I know why pay cable networks do this, giving cable viewers a free weekend to sample their original programming along with what movies they offer. They obviously wish to tempt potential new subscribers by giving them a free “taste”. Kind of like a drug pusher.

I could afford to subscribe once again to HBO, but at this time I really don’t feel like ballooning my monthly Comcast bill. So, for the time being, I’ll just have to be more aware when they offer free weekends like this in the future, so I can jam in as much viewing as possible.
