I tried recording the extended versions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy on DirecTV on Saturday night / Sunday morning, and they all came up as partials because my DVR didn’t think I had access to Encore half the time. So I guess DirecTV just had problems on Sunday.

9am Sunday… FIOS freeview Starz not working :-( It was working last night, and the announcements on FIOS said through Sunday?!

A DirecTV subscriber. Was working fine yesterday the 26th, but not getting the Starz free preview on Sunday morning the 27th. So much for the “Thanksgiving Weekend” free preview. I thought Sunday was still considered part of the weekend.

Anyone know what time these free previews start? I’m on the east coast with Verizon Fios and it has yet to start for me.
