Showtime Free Preview
This free preview weekend is a Showtime thing. It's available on many cable systems as well. It sort of goes even further..
Order though the Showtime website or phone number they are showing on screen between movies, and you get it for $7.00 for three months (sorry you creepy marketing people.. $6.95 means $7.00 to me) and I would also think when you cancel before the cost goes to the regular price, Dish will charge the $5.00 downgrade fee to you.. Hmm.. let me see..
$7.00 times three months plus the downgrade fee means you can have the Showtimes (the Movie Channels come with it) and the HD Showtime for 3 months for $26.00 total.
I need to consider this further.

Last I knew as of like 3 or 4 weeks ago or so you get showtime free for 3 months from dish - just log into your account and see if that offer is still there. I got it, they already placed the credits on my bill.
Look for the past thread on this.

I could be wrong but I think Showtime's specific offer through Dish network is 3 months free.
But if you're with another satellite/cable provider that isn't Dish network, their offer is $6.95 a month.
I've seen both commercials. The $6.95 a month you're talking about and I just saw on ESPN the 3 months free Showtime through Dish network.
I found out about it by surprise. I had set a Dish Pass to record Aeon Flux if it ever showed up on one of the channels in the AT250 pack (no premiums). I looked at my recordings last night and there it was, and in HD! 
It's not a new channel. We already get Showtime E . They need to add Encore HD and The Movie Channel HD. Direct is adding both I hear.
I just tried to add the free 3 months of Showtime online but just went in circles. I'd click on the "free" link, it'd ask me to log in, i'd log in and see my account info, i'd click on the "free" link again, it'd ask me to log in again, I'd see my info again.. ad infinitum...
