Let's see AMC, IFC & WE disappear on July 14 and then on July 15 we get a free Movie Package weekend coincidence?

The free previews have to be planned months in advanced and are OK'ed by the individual providers like showtime or TMC or whomever. If AT&T lets all subscribers have a free preview without the permission of the channel, they get fined for every subscriber who is not a PAID subscriber. I bet the free previews are scheduled for the rest of the year, and this just happend to fall on this weekend.

Bewards, you are correct. The free Movie Package preview for July 15th - 18th was mentioned on page 4 of the Summer 2010 U-Guide which I received on June 12th.

Interesting that they say it's "all access" with two channels of TMCHD. However, you'll notice that TMC has TMCHD, TMC West HD, TMC Xtra HD, and TMC West HD.

Apparently, it's every SD channel EXCEPT for HBO and Cinemax, which is expected. HBO and Cinemax are NOT part of the Movie Pack.

The only channels apparently NOT part of the preview are:

1884 TMC Xtra HD

1885 TMC Xtra HD West

We'll have to check these channels later in the week.

Here's the list. Don't freak out if it's inaccurate. CHANNELS IN BOLD ARE EXCLUSIVE TO STANDARD DEFINITION AND ARE NOT AVAILABLE AS PART OF THE FREE PREVIEW IN HIGH DEFINITION.

Aren't these channels all part of the U-300 package anyway? If so, then the people with U-300 aren't really getting anything except maybe added promo commercials about subscribing to something they already subscribe to anyway.

texasguy37 · ‎05-18-2009

Yes, the Movie Package is part of the U300 and U450 Packages.

Uniblurb3 · ‎09-14-2009

Yep, and since I have U450 will be waiting to see a credit to my account since these movie channels are free to everyone else.

texasguy37 · ‎05-18-2009

LOL. Uni, it would not be much of a credit.

$20/30 days x 4 days = $2.67

You don't get credit for that. You know that, you've been around for a few free previews!

Even if you did, It would be what...2 bucks?

Uniblurb3 · ‎09-14-2009

I'll take anything I can get Texasguy.

That $2.67 would pay almost 1/4 of my gov't surcharges/service fees/taxes.

edit: BTW, wasn't that nice of me to start this thread when it does not benefit me at all.

Bedwards, yeah just trying to keep the urban legend going that you might get credit for these free movie promos and the laughing smiley says it all.

texasguy37 · ‎05-18-2009

I hear you!

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!

I just called customer service and spoke with a csr. I complained vigorously that I was paying top dollar and getting nothing free , while subs paying much less were getting freebies. Complaining nicely, I might add.

THE RESULT- I was put on hold for about three minures, when the csr returned he gave me $10 off for six months,.

That really isn't "breaking news." It's been said many times over that companies can go through "great lengths" to keep customers around. After all, they'd rather get 90% of your money (or even 60% of it) than 0% of the money.

Really, if all anyone cares about are the movie channels, it's better to get the U-200. With so many free previews, just save about 11-15 movies during each free preview and those should be enough to keep you busy until the next free preview.

Unless you need one of those channels in the U-300 which is NOT a movie channel, the U-200 should suit most people fine.

one thing that wouldn't work as you have to have the package to watch it after the free preview

(See what a lack of punctuation does? It makes messages very hard to deciper. I'd suggest you use periods, commas, and capitalization next time.)
