This will be available on FiOS, as well. Looking forward to DVR'ing a few movies, at least.

The only reason they are doing this is to plug Game of Thrones. I don't think the free preview allows you to watch HBO On Demand, so you won't be able to catch up on GOT if you haven't already seen it.
Banshee and Strike Back are already over on Cinemax. Transporter still has no airdate yet.

Also, this entire week, Comcast Xfinity has free on-demand for all shows, premium channels included.

If you download the entire season of Banshee this weekend from On Demand will you still have access to all those shows after next Monday if you don't subscribe to Cinemax?

Burned through four episodes of Banshee last night and am on track to finish the season before the freebie expires! 
And I also realized that Strike Back S2 is there as well but doubt I can finish that too.
Shameless as well.

Finished up S2 of Homeland. Hadn't heard of Banshee before, so I watched the first two eps last night. I'll be watching the rest of the season before the weekend is over. I guess Game of Thrones will have to wait. There are other shows I'd like to try but just not enough time to do so.

3 days definitely isn't enough time for you cheap bastards to watch 40+ hours of premium shows.

I'm watching the On Demand selections, though, so I started a few days ago.
I have to say all this great content is very tempting, but I have lots of other stuff to watch that I've put on hold for this week.

I can get the Cinemax channels on Directv but when I tried to download Hunted from Cinemax VOD I got this message
"Do you want to add this channel to your Directv package? Please call (whatever phone number was on the screen)"
Ripoff

Same here. I'll just have to record it Saturday and Sunday night on 517. Have to move a few things around Sunday night, but it shouldn't be a problem.

There is a VOD section there specifically called "Free HBO, Free Cinemax etc" that only lets you download select shows, movies etc. I should have mentioned this earlier.

It looks like MMAX or something like that will air 5 Banshee shows on Sat and another 5 on Sunday around 5pm PDT each day though no Hunted shows.
