I received an email from a friend and in the email is said:

"All films will stream free of charge on HBO: Documentaries: The Alzheimer's Project: Homepage and will be offered for free on multiple platforms by participating television service providers."

The latter part of the sentence seems to indicate that some providers will be providing this program for free. I tried to select it in my guide (I don't subscribe to HBO) but it proceeded to want me to add HBO to my account.

I contacted a CSR via Chat but he wasn't able to tell me if DISH would be providing this show for free to it's subscribers.

Does anybody know? I would sign up for HBO this month just to watch this in HD and then downgrade at the end of the month but would prefer just to avoid the hassle.
 
My understanding is that it is only viewable during the dates and times listed on channel 102. I think one of them is 9/10, 9-10pm. Don't remember the other dates and times at the moment.

I tuned to 102 and found the 'slide' - thanks for the info. DISH does appear to have it messed up though - the episodes are each 83 minutes long but they only show 1 hr window for the first one and 30 minutes for the second, etc....

Oh well.

Still won't let me set a timer on the DVR for it without starting the signup process for HBO.
