Starz! is free on DirecTV this weekend, March 19-22. You can record stuff on 14 channels, 518 through 553, until 6 am on Monday, March 23. The first 5 channels in this group are available in hi-def (unless you're using an HD-TiVo).
I discovered this information quite by accident, and verified it by calling D*, but I couldn't find it anywhere on this forum, or even at DirecTV's site.
This is a separate thread because I wanted it to be seen, but I'll post it in the Hot Off The Press thread as well.
I found these HD movies (most of them recent) to record over the weekend:
• 21
• Dan in Real Life
• Enchanted
• Grand, The
• Human Nature
• I Know Who Killed Me
• Made Of Honor
• National Treasure: Book Of Secrets
• Other Boleyn Girl, The
• Perfect Strangers
• Smart People
• Spider-Man 3
• Untraceable
• We Own the Night

I haven't seen No Country for Old Men so the DVR is set! It's on at some oddball time if I remember correctly -- Sunday morning?

Is this preview in conjunction with similar promotions for the cable companies? I'm on TWC. Sure would love to filch a few flicks from Starz!

I hope you get it, I just checked my guide and if the preview ends at 6:00 am, it might cut off on you, I hope not. it starts 3/23 @ 4:45 am and runs until 6:50 am Eastern on 522 Starz Edge.

im not positive but i think if a movie starts before 6:00am & runs over they will let it finish before it cuts off.
