Cinemax Free Preview Postponed?

[karspur]

The slate on channel 280 says the Cinemax free preview has been postponed. Does anyone know why they would do that?

Lets hope its because they're adding the HD channel.

Wow! I didn't think of that. Hoping and fingers crossed here!

They haven't included the HD channel in any premium preview before, so why would they start now?

 

[yardline]

I just hope the add Cinemax HD before the Stars Wars Marathon.

I asked Eric Sahl about why the Cinemax Free Preview was postponed and got a note back that he could not comment, nor would he comment on Cinemax HD.

I should note that I recently talked to a contact at HBO and that things were looking good for Cinemax HD. (But no further detail)

I will keep my fingers crossed and hope we will see the StarWars HD Marathon on Cinemax HD in November.

I think Eric is still a bif miffed at the mass email campaign for Cinemax HD a while back! And I never wrote him back telling him where I got the info to write him either!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

It must have looked strange to him to get 50 emails in 10 minutes about the same subject.

Ahh the power of SatelliteGuys.

how did you do that?? The free preview cinemax channels are not even uplinked yet?

E*'s webpage still shows the original date for the Cinemax preview.
I guess the webmaster is slackin'.

I have been doig some tests on the Dish Network site and laughed when I found out that Dish runs its website using IIS!

Yes the webmaster is slow. Although other times if you search really hard you can find some hidden jems.

Now, you're gonna have to spill the beans.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

No beans to spill at this time.

Just in the past we have been able to find stuff by doing a little detective work, like hidden code in webpages and stuff like that.

I have received the following statement from Dish Network regarding the Cinemax Free Preview.

The Cinemax Free Preview is postponed. We regret any inconvenience and
invite Dish Network customers to enjoy the other channels currently
airing in the Preview Showroom.
