MGM is not 5.1 like Monsters was. I'm not sure what is up with that. They do have a selection of horror I've been recording, but I've seen them all on Monsters HD in 5.1 already.
Mom is on now which is new HD, but still 2.0. All day today seems to be horror day on MGM.

I heard that another station called the "Scream channel" is being worked on.
I don't know if it will happen or not.
MGM has shown quite a few of the low budget indie horror and sci films that we used to see on Monsters HD.
Dont get to excited about scream. I have it through Starchoice. Its Canada's version of chiller.
Its all standard def loaded with commercials.
We dont need two chiller channels.
I WANT MONSTER BACK!!!
HDNMV is commercial-free.
Maybe Mark Cuban will buy Voom?
You know its funny you say that because I sent them all emails asking them to do that or create their own horror channel. lol
A HDNet/VOOM business relationship has been mentioned several times in the past. While a business relationship may be mutually beneficial, I doubt anything will happen due to the rift between Dolan and Cuban. In retrospect, VOOM's 15-year affiliate agreement with E* may have led to their being unable to sell the VOOM channels to others a la carte or is smaller quantities. Rainbow Media was successful at selling WE, AMC, IEF and Fuse so I couldn't understand why they couldn't find takers for their more popular channels like Monsters, Equator or Rave.HDNMV is commercial-free.

Yes - and they are all 2.0 and MONO
Pretty picture and crappy sound - sorry, it ain't no Monster HD or even close
In fairness, MGM simply leaves the original audio unchanged. Monsters basically did exactly what your audio receiver would do while processing it. If you noticed, the 5.1 never actually had true surround effects in movies that weren't recorded in it.
No - Monsters HD remastered many films in 5.1.
I recorded all the horror movies from MGM this week. The only active speaker is CENTER. I have a kick ass Sony 7.1 receiver and it does not process the MGM mono tracks into Monsters HD 5.1 like sound.
Frankenstein on Monsters HD was clearly 5.1 MONO
Night of the Comet was remastered into 5.1 on Monsters HD and ALL speakers were very active. Obviously it was just a 2.0 MONO remix into 5.1, but it was nicely done.
Night of the Comet on MGM is in 2.0 MONO with only my center speaker active.
Killer Klowns was mastered in 5.1 on Monsters HD
Killer Klowns was presented in 2.0 MONO on MGM
One sounded great - the other sounded crappy
Most of the horror/sci-fi on MGM is garbage. Last night I sat through as much "Neanderthal Man" as I could stomach before switching to Lord Stanley. Do not think I have watched a MGM movie in its entirety, yet.
My free HD for 6 months expires on June 17th. My calendar is set to drop HD ultimate on that date. At least Dish knows when I am going to drop service. Had I known when Dish was going to drop VOOM, I would not have signed up.

It's lowest common denominator television, for sure. Just like watching those cerebrally-challenged rednecks driving in a circle on SPEED.
