Well I got this months 'Dish Takes' in front of me and can't believe what I'm seeing. Free preview is sept 6-8. I don't know if this is for D* and cable too or if its an E* exclusive. This is so cool! First time in the 4 years I've been a sub that there's a Max free preview, and this is only the third time for HBO.

I just got a note from my cable company they are offering Starz Superpack free for a week this month, I wonder if Dish or DirecTV are going to offer this.

I looked through the HBO/Max line up for the weekend and could only find 2 movies that are of interest. You would think that a preview weekend would be full of top notch stuff to bring in new subscribers.

I am curious to see an episode of Six Feet Under.

At least HBO Family has Rainbow Fish for the kids.
