Re: Free HBO- is this for real? Thanks for posting. I turned off pop-ups on my sets but see that HBO is now working on our sets. |

OK, to clarify when I turned off POP-UPS, I was able to watch the free HBO. I live in Massachusetts. |

I got the e-mail as well (Pittsburgh area) and confirmed that all of my HD HBO channels are on. I'm otherwise just a local channels subscriber.
said by RX300:Now try for HBO Go.
No go on HBO GO. It says that I need to subscribe to HBO. |

said by aztecnology:I got the same pop up message for free HBO on both of my boxes, so now I'm enjoying HBO until the end of May.
It just gave you the option to choose 'ok', i didn't choose on either box, I just changed the channel, then changed to one of the HBO channels and sure enough there it was...
I got my email today as well...

I got my email, but when I check HBO it still asks me to subscribe... |

| reply to Surprised
I just received yet ANOTHER phone call trying to get me to subscribe to HBO  I repeated that we were not interested and to please quit calling us about it. He said he'd remove our account # from his list and hung up before I got the chance to say anything else. |
|
| I'm also in the Pittsburgh area and received the email from them yesterday. I have all the HBO channels now. |

I received the same email last week. I wish they send out the email before they turned on the service.
I do not trust them, so I need to watch for this item on the June bill. |

I am in VHO8 as well and I got it.
Untill a couple days ago, I have been out of town since the beginning of the year. Just happened to notice an email about this late January. When I got home, sure enough, HBO is on.
I looked into the terms when I saw the email...like many others, I was thinking great, they took it upon themselves to turn on a trail on my account, for which I will have to cancel before getting billed. However, in the terms, it explicitly said it will automaticly be turned off on may 31, no action necessary, will not be billed, etc....so we'll see what happens. Looks good to me, although pretty evident it's probly got an ulterior motive as more as a trial in hopes people will keep it then it is a gift for being a good subscriber. Either way, I'm def not compaining. |

Do you also receive complimentary Showtime?
Im in VHO7 and Showtime is included free for the area due to competition. I would doubt they would give this 3 month freebee to anyone that already has a free premium included. |

FWIW, I got the email as well and while I did see the message on my Tivo I do not have HBO on 899.
The Tivo shows the "contact your provider" message when I tune to 899.
The HD HomeRun Prime does not list 899 as one of the channels that I receive. |
