Looks like I'll have to get ready to set some timers. I'm surprised to see such a long freeview for Epix. Usually the freeviews are just for a weekend on premium channels unless Dish doesn't consider Epix a premium anymore.

I'm happy about the fact that Dish is giving us all these movie channel free previews.
But I wonder why we never get Showtime on free preview anymore.
It's been years since I remember a Showtime free preview. We've gotten HBO, Cinemax, Epix, and Starz. Heck, I remember we even got IFC SD on free preview back in January or February before the channel was taken down with AMC.

And, for the next two weeks, (after 5 PM Eastern today), Glenn Beck's Blaze TV.

Probably Showtime is not the happiest with Dish for having the Epix channels if I had to guess. I find that Showtime is pretty lackluster honestly. Don't get me wrong; Showtime may play a good movie here or there. "Big" movies I noticed on it lately are The Help, Scream 4, and The King's Speech. I think what is keeping the channel alive is some of its original or exclusive programming. You can also get The Movie Channel west feed and The Movie Channel Xtra west feed in Dish Latino Max ($57.99/month) or America's Top 250 ($69.99/month) if you want a snippet of Showtime's movies. Otherwise, you can always ask if there is a free offer for Showtime. You may get if for 3 months free and even more especially if you have not had any free offers in a whole and especially if you are a long-time customer.
Cinemax is on free preview from 10/19-10/22.

Sometimes they are on a day early so be sure to check it out later today.
I can't wait to see "Hunted" with the exquisite Melissa George.

It looks like we're going to get a free preview from Epix from January 1 to January 6.
And a free preview from Showtime from January 11 to January 13. I think that's the first time we've had a free Showtime preview in like 5 years.
I noticed these 2 things in the TV Guide:
