DirectTV: FREE HBO & Cinemax Preview This Weekend (4/15-4/18)
If you’re a DirecTV subscriber, you should be able to get in on a nice treat this weekend! Reader Claudia just emailed to let me know that DirectTV is offering a FREE preview of HBO and Cinemax this weekend on channels 501-517 , starting today through April 18th! Also, several other carriers (Dish Network, some Cox Communications, Verizon FIOS, etc.) may be offering this promotion as well, so you may want to call your local provider to see if they’re participating!
(Thanks, Claudia!)
According to http://www.freepreview.tv, almost all of the major cable providers are in line with this promo. My wife says its probably to push game of thrones which premieres Sunday. Enjoy all!
This is a sweet deal! My neighbor uses DirectTV. I wonder if I let him on the deal if he’d let us bum around and watch some tv! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Collin!! Without you, I would never know when they give us these promotional channels. I don’t know why they don’t let us know. Movie weekend! Gotta go set the DVR…
Awesome! We turned to channel 501 and Avatar was on! YAY! Thank You!!
If you have Directv it should have been a message in your “mail” folder earlier this week. What I think is a bummer is that those of us who already subscribe don’t even get a break on our bill when they offer these “free preview” weekends. 🙁
That was really nice of direct tv lol
Thank you Colin for posting!
Awesome thanks!! Weekend of LOTS of studying, so this will be awesome between breaks, unless I watch more movies instead. 🙂 Thanks Collin!!
This is not just for DirecTV. Dish Network is offering it as well. Kids are watching Avatar right now! Yay, just in time for the start of Spring Break!
awesome, free movie weekend!
Hopefully HBO will have the Miniseries “Mildred Pierce” on…..I watched it….it was soooo good! Warning…some nudity…..for those with little ones.
Just dvr’d a whole bunch of movies! Thanks for posting this! 🙂
So sad, I had made a list of a bunch of different films I wanted to see. We came home from shopping this evening and our TV is dead! 🙁 Why it couldn’t wait until Monday to kick the bucket!
I am glad I saw this post. Going to check out the channels now.
Yep–we have DirecTV and I just checked. Those channels are on at my house!
My cable provider isn’t doing it- they just did a free Showtime/Starz 4 day event 2 weeks ago-I got caught up on the 2nd seasons of Nurse Jackie and United States of Tara. I DVRd the first 2 episodes of Starz’ new series Camelot.
