Premiums: original shows or movies?

[TomCat4680]

A new survey I thought of for those who subscribe to (a) premium channel(s).

 

[jcrandall]

Man, Tomcat, I get them for both, and try to rotate them for deals (B1G1) and DVR many movies to last months.

 

[stonecold]

Only one Ireally like is showtime and that is for US of Tara and Weeds , Dexter , Penn and teller buillshit... everything thing else is well poop . But I given the channels so it hard for me to say no

 

[Davedirectv]

I get them for both, Entourage and Hung on HBO, plus movies. Movies on Starz and Cinemax, and Weeds on Showtime.

 

[jcrandall]

Need to change that poll to include a Both option.

I agree, done and voted

 

[Jhon69]

I subscribe to the Premium Movie Channels for just that, Movies.

 

[TomCat4680]

I like movies on em all and True Blood on HBO, US of Tara and Dexter on Showtime, Max After Dark on Cinemax.

I hope D12 includes more premiums in HD. Remember this? DirecTV must have forgotten it.

DirecTV Press Release July 13, 2007 DIRECTV to Offer 11 HBO/Cinemax Channels in HD

And why don't we have HBO and Cinemax on demand?

They got more than movies though so calling them "movie channels" is technically a misnomer.

I'm going to print it out and send a copy with my bill payment for HBO/Max from now on.

Both...

 

[TNGTony]

Original programming and sports programming line Inside the NFL, Real Sports, Hard Knocks, and especially boxing. The movies are a nice perk, but it would be cheaper to get Netflix and you would get more current movies if it were just for the movies.

 

[charper1]

Originals. I dont need rehash on rehash each month.

 

[TomCat4680]

hey take down the both, it defeats the purpose of the poll. i want to know whats whats watched more on premiums. maybe i'm doing market research for DirecTV...

i want to know whats whats watched more on premiums.

You are asking the wrong question in your poll then. As I read it, you asked which one to subscribed for not which one you watch more of. Both questions can have very different answers for people.

I do agree though that a poll or post should not be edited with out the posters permission, unless it breaks a rule on the forum.

 

[scoop8]

Both, but I only watch the orig sports programming on the premiums, like "Inside the NFL". I've been thinking about dropping back to Choice Extra from Premium for a while but after re-adding the Sports Pack and maybe the Starz pack, it's almost a wash as far as the $$'s so I've stayed with Premium so far.

 

[jtwex]

Though pricey, I still have all the premium movie channels dating back to the old USSB days. Sometimes they are more worth the price when 1st run shows like the Sopranos & Band of Brothers are running; anxiously awaiting the Band of Brothers themed series based in the pacific airing this winter.

I agree they need to specify Movies with Series why? because it's cheaper than paying for more movies!.:rant:
