Here’s something DirecTV subscribers can look forward to this Thanksgiving weekend. The satellite TV provider is offering a free preview of four different movie networks that include HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, and Starz.
The premium networks, available from Nov. 23 through Nov. 26, can be found on DirecTV Channels 501 through 557 (see a more detailed listing below).
The preview gives non-subscribers a chance to catch original shows from the networks such as “Curb Your Enthusiasm” (HBO), “The Deuce” (HBO), “Homeland” (Showtime), “Billions” (Showtime), “Black Sails” (Starz), “Outlander” (Starz), “Outcast” (Cinemax) and “Banshee” (Cinemax).
Movies playing on the premium networks include titles such as “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” (HBO), “Dumb & Dumber” (HBO), “The Fast and the Furious” (HBO), “Bad Moms” (Showtime), “Hell or High Water” (Showtime), “Star Wars” (Starz), “Passengers” (Starz), “Deadpool” (Cinemax), and “Do The Right Thing” (Cinemax).
We’re not sure yet if DirecTV’s parent company, AT&T, will also be offering the free previews. They may not, considering they just ended a free preview of HBO and Cinemax up until Nov. 20.
