DIRECTV: Free HBO & Cinemax (1/11-1/13)
If you’re a DIRECTV subscriber, you should be able to get in on a nice treat this weekend! Reader, Roselyn, emailed to let me know that DirecTV is offering a FREE trial of HBO, Showtime, Starz and Cinemax this weekend (starting tomorrow, 1/11, through 1/13).
Now for me… well, I don’t get too excited about this offer as all I need is LMN! 😉
*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!
Love this Collin!! Thanks For Posting!!! Time to delete all the old movies and get ready for some new ones!!!
THis is most likley only for certian customers I just checked outs and its not free… at least not yet today.
the dates said 1/11-1/13. today is the 10th.
its all customers!!!
I work for directv..it’s EVERY single customer!!
Uverse has free Showtime this weekend!
So does verizon. Showtime is the only one offered from friday thru sunday.
Thank you Jamie! Showtime is my favorite but I’m too cheap to have it all year.
what is LMN?
Lifetime Movie Network.
LMN = Lifetime Movie Network, I assume.
Yep… love the cheesy movies! 😀
LMN? Sorry, I am a newbie.
Lifetime Movie Network!
Direct tv is TERRIBLE!! My mom went to hospice and we had to cancel her service. They charged her over $350 for ‘early cancelation’ despite the fact she was on her death bed, and tried to say someone else in the family could take over her service. I will NEVER support this company.
I work at the directv call center! Its free this weekend!! And if you call in you most likely can get b1g1 free 3 months too on all premiums!!!! We have great rates this weekend!!!!
lmn = lifetime movie network
Time Warner is giving this to me this weekend also
As usual, Comcast/Xfinity sucks.
I have had both Comcast and directtv and i can promise you that comcast is leaps and bounds above directtv, at least my comcast works, and they don’t have you a contract with a 350$ cancellation fee PER BOX in your house
Usually Comcast follows these kinds of promotions at some point… last year we had free Showtime (& HBO?) for a weekend
Looks like lots of providers will be having this free preview – https://www.freepreview.tv/hbo/reminder-free-previews-of-showtime-hbo-cinemax-and-starz-happening-for-many-providers.html. Not Charter though 🙁
How is Direct TV? I was thinking about switiching to them from Comcast.
in my experience, i would say DO NOT DO IT. I had horrible service, if it even spinkled my tv was fuzzy. I had multiple repairmen out and then they started wanting to charge for repairs. When I tried to cancel they wanted 350$ per box cancellation fee and I had 3 boxes. We waited out the 2 year contract, cancelled on the day it expired and they will not leave us alone with telemarketing regardless of how many times we tell them to take us off their lists. I personally hate them:)
We have had Direct TV for 10+ years and love it.
So far we love our DirecTV. We have had it about 3 months. I live in the Chicago (two blocks from the lake), known for our nasty weather conditions and we have yet to have a single problem. We have had light snow and multiple rain storms and not a single problem. I called them the other day because we hadn’t received our internet receiver for the TV to make the On Demand work. Apparently you are supposed to order it and if don’t within 30 days of setting up your account, it cost $25 to get it. They waived it no problem when I explained I didn’t know. And I know they didn’t have to. We are on a contract, so they could have stuck it to us and we would have just had to pay it, and not be able to cancel or anything…
I’m on the fence with Directv. Not great, not bad, but waaaaaaaay better than Dish Network.
What is LMN omg the best channel ever!
If we record a movie on dvr this weekend, is it sill available to view even after the free preview weekend is over?
yes
Yep, I still have 3 movies recorded from a preview weekend last year on dvr.
Cox is having free showtime this weekend.
Is Cinemax the same as DirecTV Cinema channels? I can never figure out which channels are included….
Verizon FIOS has FREE weekend of Showtime 1/11-1/13.
Hate directv. They are a screwy company to work with. (Although other providers aren’t a whole bunch better either.) there was some sort of software issue with our equipment and they refused to fix it. The only way we could watch our DVR without it blacking out in the middle of shows was to upgrade the equipment and pay more for a different model and extend our contract. Why in the world are we going to pay for additional service when they aren’t providing the service we’re already paying for? And we pay our bill every month when we get paid. No biggie. For the final bill they snuck in a different date and auto billed us. We don’t auto bill ANYTHING because we make sure the money is there first. They specifically go out of their way to make canceling as painful as possible. And if you aren’t on the phone holding their hand then they forget to log in the equipment when you return it and try to sneak in billing for that too. And even with inferior service and strong arm tactics, they still try to sell you every step of the way. Which is just insulting once you get to a certain point. “We’re sorry you feel like we screwed you ma’am. Would you like us to do it all over again for another two years?”
Well just for all youse that have Comcast, we have hbo or showtime free 3 months.. You just gotta call in and requested! Unlike pussy direct tv, we don’t give it for 3 days, we give it for 3 months!
