AT150 Free Preview is here!

The whole thing this time. 33 channels plus the mono audios.

I'm surprised there's no barker channel mirrored a half a dozen times promoting the preview, like a few times in the past.

Yeah, it is different. Probably plan to bombard AT50 and AT100 channels with promos.

When they turned it on it caused the other channels on my 3900 to lock up. All we could see was the "free" channels until I did a smart card pull to reset it. I wonder what they did differently this time? I haven't seen this problem before with any of the previews.

I have the AT50 and have yet to see a single promo for it. If it wasn't for this forum, I never would have known it was on.

"whole thing"? I'm amused that you would find 33 channels to represent "the whole thing" of AT150.

I finally got around to taking a look at what's on the free preview, and there really isn't much there. In what way is this supposed to be a preview of AT150? A whole bunch of the AT50 channels aren't even there (MTV, HGTV, FOOD, i.e., most of the ones I might care about). It sure isn't persuading me to add any programming.

And for youse guys who were complaining about how it's unfair that you loyal customers don't get any breaks while us "deadbeats" out here get some free programming ... frankly, it's a big yawn.

Yeah, if you had AT100CD then it would be a complete free preview. It is about the only time they have provided all of the additional channels it takes to make AT150CD out of AT100CD. I am at AT100CD now, but at some other times of the year I like AT150CD.

There is a Total Choice Plus free preview on DirecTV at the end of the month. It would be interesting to know what Select Choice customers will receive then.

There is still some free amusement. :D
