Free Movie Satellite
Free movie satellite channels are often a part of satellite tv program packages. In many cases, they are offered as an incentive for joining. For a certain amount of time, the movie channels will be given at no charge. Once this period is over, you will have to pay for the channels. So essentially, it is an introductory offer.
Free movie satellite channels generally include HBO, Starz, Showtime, Cinemax and other premium movie channels. If you decide to keep the channels after the introductory special period, you can, simply by purchasing the programming package that includes all of the movie channels.
Accepting free movie satellite can be a great way for individuals to test and see if they like the movies that are shown. If they are happy with the channels then they can keep them and pay for them. If not, then one can simply drop them and purchase a cheaper package.
Right now, DirecTV is offering a special for $29.99 per month plus $9.99 if you want HD access. 95 HD channels are included. For three months, you also get HBO, Starz and Showtime. This includes seven HBO channels, 12 Starz channels and 9 Showtime channels. This offer is free for three months and then after that, you will be charged a fee to maintain access to it.
Watching movies is a great way to pass time. If you are a movie buff, then you will most likely want to take advantage of these free offers and will want to continue with them long after the introductory period is over. If you are interested in pricing after the three months, following is a quick break down. HBO will cost you about $14, Showtime $12, Stars $12, Cinemax $12 and the Sports channels will cost you $12. These are all monthly charges. If you order all of the channels, you may qualify for a discount. You don’t have to purchase all of the channels; you can only purchase the ones that you like. This means that if you want the basic $29.99 package, you can add the HBO channels for only $12 and drop the rest. If you wanted all of the movie channels it would cost you around $92 per month.
If you prefer Dish Network, you will find that $HBO is $14.99, Cinemax is $12.99, Showtime $12.99, Starz $12.99 and Playboy $14.99. You can qualify for discounts if you purchase more then one package. If you all five channels, it will only cost you $50, which is very significant price break. Right now, the company doesn’t appear to be offering any free movie satellite channels, but checking back periodically for specials, might be a good idea.
