According to my latest statement, Time Warner Cable has a free Showtime Preview Thursday, 3/3 through Tuesday, 3/8.  Channels 351 to 366 are included.  Does anyone know if Showtime HD on ch 501 will be available as well?

QuoteTo block out R-rated stuff, go to Channel 1999 and follow the instructions on parental controls. In the days before simple channel blocking, Time Warner didn't offer free previews of premium channels. - T.C. jsonline

When was the first free preview? I've had channel blocking on cable boxes for well over 15 years, yet this comment make it sound like folks here haven't had free previews for more than a year or so. There's been direct channel blocking from the local co since the early 80s too. Sure glad I didn't have TWC until now. Free previews were great, used to get Sho one weekend, HBO the next, followed by Max at least 2-3 times a year. It's as if they didn't do free previews because they didn't have any competition and didn't want to give anything away.

Don't know what's inclded as I already have Sho, but I would assume all channels are included.
