May Free Preview channels are gone

[walterr]

Sunday, April 30 about 8 AM Ohio-time the Free Preview channels for May showed up on my Hopper. I programmed some shows for the coming week that I wanted to check out. Monday, May 1 I double-checked which channels were on Free Preview on the Dish Network website to see if I'd overlooked any I'd be interested in. The May Free Previews included RFD-TV, Cowgirl Channel and a few others than I can't remember now. Today I noticed that all my scheduled recordings of Free Preview channels were gone from the Hopper Schedule. I double-checked that "All Subscribed" was my Guide choice but none of the Free Preview channels are there now. I've just checked the Dish website and they no longer show any Free Previews page for May. Their home page banner just has 2 entries "May On Dish" and "May DISH scapes" now. What happened?

Update: Free Previews ARE still listed at https://my.dish.com/perks/free-preview

I am hoping it is a temporary issue. I love free previews. Everytime movie channels are available for few days I record a bunch.

I just checked and while all the channels are listed about half say "Not subscribed" instead of showing an image. Strange. I really wish they'd dump this new idea and go back to just a simple list with dates.

As of Thursday afternoon the May Free Preview channels are all showing up again for me.

What channel ? I don't see it anywhere.

My post was from early May, 2023 regarding the May Free Previews. It's now June so the May Free Previews are now gone. The issue I posted about was short-lived (a couple days) before it got resolved.
