Put down what you’re doing and pick up the free DIRECTV app on your phone. It’s time for a Showtime Free Preview. You can watch all the content on DIRECTV channels 545-556, plus all the on demand content, all week! The preview starts March 23, and it goes all the way to March 27
Lots of reasons to watch
Showtime is giving you the free preview so you can watch the season premiere of Yellowjackets. This show has gotten a lot of buzz in the past but you might not have thought about it for a while. You can also catch Everything Everywhere All At Once which is available exclusively on Showtime.
It’s a great time to have a big DVR
There are 11 channels of Showtime content and you’ll want to pick through all of them and record what you can. Recording off a live channel is better than recording on demand programs because on demand programs expire. You can literally keep your recordings as long as you keep your DVR. Set up recordings for movies and shows you see listed on one of the live channels, and use On Demand to catch up from the beginning and binge the programs you want to get into.
Try before you buy
If you like what you see, I’m sure the fine folks at Showtime would love it if you added the package to your DIRECTV Satellite account. It can be added separately, or you can upgrade to a package like Premier which has pretty much all the premium channels. That’s the best value for someone who really enjoys watching TV.
What you miss when you cut the cord
Yes, it’s true. You can get Showtime a lot of different ways. It’s available as an add-on to several streaming apps and it’s being folded into the Paramount+ app. But, I think there’s something to be said for having live channels as well. Generally you’ll find that the price to have live channels isn’t any different than the price to add on just the streaming part. With live channels you can use the Showtime Anytime app to get streaming as well for no additional cost. It’s a win-win!
I know that cord-cutting is a big part of our vocabularies today. Still, I think DIRECTV Satellite is a great value for people who watch a lot of TV. With a satellite TV subscription you get one sign-in for every streaming app, and you get access to pretty much every “basic cable” app there is. If you watch premium channels, you’ll get the live channel and the streaming channel for the same price you would have paid for the live channel.
It just makes more sense, even if you don’t watch a lot of live TV, because just having a live TV subscription gives you access to so many streaming apps.
