They had a press release about this. They shortened the name to AMC (sort of like Kentucky Fried Chicken to KFC) and made a commitment to start airing more modern movies. Modern movies cost more than 1940's films so they had to become advertiser based. It was strictly a business decision that...

Any channel with advertising edits the movies. Not because they legally have to, but because they don't want to upset their money source. If AMC aired Basic Instinct unedited with the p*scene, it would really upset advertisers. They don't want to lose Johnson and Johnson and other family...

Yeah, doesn't really matter. The important thing is that providers start picking all these channels up as they come out. After having DirecTV and FIOS and then moving and being stuck with just DirecTV, I am jonesing for some good HD. Cannot wait until I can get FIOS back. It was nice to get all...

They are all the Starz family of channels. Movieplex is just a different Encore channel a different day of the week. While FIOS mistakenly labeled them Starz Indieplex and Starz Retroplex in the guide, they were Encore channels on their own promos. Different providers will market them...

All 26 HBO/MAX channels are available in HD and as far as I know only FIOS carries them all. Technically Indieplex and Retroplex HD channels are Encore so at least part of the Encore suite is in HD already other than Encore.

Join the crowd in waiting for AMC HD. I have FIOS and DirecTV and have been dying to get my Breaking Bad in HD. Season 3 won't start until probably march. Hopefully by then!

Season is almost over now. I have FIOS and DirecTV in my home and neither provider has AMC HD. It is so annoying. So Dish still doesn't have it up either. I know Time Warner/Bright House is getting it but I am not switching back to them. Of all the channels in HD I don't get, I really want AMC...

I'd like to skip the new left hand banner ad on this site for us non supporting members. Very intrusive and I would bet money that site visits go down. I know I'll be visiting this site less with this ad so annoyingly placed. I have been contributing to this site since like 2007. It is the...

I subscribe to all premiums (the primary ones, not The Jewish Channel, WWE, Here, but HBO/MAX/SHO/Starz/TMC/Encore), and I now have DirecTV and FIOS in my home. I carry all my premiums with FIOS, which means I have all HBO/MAX channels in HD (26), all available Showtimes and most Starz, yet...

I don't know about the rest of you but I'd take HDNet and HDNet Movies over Lifetime Movie Network HD and ABC Family HD any day of the week. This is just silly. There is a real reason they are dropping these channels and it isn't the reason they are giving. Foolish. Hogwash.

OK, so is this thread just about Dish vs. DirecTV? Sitting right here in my house I have the option of five providers. Of those providers, FIOS offers the most HD. Not Dish. Not DirecTV (which I also subscribe to). Not Knology. Not Bright House Networks. I personally can get more HD from...

No, I was asking if this thread was just Dish vs DirecTV or if it is including other providers. FIOS is the leader in HD and has been since last summer. Can we talk about FIOS or is it just DirecTV vs. Dish Network, neither of which is the true HD leader?

Is this fight just between the satellite providers? Because FIOS still has more HD than those two services, especially in the realm of premium channels in HD. DirecTV was the HD leader for like a minute if that. But I don't count PPV channels and they had/have like 15 of them in HD and put...

Yea, but the other guy said they gave him seven days. That is plenty of other time to setup a plan with a person at the other receiver via the cell phone while you talk on a landline to Dish or bring the receiver home and make the call back. I wouldn't bother though. I wouldn't waste time...

I don't think so. If that were true, explain this scenario: Father in law lives in NY and has TW. Father in law has (2nd) southern home with TW. Father in law couldn't just pay for one set of TW with cable and Internet and transfer back and forth or keep both live with one bill. Father in...

I figured they made a game of it. Knowing how stupid the average human is, you probably catch them hook, line, and sinker. Did you quit or did they lay you off? I'm assuming you were laid off since you said you are unemployed. How big of staff did they have doing this "fun" job? Is it like a...

You are right.... it is a tough economy and if a customer splits a bill with his Uncle Bob and has a Dish receiver in two locations across town, it isn't all that different than the credit card companies upping your interest rate unless you opt out and close the card (which is happening to...

oh.... sneaky I see... they think they are sneaky. When you think down to it, why would a company ever call you and say your service will be disrupted if you don't call back in 7 days, as long as your bill is current. They wouldn't... that right there is suspicious if you think about it. But...

What if you never answer the phone. I mean, I don't answer my business phone or my personal phone if the number is an area code I don't recognize or says private, restricted, 00000, etc. I get too many solicitation calls on my business phone is the main reason for this. That is why I have...

When I had Dish, I was told by the installer that I only needed to hook to a phone line if I wanted to order PPV (which I don't do). I did however plug in Ethernet, which was Internet connected through my broadband connection. A few times when I moved my room around (which takes a day or two to...

Max channels I didn't read through all five pages of responses but you have some Max multichannels listed as Q2 2009 but they in fact are all live as we speak, as I have the luxury of having all 26 HBO/MAX channels in HD with FIOS. Overall your list is pretty good. As far as premiums go, you...

Forget the OAR..... we are asking for 16x9 instead of 4:3... that is certainly not too much to ask. Die Hard and Shawshank were both near or at the top of the box office during the years they came out. They are big movies. Too big to be cheapened down to 4:3 on a perfectly good 16x9 HD feed of a...

Encore HD is pointless if they are going to show crap in 4:3 all the time. They need to cough up the cash for the 16x9 HD rights.

Crazy, isn't it? I saw them airing Die Hard of all things in 4:3 on the Enocre HD channel. This is not typical of the HD premiums at all. I have them all with FIOS and most of what they air is good. They do pan and scan on some to be 16x9 for movies that are wider such as Transformers. The...

Yep, you've got me. I am just trolling around looking for trouble. Nevermind that I just happened to come to one of my favorite sites and saw your post on the side. I asked a legitimate question. Does anybody think HBO would do this if McCain were elected? Why don't you call Dish and ask if...
