As of today the Cinemax for a Penny deal is no more on Dish Network. If you were lucky to get in on the deal congrats, but if you didn't get in then sorry as Dish is no longer offering the special anymore.

i believe it expires and you have to renew it each year...which means it is going away for everyone eventually
I'll turn AutoPay off and paperless billing off, and configure my bank account to mail them a check instead. No skin off my back, now they get to deal with the check again. I was more than glad to have a service I enjoyed while having the trade off of not having the comfort of getting a bill in the mail and being able to pay it myself, pull that and so do I. Can't have your cake and eat it too. Now I'm back in control of what you get paid and when.
The big question is will there be a notice on our bill in advance that they will begin to charge the regular monthly rate?
I am in my second year of the penny deal but would not subscribe otherwise.
I cancelled my Cinemax a few months ago to save money in hopes of making it to the six month window when I could get the deal.
Oh well.
I get ebills from BofA and pay them with online bill pay before the due date. I hate paper bills and love that I get the bill the day it is issued. Also I setup a separate email address for bills so it's easier to track.
I will turn off auto pay and cancel cinemax when the promo is over.
From my understanding it wasn't Dish who ended this promo. I dont know much more then that though.
Scott, thanks for the update. Anyone know of a way I can tell when it ends for me? I can't remember when I signed up for it...
That I don't know at the moment, as I said this does not appear to be a move by Dish as they are scrambling for answers on what to do, they did not expect this promo to end themselves.
Just for now, keep paying a penny until its not a penny anymore.

So it was Time Warner?
If I had to guess the answer to that would be yes.
I know Dish has lots of ads going out that advertise Cinemax for a penny. They had no idea it was ending.
My guess. For those that don't get it, Cinemax is owned by HBO, which is owned by Time Warner.
Maybe a sign of a new deal with Turner for TCM HD, HLN HD, and TruTV HD?
Anyway, I presume it will end when it expires for each sub? No second year for those of us that just had it one year?
