Free Previews Discussion Thread - September 2022

All I could find was a block on Dish Studio (channel 349) from 12:00 AM - 3:30 AM Eastern time on 9/17. This block repeats at the same time the following day. While this does not indicate a free preview, it at least shows that Dish is aware of the show, and they are promoting it by giving away the series premiere (from 2019) for free.


$7 per month for Epix by itself:

...or $10 per month as part of Dish Movie Pack:

They had a 50% off for 6 months of the Dish Movie Pack. It didn't show on the dish app but did when I logged in on the website.
So I'm all set, thanks.

I would always start by going as far to the right in the guide as it would allow me. If the guide is outdated enough, that will trigger a pop-up asking if I want it to do a guide download.

If that step didn't work, then I would simply reboot the receiver with the red button on the front panel. After the reboot, it may or may not do a guide download.

Finally, if both of the above failed, I would do the Check Switch. Of course, if the Check Switch actually is necessary to force the guide download, the total time spent doing all of the above steps would take longer than simply starting with the Check Switch to begin with.
