Directv Service Changed?

[robmadden1]

I now am getting all the HBO's and Cinimax's. All the national feed of Fox, ABC, NBC, AND CBS. HBO stareted on Thursday. The national feeds started today.

Have they changed the packages and we are now getting those at no extra cost?

Are they just showing it for the primtime line up now? ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX The only ones that were showing where the east coast feeds.

Perhaps a glitch with their system. I remember the one time they showed the BROADCAST NETWORKS intentionally was back in '96 for Princess Diana's funeral. This was before the offered local channels.

There was a free preview for HBO and Cinemax this weekend on Charter Cable in West TN. Could the same thing have been going on on DirecTV?

Directv had a free preview of HBO and Cinemax this past weekend.
As for the East Coast national feeds, do you live in the NYC area? If you get NYC local channels you will also get the national feeds since they are just mirrored to the same channel.

I live in Cincinnati thats why I was asking about the national channels.

 

[OhReally?]

DirecTV offered a free preview of HBO and Cinemax from March 20 - 23. Two weeks ago, there was a free preview weekend of Showtime.

These previews were planned and announced in their newsletter.

Sounds like a glitch in the system. If you get Cincinnati locals then you are not eligible for the East Coast national feeds.

My friend in South Carolina was getting the East Coast National feed also. When she should have not been getting them except TheCW since its not a local station in here area.
