DirecTV Free Preview Weekend of HBO and Cinemax May 5 – 9, 2022

DirecTV is offering a free preview of HBO and Cinemax this long weekend.

The premium channels will be available beginning Thursday, May 5, 2022, and will end Monday, May 9, 2022.

All you need to do to take advantage of this free preview is tune to channels 501-523 (may be different for some subscribers) and enjoy.

DVR for Later Viewing

For a while, it was questioned whether you could still DVR free preview programming and watch it after the free preview ended.

As far as we know, DVRing free preview programming to watch at later dates is still an option.

So check the upcoming HBO and Cinemax schedule May 5-9 and add programming you want to watch to your DVR recording list.

Wrap Up

DirecTV continues to offer free previews of its premium channels, with the latest one coming this extended weekend.

We just saw an HBO/Cinemax free preview two months ago, so maybe the new DirecTV investors are being a bit more generous? Guess we’ll see if the free previews continue at a more regular pace throughout the year.

Since we have one now, check the upcoming HBO and Cinemax schedule to see if there’s any programming of interest to you over the five-day preview and plan accordingly.

Enjoy!
