Yeah, dumb girls. We shouldn't let them in our clubhouse.
My wife was just complaining last night because she wanted to get a PPV and the one she wanted to see wasn't in HD. She wouldn't buy the SD version.
Apparently their marketing campaign is too subtle for people like you.

Your wife does not represent all women. Just look at her. No... no... but seriously, I am talking about women overall. Read again what I said. Most HD channels to date have been aimed at men. Sports channels, History Channel, Discovery, SciFI...etc... most of the stuff so far has been aimed at men. I do think men are more interested in HD than women overall. You can't possibly doubt that. You know exactly what I mean. Who buys most of the HDTVs, men or women? That is usually the man's department. Women do most of the clothes and food shopping for the family. Of course these facts aren't ALWAYS the case. For example, I buy the clothing for my 11 year old son and do at least half of the grocery shopping (mainly because I have more time), but overall, there are more women at the grocery store than men doing the family's shopping. So don't cite some example of your wife and skew it like I am totally wrong. It is a fact that most channels so far in HD have been aimed at men and men are more "into" the electronics than women are. This is not really questionable.
As far as IFC, I am not stupid and see the giant "uncut." But I believed that was referencing the upcoming HD version of the channel. And uncut could mean no commercials but sex and language is edited out, or it could be unedited with commercials. Not necessarily both. I have since done a wiki search on it and see that they don't have commercials or edit the movies. This does not change the fact that I have bad memories of the once or twice I watched something on the channel. It is a vague memory. It could be the grainy picture that turned me off to it.
IFC is an uncut, unedited, commercial free channel. You can expect the HD version to be the same. That's what IFC stands for and they have high standards. They will show the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Evil Dead unedited and uncut without commercials so you can expect the same for all their movies - Independent Films obviously.
It's probably that the movies didn't have any talking robots or black guys dressed as fat women.
24HR HD Monster channel would be fine with me! No, not chiller its not nearly up to par.
Yes, I see it now. A law firm getting paid and not much else. Time to move along.
Something is wrong with Chiller.
It seems to be in the early start-up stages similar to when Sci-Fi started. (It took Sci-Fi year and years to build up to what it is today.)
I'm not sure how they can even sell advertising on all those old old old horror series. But this is a commercial channel, I don't think I've ever seen a commercial channel convert to a premium channel so I'm sure the HD version will be commercial.
I'm also not sure what the point of going HD would be since their current content propably could not endure upconversion (unless we want enhanced graininess).
One thing that might work for them, they are new and don't own too much content (other than old TV series) to begin with so they might be willing to invest in HD content. They are also operated by NBC Universal so they have easy access to their vaults.
IFC HD is owned by Rainbow Media (the Voom owners).
IFC HD would be a great great channel, but I'm not holding my breath.
Good point.
Chiller needs to make deals, like the ones monster made with New line.
But you may be right, universal might have a deep library.
Chiller might not know what direction to go in as of yet.
Right now they have a weak lineup.
