention dates though.
http://customerinfo.directv.com/directv/?ULVwooFMGxnDdC03E-y.jwbkR4DEpvV5U
it actually says:
Preview PREMIER™ package FREE
Experience our best entertainment package. FREE 6/18-6/21.*
look at post 14 link
and under the big “Weed” box its says the above info…. so there is the confirmation all
No offense, but what would be the reason behind calling DTV to confirm this is going to happen or not? It doesn’t cost you anything, so if it happens, it happens. If not, who are you going to yell at: DirecTV? For what? Because “freepreview.tv” said it was going to happen?
Patience is a virtue. Just wait and see if it happens.
My original query to DirecTV was to ask them if the FOX Movie channel was going to be included in this free preview. They came back and said they had no knowledge of the preview, and never really answered my question. But since the preview was announced in their June email newsletter, then I am sure that the preview will indeed take place. The right hand is just not talking to the left in the DirecTV CSR call center.
What time does this actually take place? It’s midnight EST and still no preview…
What time on june 18th will this free preview start? 12 midnight, or some other time in the day or night? Does anyone know when?
NE Ohio here….once again, all channels on the package EXCEPT for Fox News showed up for free preview. Even the regular (NON HLN) CNN showed up. Guess you have to pay big to get anything other than one version of events.
Now it’s just all the pay movie channels and VERY selected other channels such as Oxygen and Bio….not the majority of channels that comprise the package.
This free preview of premier package that includes HBO, Cinemax, Starz, Encore, Showtime, TMC, FLIX, & Sports Pack on DirecTV will be on
December 14-21, 2011 of this year
