Tom,
Are you sure about that ?
Usually a Anniversary Gift is NOT a Sports Package, it's something that they have available all year round, such as Movie Channels.

Maybe I can ask for the NFL ST as my Anniversary gift seeing mine is in August.

Itahoe, where abouts in your Account info was this posted, so we can check ours ?

Mega March Maddness is listed as $ 69 on my account.

No I'm not sure, I'm still under my 2 year introductory contract til October. But what if you already subscribe all of the non-sports packages? I have Choice Xtra, every movie package and HD Extra; what else is there besides sports packages? Do they give freebies of The Playboy Channel?

Well, there is the HD Extra package !

Playboy as a Anniversary gift

Actually, I don't know what if anything they give to those with everything.

Maybe one of them will chime in here and let us know.

I know I've have two different things the past two years, one year it was 3 months of ShoTime then this past year I got a free PPV, that was all .......

I was fine with that seeing they don't have to give you anything, but seed like it was even LESS than the year before.

Oh well.

Actually, now that I think about it, I received an email from DTV first, when I logged into my account it was listed as a package I have access to under sports programming.

I already have HD Extra. The only ones I don't have is Playboy TV, BabyFirstTV or any sports packages. Maybe I'll get the blackout pack.

Game Lounge free for 3 months, No Joke

, Showtime free for 3 months are the 2 most giving Anniversary gifts.
5 Free PPV I've heard of some getting.

Game Lounge? That's not even a channel. And I already subscribe to Showtime.

Are the PPV's in 1080p? I've never seen anything in 1080p, it'd be fun to see what all the fuss is about.

This has probably been asked before and I should already know, but I have never tried it. When they give us Showtime free for those few days, can we download stuff from On Demand such as as Dexter and watch it after the 25th-28th if we have them downloaded to the DVR from On Demand? If this is the case and season 4 is On Demand that would be awesome.
