I was excited about the free preview, then I saw the shows/movies they are showing and that went out the window.
The HD looks nice, but the programming sucks, and they show tons of commercials during movies.

No wonder a lot of folks dont have this extra pack.

Looking forward to the HBO preview.

Dave & John– I have to agree with Mike. My Box has the availability to receive HD; but we do not subscribe to that package. When I saw there would be a free HD preview I went to add the channels & they will not show up. So I have the availability to receive HD; but since I do not have the HD plan; the “extra” free HD preview channels will not be aviable to me.

I notified you of this free preview back on the 13th so I expected to see my name credited. Also it’s not from the 31st to the 4th but from the 6th to the 13th. If you have the Choice package then you’ll get the Choice Extra channels.

Admin….Mike is saying that he does not see the channels. Can not see the channels listed in his program guide.
“the above listed channels don’t show up.”
How can you watch a channel that your viewing guide says does not exists?

Mike! Rough day at the office?

The thing is free! And it’s called “HD Extra Pack”…so you’re right: it is obvious. (If you don’t already have HD, you benefit nothing from an HD preview.)

Are you really complaining about something free that you don’t get that you didn’t get anyway? God bless America…

Apparently this is NOT for all direct tv customers. I have been a customer for years and when I check my ALL CHANNELS section, the above listed channels don’t show up. Obviously you have to be a Direct TV HD subscriber to even be considered for this free preview. BOGUS to everyone else.
