HBO Preview

This weekend as I am sure most of you know D* offered a free preview of HBO. What I want to know is, are any of you still getting the preview. Well, I am. No sure what to do about it. I like getting HBO, but I sure don't want to pay for it. I would be interested in hearing from anybody that is still getting the free preview.
 
Yep. Still getting here. It will probably go off today sometime as yesterday was the last day of the preview.
 
I'm a newbie, so be gentle if I screw up(and let me know what I did wrong). I dropped HBO/Showtime because it seemed like it was the same movies, over and over again. I went with an online DVD rental company(don't know if I'm allowed to use the name)to rent Blu Ray discs, in lieu of HBO/Showtime. My question involves the $25 BB gift card. I might be tempted to try Starz, but what kind of commitment do you have if you accept the $25 gift card? I'd hate to be stuck with a movie channel that I didn't like for a year just to get gift card from Best Buy.

Thanks for the info. As it turned out, I ended up getting 3 months free Starz, due to a problem with my HD receiver. They have given me so many
$programming credits, that a movie pack was the only thing left. I LOVE Directv customer service.
 
I gotta start putting these things in my calendar. I missed all the movie previews and don't have much of a use for the Sports one. I swear on the 15th I heard my HR20 say, "Moron" in Morse Code with it's hard drive clicking. ;p
 
Well, today's the 19th, they have not turned on the Sports Pack yet.
I was hoping to watch the Red Sox game, but No Joy ......

What good id previewing the Sports Pack if they don't give you the first game of the weekend.

Maybe it will kick on at 8 pm ..... maybe

Jimbo
 
Jimbo - sports pack won't include MLB games, those need extra innings.

Sports pack gets many college games, and non-pro content on the RSNs, like pregame/postgame, highlights, poker, etc.
