Paramount+ with Showtime Free Preview all weekend

That’s right, it’s time for a free preview of Paramount+ with Showtime. The premium app with the longest name in the business is holding its first official free preview, and it’s a great one. DIRECTV customers have an opportunity to check out all thirteen channels of Paramount+ with Showtime this weekend!

The free preview has already started and goes on all thirteen Paramount-owned channels. By the way, that also includes three channels of “The Movie Channel” plus Flix and Sundance TV. This is a lot of entertainment, folks.

Don’t forget that you can schedule recordings remotely with the DIRECTV App for smartphones and tablets so you don’t have to wait until you get home.

If you haven’t seen these channels since before they changed names, there’s a lot to like. There’s all the traditional Showtime content plus a great selection of stuff that was previously only available on streaming. You can even watch the Oscar-nominated Past Lives.

Here’s what you’ll see

Past Lives follows the lives of a group of friends over two decades as they make their way through life. If you were a fan of Parasite, you’ll likely enjoy this one too. With the Academy Awards coming up, it’s a great chance to check it out and find out what all the buzz is about

This weekend was chosen because it’s the premiere of the new season of Halo, the action sci-fi series Halo. It’s based, of course, on the XBOX game of the same name which has gained so many followers over its decades-long run.

In the past, any program or movie you recorded during a free preview was still viewable after the preview period ended, so this is a perfect opportunity to fill up the DVR with the things you’ll be watching for the next few months. It’s a great alternative to renting movies.

Of course, the folks at DIRECTV would also like it if you’d consider subscribing to the Paramount+ with Showtime package. If it really seems like something you enjoy, why not? You get all these channels of live entertainment, access to DIRECTV’s massive on-demand library, and you even get the ability to watch the Paramount+ app for no additional charge! Considering DIRECTV’s really low price for this package, it seems like a no brainer! How do you sign up? It’s easy. Give the folks at Solid Signal a call at 888-233-7563 and they’ll get you set up.
