The month of October is here, and you know what that means: Spooky season is in full swing! It’s also one of the best months to get outside, where you can enjoy the fall colors and savor the last remaining days of mild weather. In that spirit, DISH has free previews of Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel all month long. Las familias hispanohablantes también podrán disfrutar de preestrenos gratuitos de Discovery Familia e HISTORY en Español durante todo octubre. And if you’re a sports fan, October is possibly the best month of the year, so celebrate the return of the NBA and NHL with free previews of NHL Center Ice and NBA League Pass. This October, DISH has so many free previews, it’s scary. To get all of these free previews, use this link to find the right DISH package for you and subscribe today!
