Why isn't the 2017 fall freeview free?

Yes, me too. For something heavily advertised, it isn't accessible. There isn't a "Fall Freeview" to choose from. Anything available that I click on comes back with the message that I have to call to start the service. Not one of the premiums works.Way to lower expectations even more, Cox.

everything I found on google says it towards the end of September not middle

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us.  The HBO fall freeview will be from September 19 to 25th.

As of today, Sept 19, no free HBO.  Even though it's advertised as such.  Why does Cox send me an email saying I can watch things for free when I can't?  I even contacted Cox tonight via the website.  The Cox employee didn't know what I was talking about "freeview" and couldn't help.

Nice gesture, but totally useless if, like me, you're already a Cox Contour TV Premier subscriber.

Having received the first Fall Freeview email a week or so ago (and posting here in this forum for further info/clarification, which I didn't get), I scoured and 'favorited' some ND (one of Cox' on demand providers) movies I'd like to see (Beauty and the Beast, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and a few others). It didn't work. I then navigated to channel 1, where I discovered that the promo wasn't going to work on movies that aren't included in my current plan.

If you check, you will find that this thread was started on the afternoon of the 19th of September.

I go to CHANNEL 1, Select FREEVIEW, then select a channel and a program. Then I see the 'You have to buy first' Prompt.

Yes I am using Contour.

The purpose of FREEVIEW is to give people a free preview of channels they do not have, not channels they already have.

I use the following link for any free preview of premium channels:  http://www.freepreview.tv/tag/cox-cable

It's just straight info:  network, start date, end date, comments.

There are no shameless self-promotions, misleading ads or inevitable questions.

I unsubscribed to all Cox email because it's just spam.

Bookmark it.

The promotion sent to me by Cox has images from HBO and Showtime shows (you should probably take a look at the promotional email sent out) that are not accessible in the Freeview.  That's false advertising and a poor way to treat current customers.  In the grand scheme of life, this is unimportant; however, still kinda crappy on Cox's part.

Remember, the email is from a Marketing Dept.  Marketing doesn't waste resources to inform you but to persuade you.  Cox is using this upcoming HBO Free Preview Weekend as an opportunity to promote other channels.

From the link I provided above, free Showtime was in February (17-20 2017).  Therefore, the Showtime logo is purely persuasive and misleading.

HBO & Cinemax Free Preview on Cox...begins September 28, 2017 (Thursday) and ends October 1, 2017 (Sunday).  However, as per the link, the free weekend may be for certain regional areas of Cox.  There's another HBO & Cinemax free preview in November which may include your area.

Free Preview of EPIX & StarzEncore for Some Cox...begins November 17, 2017 (Friday) and ends November 30, 2017 (Thursday).  However, again per the link, this may not include your area.  Check your latest bill.
