Back in April, I had an issue with Comcast which resulted in three months of HBO for free. I was then able to watch the Game of Thrones series, based on the George R.R. Martin books that I so loved; and I got caught up on the whole series and finished out the season, after which I cancelled HBO and never got charged.
Then recently, my sister learned that another series was being made based on some favorite books: the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. Well, we HAD to watch it so I called Comcast to order Starz. But then I learned that pay channels are not available on these old converter boxes and to pay for Starz AND get a new converter box was just not an option. I got a little upset about the unfairness of it all and complained. I was therefore given three months of Starz for free – along with HBO and Showtime! Apparently problems can sometimes bring benefits!
So my sister and I happily have been able to watch the new Outlander series and while it seems to be moving awfully slow, we are enjoying it. Will the season be finished before our free three months are up? I don’t know, but it is highly possible. And if we have to pay for a month or two, we have certainly gotten our money’s worth!
