Hi Patricia, apologies for this late reply, the short answer is yes, the longer answer is; Take a look at the end of WiiGame’s reply above yours: “Verizon allows the customer to keep the channel-based content for the remainder of that last day.”.

So, I called, finally got someone competent and finally got resolution on “WTF is wrong with them.”

Reportedly, while Verizon controls the channel content, the On-Demand content/permissions come from the providers (in this case, Starz). “Kelly” @ Verizon reports that providers consistently cut off their On-Demand services at midnight starting the last day of the free preview, while Verizon allows the customer to keep the channel-based content for the remainder of that last day.

So, while that sucks, at least I can expect that behavior for the future and plan accordingly.

WTF is wrong with them??

Curious: What is the source of the end date given here? I’d like to cite the source and while this is a great clearinghouse, what’s the source for this preview info?

Never mind, I rebooted my set-top box and the channels are working now!
