How much room is left on your DVR? It’s time to give it a workout because there’s a free preview of HBO, Cinemax, Starz/Encore and Showtime all happening starting Wednesday (November 23, 2022) and going all the way through Sunday. Check out all the entertainment on channels 501-560 — in all there are about 60 channels of entertainment, most in HD. This is the biggest free preview in a long time on DIRECTV so make the most of it! If you have the DIRECTV App on your phone you can schedule recordings RIGHT NOW!
Yes I mean everything
I’m talking about every HBO, every Cinemax, every Starz, every Showtime. Even EPIX is getting into the preview this time, and that almost never happens. This is the perfect time to try out that service you hardly ever get to see.
I’d especially take a look at Cinemax. Not only is it one of the most underrated services, it’s also very hard to actually stream. There’s no independent “MAX GO” app for streaming boxes, although there is one for phones and tablets. HBO Max doesn’t even have all the Cinemax content. Some devices like AppleTV do allow you to add Cinemax through a subscription to something else but it’s still never quite the same.
DIRECTV really is the best way to get all this content. You’ll get all the live channels, all the on-demand, and plenty of content that isn’t available anywhere else.
Check out the shows your friends talk about
This time of year can be tough on TV watching. Some folks really dig into holiday programming. If you’re that person, you’ll find tons to watch. If you’re not that person, it can be a little hard to find stuff to watch. With these free previews you’ll find a lot to record right off the bat. Of course we hope you’ll find that these premium channels are worth the money.
Pile up recordings on that DVR
Remember that old-school Genie DVRs can record 5 things at the same time, and if you have a Genie 2 you can record 7 things at the same time! In most cases, content that you record doesn’t ever expire. On Demand content from the premium channels does expire but it can be downloaded and watched for a short while after the preview is over.
Remember that when you get preview channels through DIRECTV, you get the streaming app FREE! If you’re wondering if you should get the streaming app or the premium channel, trust me. Get the premium channel. It will be about the same price as the streaming app — or less — and you’ll get the streaming app for free.
Of course, the folks at DIRECTV do hope that you’ll like this stuff enough to pay for it long-term, so there’s always that. Whether or not you choose to take on the very reasonable fee for the premium channels is up to you, but one way or another you are definitely in for a treat while the free preview is on, starting on Wednesday and going until Sunday.
