    HD Cinema are a bunch of old Movies that no one cares?

    I don't believe that you were attacking a person, but rather attacking what you believe is a misperception about Cinema HD. The truth lies (interesting juxtaposition of words) between Cinema HD has nothing and it has everything. Some people can never be convinced of the merits or quality of...

    HD Cinema are a bunch of old Movies that no one cares?

    I guess I don't understand. Even if somebody never finds a movie they want to watch on Cinema HD, yet they are otherwise satisfied with Voom, what is the big deal? Why should they drop the service? If somebody cannot get all of their ota's should they drop Voom? If that was the case, then I...

    HD Cinema are a bunch of old Movies that no one cares?

    It costs money to obtain the rights to run the movies and the rights to the vintage movies you named are already owned by others. That is why it would be nice if TCM was in hd because they show many classic movies in their original aspect ratio because they appear letterboxed on my widescreen...

    HD Cinema are a bunch of old Movies that no one cares?

    I do not dislike Cinema HD, nor do I complain about it, but I do not think it is any better or worse than most of the other channels out there. I don't often find something I want to watch on Cinema HD, but sometimes I do--much like on most of the other channels I get. The fact that the movies...

    If HD Cinema could get the HD Transfers of?

    Last August and September I had Blockbuster's movie pass and was getting 2 dvds everyday and sometimes more on weekends. It was nice because it a movie wasn't good, I would just take it out and play the other. Usually I would get at least one movie I liked out of the two I had. They lost...

    If HD Cinema could get the HD Transfers of?

    You're right, everybody has a different opinion. I suppose if I stop going out to the movies and renting or buying dvds, then there would be plenty of new movies to watch on tv. But I have a 13 year old daughter who likes to go out to movies and I have a nice home theater system with a front...

    If HD Cinema could get the HD Transfers of?

    The premium channels do get some of the big, more recent hit movies, but much of the rest of the movies are very average. The problem with the newer movies is that I am too much on top of the curve when it comes to them. That is, if a movie is good and I want to see it, I probably all ready...

    Starz HD East: Hidalgo (WS) 9pm ET

    Well, that's a nice trick, I wish I could pull that one off (lol). I fell asleep and forgot about watching the movie, or at least looking at it again this afternoon. Either way, it didn't look bad to me, but the widescreen channel did seem better. As an aside, and ot, I pick orders at a...

    If HD Cinema could get the HD Transfers of?

    Well, I would say amen to that. A few weeks ago I signed up for VaVaVoom a few weeks ago when it seemed like Voom's immediate future was in doubt. It is much like what I remembered of premium channels: some new good stuff and a lot of new crap. It is just my opinion and taste, but new, old...

    Starz HD East: Hidalgo (WS) 9pm ET

    I was wondering about that, but the widescreen version on STZHD did appear to have a better picture than the fullscreen version on STARZ. I'll have to look again when it is on Sunday afternoon. I wonder what the point is of showing a new movie on a hd channel not in hd, as well as showing it...

    Lord of the Rings: Return of the King on Starz 261

    Was this the fs version of the movie? I noticed that there were no black bars on the top and bottom. I watched parts of the movie several times during the day on both my 30" Samsung widescreen hdtv and my InFocus 4805 from about 11' back on a 7' screen and the picture filled the screen...

    Vice HD (108): The Professional 7pm ET & 11pm ET

    I wondered what the deal was. The Professional is one of my favorite movies and the first time on it was 4x3 on the Vice channel, which I thought was odd. Today I see it is on widescreen, but with the bars on top like it looked on the IFC. I am recording it again now even though a half hour...

    VMFSFLHD: MLB Baseball : Florida Marlins at Philadelphia Phillies 10/3 at 1:30pm ET

    I'm not getting either channel Both are listed in my program guide, but I only get the "call Voom" message. Are these only supposed to be for Florida? If so, how many channels that I cannot get need to be listed in my program guide?

    Rainbow Media Unveils DIVINE HD First Ever 24/7 High-Definition Gay Movie Channel

    I don't see how VOOM would be catering to gays by adding this channel. Do they cater to racing fans by having a racing channel, or golfers by having a golf channel, or to the fashion conscious by having a fashion channel? If there is something I want to watch on that channel, then I will watch...

    Starting June 1, Cinema 10 changes its current format to 2 movies per day

    I haven't had any of the premium channels for years because I have found that they had some great new releases, and the rest are just average. I am not paying anymore for my basic VOOM than I was for my basic expanded cable. Why should I then expect VOOM to show only 3 and 4 star movies? I...
