July 25 2012 GSN and OWN-Free preview on now..just noticed.

Hmmmm, those are green on my TV Guide.

But Sony Movie Channel (channel 386) is up already.

Channel 103 says it's on free preview till August 21.

That's an odd combination.

Not only are those 2 available in free mode, I noticed that Encore Family and HUB are available too.

I thought Encore Family just got out of free preview. Also, we have the $5/month Encore Movie Pack and do not get Encore Family. I thought The Hub although SD was already in the Family package. I did read that the Family pack was going to get a new name called the Smart Package or something like that. I wonder of these could be some new channels for the package. Otherwise, you are just lucky and getting some free "perks" that everyone else may not be getting.

Check out the link. These "perks" are available to EVERYONE...Notice where the channels I mentioned ARE listed....

So, GSN, OWN, and The Hub will be part of the Heartland Package.

With DISH offering all these Free Previews it just makes sense to keep my guide in "My Channels".
