Dish Network has 3 coming in October. See Charlie Chat Summary - September 11th, 2006 (http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=63911&highlight=charlie+chat+preview).

Regularly? Just keep an eye out on the boards. Sometimes there's a little flyer stuffed in with your bill, or a short announcement on the bill itself.

They're currently having a Starz free preview.

Earlier this afternoon, I was over my sisters house (she has Cox) & I saw a commercial about a Showtime free preview next month, but I don't know if DirecTV will be having it as well.

what bout DTV?DTV is the accepted acronym for Digital TV.

The DBS boards have pretty much adopted the following abbreviations.
Newcomers should learn and use these so as not to confuse.

D* = DirecTV
E* = EchoStar (DishNetwork)

While we're at it,

HD = High Definition, not hard drive
HDD = Hard Disk Drive

Oh great, the family package which I do not belong to, locals only, is going to be pissing me off again by blackouting me once, twice, three times.

You're getting what you are paying for, you're just not getting what you are not paying for. Perhaps if you showed E* that you were interested in spending more than $12 per month (or so) they would show you what real money can buy.
