Free DirecTV HBO and Cinemax Preview May 14-17, 2020
DirecTV subscribers can enjoy a Freeview of HBO and Cinemax this weekend.
Free viewing of HBO and Cinemax begins today, May 14, 2020, and runs through May 17, 2020.
All you need to do to take advantage of this free long weekend of premium channels is tune to channels 501-523 (may be different for some subscribers) and enjoy.
You should also be able to view the HBO/Cinemax preview via the DirecTV App and at directv.com if you’re using a mobile device.
DVR for Later Viewing
If you have a DVR, you can record as many free preview programs as you like to watch at a later date. Just because the free preview ends, doesn’t mean your recorded movies/shows go away. Once recorded, you have them saved until you delete them.
Wrap Up
Enjoy all HBO and Cinemax have to offer this weekend, absolutely free thanks to DirecTV’s free preview.
While this post is specific to DirecTV other pay-TV providers may be providing subscribers a free preview of premium channels, too.
So if you know someone who isn’t a DirecTV subscriber, let them know they may be getting a free preview this weekend, as well.
And don’t forget to DVR free preview programs you want to see, but just don’t have the time to sit and watch this weekend, for your future viewing pleasure.
With DirecTV’s free additional content scheduled to end this coming week, we may not see as many free premium channel previews as we have the past few months. Although, as with anything Covid-19 related, who knows.
Reduce Your DirecTV Bill
A quick aside: If you’re a DirecTV subscriber and you feel your monthly bill is a little too high, be sure to read our piece “How to Lower Your DirecTV Bill,” to get specifics on how to pay less for your DirecTV service. You just might be able to save a significant amount – like I did – on your entertainment costs.
