Free movie channels during this time

You would think Direct TV owned by AT&T would have free movie channels during this time. That would be really nice of them especially with everyone at home... As much money as those companies make you would think they would. It's not like they need 100 workers to flip that switch... I noticed they are offering some movie channels if you have U-verse TV....

DirecTV has been getting free channels as well: https://about.att.com/pages/COVID-19.html

We’ll kick things off by providing an extended complimentary preview of SHOWTIME for our DIRECTV and U-verse customers starting March 20 until March 26 (if SHOWTIME isn’t part of their current video package). Starting March 26-April 2, DIRECTV and U-verse customers will get a complimentary preview of Starz. In the coming weeks, we’ll offer additional previews of premium channels, while also expanding to include our AT&T TV and AT&T TV NOW customers:

EPIX: 4/2-4/16

HBO and Cinemax: 4/17-4/20

So DirecTV and U-Verse started with the free channels and it expanded to their other platforms as well.
