I was just going through my guide and noticed that Starz Theater has been replaced by a new channel Starz edge.I also noticed changes in the guide.All of the Starz and Encore channels appear to be listed a little different.
 
Sort of... from the dish channel chart changes today:
340 and 341 remain Encore (EPG Change from ENC-E & ENC-W to ENCOR & ENCRW)
342 was The Westerns Channel, now Encore Westerns (EPG Change from WSTRN to EWSTN)
343 was The Action Channel, now Encore Action (EPG Change from ACTN to EACTN)
344 remains Encore Mystery (EPG Change from MSTRY to EMYST)
345 was True Stories, now Encore Drama (EPG Change from TRUE to EDRAM)
346 was Love Stories, now Encore Love (EPG Change from LOVE to ELOVE)
347 was just plain WAM, now Encore WAM (EPG Change from WAM to EWAM)
350 and 351 remain Starz (EPG Change from STZ-E & STZ-W to STARZ & STRZW)
352 was Starz Theater, now Starz Edge and it no longer repeates the same 4 movies all week (EPG Change from STZTH to SEDGE)
353 and 354 remain Starz Cinema (EPG Change from STZCE & STZCW to SCINE & SCINW)

Starz! Family did become Starz! Kids & Family but only because they merged Starz! Family & Starz! Kids together.

They felt having these two channels was going to/or was creating redundent programing.

Also remember that by merging these channels that you dish network customers can now see shows that was on Starz! kids which dish network did/does not carry.
 
so the only channel E* does not have is starz comedy, correct? (and also movieplex, but starz doesn't count that in their packs, it's a promo channel)

BFG,

The movieplex is a chanee that rotates daily between all of the Encore Theme channels, so if you have the Encore theme package MoviePlex is redundant.

Actually, it's not even that good - the movies on MP are edited down from R rated - that's one reason why you see some cable systems put it on expanded basic.
 

510 programming with time change

Need to get AT60+ or higher to get MLB EI?
