DirecTV: FREE HBO Preview This Weekend (1/27-1/30)

Hip2Save may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you via trusted partners and affiliate links in this post. Prices and availability are accurate as of time posted. Read our full disclosure policy here.

UPDATE: When I originally wrote up this post, I had included the fact that Dish Network was also offering up a free HBO and Cinemax Preview this weekend. I then removed this info once I read through the comments left by Dish Network subscribers who stated that they could not access this free preview. However, reader, Becky just commented that Dish Network emailed that  this preview is indeed starting today on channels 300-309 for HBO and 310-314 for Cinemax.

If you’re a DirecTV  subscriber, you should be able to get in on a nice treat this weekend! Reader, Angie, recently emailed to let me know that DirectTV is offering a FREE preview of HBO this weekend. DirecTV subscribers can access HBO on Channels 501-511.

Also, several other carriers (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, Angie!)
