I liked watching Monsters HD every Halloween.

Hopefully they are taking your advice Scott and capitalizing on being the HD movie channel leader! I know I for one hope so.

I am paying enough for TV and I am not going to pay more. If anything, I am looking to pay less, or at least keep it the same. I think I am paying too much now because of all of the "nickel and diming".

Unless Epix offers something more than movies 9 to 36 months after they are released, what good is it really? There are already plenty of movie channels which do that--what particular benefit accrues from one more?

The only thing going for it is they took a stranglehold on movies from their affiliates. Other than that it will not be worth it if they charge a premium price for a premium set with only one channel, and no special series to pad it.

**MikeD-C05** · 11-19-2009 06:59 AM

It should be included in the top 250 with NO price increase at all. Otherwise I don't see many people subbing to it. Premium prices are too high and going up every year or two. Who would think that anyone would be paying $15.99 a month for HBO ? I can remember when all premiums were $9.99 a month. If it weren't for original tv series like True Blood, I would never sub to HBO at all. So charge $9.99 or more , a month for one channel for EPIX and see if they get many takers.

If it weren't for bundling everything with AEP, I wouldn't have one single premium.

**gjh3260** · 11-19-2009 11:10 AM

Cinemax for a penny is what I pay and for as much as I watch it the price is about right. No other premiums here.

The catch with Epix is that they are supposed to offer free online streaming of the same movies from their site and free access to on-demand content from their library with subscriptions to their premium service.. what makes me curious is exactly how dish will offer the on-demand side of Epix. Perhaps that is the hold up.....
