HBO Free Preview April 7th to April 11th

On Dish Network there's an HBO free preview going on, April 7th through April 11th (next Wednesday). I'm assuming that DirecTV and some cable companies will also have this free preview.

On Dishnetwork it's channels 290 through 297. You also have Boomerang (Channel 281), Discovery Health (Channel 282), and some college sports network (Channel 283) - these three stations you have through May 2nd.

Is there a way to figure out what channel the Free preview on Comcast cable is on?

I've looked on TV Guide channel, Comcast.com, hbo.com, flipped through channels...and can't find it.

Very smart to do with, what with the Sopranos & Entourage starting this weekend.
Too bad DirecTV isn't offering anything like this.

You may want to double check... I'm getting the HBO freeview channels on my DirecTV receiver.

I have it. Would like to watch Entourage, but then I have to find other means to see the rest of the season.

I just noticed I had it last night (Comcast in the lower MI area)...AFTER the Sopranos were over...grrrrr.

Anyone know of any way to get FREE HBO through Comcast for a few months? I would like to finish Sopranos and Entourage in real time, rather than waiting for DVD....oh well.

*No Go on FREE HBO. I contacted Comcast and they said they would give it to me for $5 month, but still too much. I'm already paying $100+ for Cable/Internet/DVR.

I wish there was a site on which you could sign up for email notifications when premium channels have free preview weekends.

Damn, I was just coming back to this thread to ask if anybody knew of a service like this. I guess the answer is no.
