is anyone else getting spanish text writing along the bottom of the hbo and cinamax channels tonight?.. it will continue when you change the channel back to regular programming for up to 15 minutes. aside from that, thank you for this site, g.
to the best of my knowledge not made aware of this by directv? not even on the website? just came across it while surfing channels. will monitor this wesite from now on! thank you!
Does anyone know what time on thursday this started and what time on Sunday it will end???
Pat I’m not sure what time it started. They seem to turn it on and off whenever the decide to “throw the switch”. They usually will have it on at least until midnight Sunday night and if you’re lucky they may not do it until Monday morning.
Even though HBO and MAX was free this weekend, there was nothing to watch but same ole movies like Mrs. Doubtfire and Ferris Buller’s Day Off. DirecTV is great service but HBO is pittiful!!!
