Is this pronounced "E-Pix" with a long E, or "EP-ix", short E, like "epics"??? Just curious, as I know they are pushing their online site as well.

According to Wikipedia it is pronounced like epics.

Epix (TV channel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia@@AMEPARAM@@/wiki/File:Epix.png" class="image"><img alt="Epix.png" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/26/Epix.png/200px-Epix.png"@@AMEPARAM@@en/thumb/2/26/Epix.png/200px-Epix.png

Not that I would go on that alone, but they are mainly concentrating on television. I think that means epics as in a truly long movies as opposed to e-pix.

While DirecTV is the sports leader, Dish is the HD Movie Channel leader.

Could be a great way to promote their Differences with DirecTV.

Dish is also the SD Movie Channel leader with The Hallmark Movie Channel and more Premium Movie Channels in SD than DirecTV.

Epix in talks with Echostar/Dish Network.

Greenberg declined to comment on which companies Epix was speaking with. However, sources with knowledge of the situation, who declined to be identified because talks were ongoing, have said Epix is in advanced discussions with EchoStar Corp's (SATS.O) Dish Network, which reaches more than 13 million satellite television households.

Could that be one of the new HD channels they are testing that was uplinked yesterday? There is video on those test channels, however since its scrambled we have no way of knowing what it is.

Supposedly, Epix is going to have its entire movie catalog available online for subscribers. If I'm Dish, and I have a new flagship box coming out soon with a web tuner, why don't I push to pick up Epix and capitalize on the marketing of being able to offer a 15,000 movie catalog through the 922? It sure beats the heck out of what normal premium channels offer, and I really feel like On Demand is one area where satellite has missed the boat versus cable.
