I'm sure I remember being able to set up manual timers in advance of DISH' free previews.
When I got the notice of the preview, I would add the channels to my Favorites list. While the system would not allow me to create preview timers using the program guide until the channels were actually unblocked, I could set up manual timers.
For the upcoming HBO/Cinemax preview this weekend, I find that these channels are absent from the manual timer channel list. I have always been able to set up manual timers before the preview channels were unblocked.
Now it appears I will need to wait, at which time I should be able to create regular timers using the program guide. With 35 timers to set, I wanted to set them up ahead of time, to be able to resolve conflicts.
