Cowboys & Aliens comes on tonight.  YES!!!



Just kidding, never heard of it.

DirecTV must have heard me.  They just sent me an e-mail saying that I get free HBO this weekend. 

It remains to be seen if there is going to be anything on there fit to watch.

A new season of Boardwalk Empire starts this weekend.  They're probably trying to get you hooked.

Yeah, that was mentioned in the e-mail.

Glad you mentioned it.  I don't get emails, just DTV messages, which I usually don't check.  We get HBO and Cinemax free this weekend.

I guess I'm not as special to them as I thought.

Just a little tip about movie channels on DirecTV; record all free movies you want to see during "free weekends". If you're like me, you'll never run out of movies until the next "free weekend". That way you'll never need to pay for those channels. (Yes, I'm a cheap bastid)

I thought about that.  I scanned the guide for tonight but didn't see anything I wanted.

I already do that too.  The pay channels show the same movies for at least a month, often longer.  I have plenty of movies on DVR to watch.

Argo is on Saturday night.  I've seen it but the wife hasn't.

Other than that, you're right, it is the same movies I already recorded from the last free weekend, or maybe Encore which is part of my package.  (I'll pay $6 for Encore but not $16 for the others).

I have Encore, as well.

I did see Argo on the list, but I rented that on PPV several months ago.

I did see Argo on the list, but I rented that on PPV several months ago.

But this time it's FREE!  (I saw it on Redbox).

I also have the SportsPak channels this month.  Lots of exciting games on there tomorrow: Eastern Michigan v. Penn State, South Carolina State v. Clemson, Miami of Ohio v. Kentucky, Buffalo v. Baylor, Alcorn State v. Mississippi State, New Mexico v. UTEP, Syracuse v. Northwestern, Stephen Austin v. Texas Tech, Austin Peay v. Vandy, Arkansas State v. Auburn.

We'll see if they black out the Auburn game tomorrow -- it might be worth it if I can get the Bama games without PPV.

I made the mistake of ordering the ESPN Gameplan a few of years ago, when I was in SC and wanted to make sure I could get all the Bama games possible. It served it's purpose that year, but DirecTV took the liberty of assuming that I wanted it every year after, as well. I had to go through the tedium of calling them and going through 3 people before I could reach someone to cancel it.

You only have to go to one person to cancel these days... after first going through three computers.

That is another thing I don't like about DirecTV.  I have the SportsPak right now too.  I turned it on to catch a basketball game.  It is really easy to add it to your account through the web site, but when you want to take it off you have to call them.  Last year I called and had it turned off, but this year I haven't bothered so I still pay for it every month even though I've only watched 1 basketball game on it.  That adds up to probably $100 for that 1 game. 

The Bama games will be blocked if they are on PPV.
