When can I set a timer for free preview channel?

[whatchel1]

In a week HBO will be in free preview. I was wondering when will we be able to set timers for shows that will be airing that weekend? I just tried to set one and it said there ain't no way to do that with purchase ( I paraphrase).

You will not be able to set a timer till the programming show-up in the programming guide. It will show you do not subscribe to that channel and will not create the timer. As soon as the preview starts, do a download and then set the timers.
