Free FX Channel in November

NOW subscribers get to test out the new FX Channel for 1 month.

This is really the way to test new products in the Hong Kong market not familiar with the likes of the 20th Century Fox cable TV channel from the U.S.. Barring the adult content that NOW TV runs, you may find the FX Channel offers alot of old school shows like Son of the Beach, JAG, Relic Hunter and MacGyver, but this all changes on Monday.

FX Asia is bringing the newest and most popular shows to its new line-up, like the award-winning Mad Men, Family Guy, The Riches, Peep Show, Saving Grace and the former Fox Mulder’s new show Californication – a dramedy with lots of nudity and humour in a way only the deadpan and recovering real-life sex addict David Duchovny can portray as seen in this clip below:

The free month of FX starts November 3rd and runs till December 2nd, 2008 so make sure you check it out on your NOW TV on Channel 524 (Usual price is HK$40 a month) and let us know what shows you find that we should be watching as well.
