I can't wait! Too bad the Brosnan movies aren't part of this. Will they be on at a later date?

I do not know. The ones above are the ones that were licensed in the press release. The press released mentioned only 17 titles.

Getting close now... when will we see a real schedule I wonder?

Now we're talking....

OK, E*... now how about jacking up the resolution to full HD. This is the channel you want playing at your retailers to help you sell HD programming....

I wish 622 would hold more than 30 hrs.

Well, if they follow their pattern, they will rerun these for months, unless it is a one month window they have here.....
