I only get the basic subscription, and I am also getting both the STARZ HD channels. Have been for a couple months now. I think most subs, if not all, are also getting them. Nobody seems to really know why. If it is a free preview it's an unofficial, unadvertised one. I assume that they'll disappear sooner or later -- but I've been saying that for a couple months. Enjoy them while they last!smeagal said:just got installed today with basic package, noticed that I have starz hd channels, does everybody get those? or is it like a free preview? or can I expect it to dissapear in the near futue?

No, this isn't that current deal with the VaVa they got going. Just the two Starz HD channels were there for a while ( more than two months I think ). Only other time I got channels for free was a Free Showtime Weekend Preview when they were promoting the premiere of Fat Actress. Not sure what this was with Starz (just the HD channels), but it's over.kjaslow said:It's a 2-month for free situation. Get you hooked and take it away. You probably are also getting a few others for free that will disappear without warning unless you decide to pay for them...
We were getting STARZ-HD and STARZ-HD West well before any official STARZ preview, and continued to well after. Still don't know why. But they're gone now so I guess it doesn't really matter. It was fun while it lasted -- which was quite a while (months!).ericl said:I think a couple of the starz channels hung around for a few weeks after the preview. I have voom only as well
