said by Streetlight: However, normally if one goes to a premium channel and select a movie the info screen says Free with Subscription. Presumably if one doesn't subscribe to a particular premium channel, it'll cost. I have a package for all of the premiums, so I don't see a cost. Check it out next week if you don't have premium channels and see what movies/shows cost on Premium HD
I have HD Preferred, but do NOT have HBO or MAX, so I tried a couple movies & specials from each service. ALL of them came up as FREE (no mention of "with sub") & I was able to watch them with no problems. (previously they had a charge) You have to sub to that particular premium channel to watch; you CAN'T buy these shows "a la carte".
Now on the Streampix tab, there didn't seem to be a lot of FREE preview stuff there. (I don't sub to it) About the only shows I found that were FREE, were Downton Abbey & 30 Rock; however, I believe these were ALSO available under the regular TV network tab.
Others I tried like Leave it to Beaver & Saturday Night Live (outside the current season) required buying Streampix.
