Showtime Free Preview Friday 3/31 thru Monday 4/3

No free preview for stand alone HD Pkg subs again This is the thanks we get for agreeing to upgrade to mpeg4 hardware and paying $15 extra/mo for the new HD Pkg?

Hi,
Program descriptions all say "We hope your are enjoying your free preview of Showtime..." Not! The guide is so frustrating that I doubt we will watch anything. I hate to be negative, and I want to love dish. But, they come so close to greatness-then, blow it.

If you really want descriptions, just select all channels and move up to the regular channels.

When watching the movies in the preview there may be no "buy this" interruptions in the movies. Don't know. At least there were none in the HBO/Cinemax preview

I have put the corresponding channels with their original location so that you can find the EPG info easier......

Showtime Free Preview Friday 3/31 thru Monday 4/3

Special channel locations for free preview located on channels 285-295.

tempory location --- permanent location

TEMP CHAN PERM LOC

285 SHO-E 318
286 SHO-W 319
287 SHOTO 320
288 SHOCS 321
289 SHOEX 322

291 TMC-E 327

293 SUND 332
294 FLIX 333

295 SHOHD(HD receivers only)

I am curious if they have the ability to replace the numbers with letters in the EPG. For example they could put PRV1, PRV2, PRV3, etc and put those next to the SHOWTIME channels in the EPG or something couldn't they? Or they could put P318, P319, P320 the P standing for Preview.

Would require all receivers to have an upgrade.
