Congrats if this is true!!!

I posted about it in the Platinum thread since I figured maybe I missed it on here as well. If you go on the Sony Movie Channel page and pick your provider it gives the info you talked about. The Directv one still says call your provider, so it must be updated info anyway.

Judging from the movies highlighted on the site, can't say I'm terribly excited.

Yup reported this back in May. Glad to see its coming true now.

Also look kfor a 3D channel from SONY later this year as well.

BTW here is what the website currently says...

Sony Movie Channel is available on DISH Network channel 386.

Starting October 1 you will be able to access Sony Movie Channel and Sony Movie Channel DISH Network Video On Demand.

Also note when you "SIGN UP" that all the providers are listed in ABC order... but DISH Network is listed above them all.

Hope they are commercial free, and eventually in HD.

It's an HD channel to begin with.

This was from their Facebook Page
Sony Movie Channel Get ready for .... SONY MOVIE CHANNEL ...... UNCUT FILMS ...... STUNNING HD QUALITY ...... 10.01.10 ...... CC

What interesting is they also say they will offer 3D.

Sony Movie Channel is the first U.S. multi-platform television network from Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) created specifically for the Hollywood movie fan. Offering uncut and uninterrupted theatrical releases in stunning high definition and 3D. Programming is selected from more than 3,500 Sony Pictures films, which collectively have received 184 Academy Awards including 12 for Best Picture.

Nice! Will this be bundled with the Platinum HD? If so we already have that, so hopefully the channel will show-up on Oct 1st, just in time for Halloween movies

me To!!! Heck with EPIX, Encore, HD Movies, Indie & RetroPlex and MGM along with Netflix I am pretty much set with Movies..... Bring em' On... CC

The front page makes a reference to full high definition. Is this a 1080p channel?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Full high definition is any 720p, 1080i signal. No it won't be in 1080p.

 

[lakebum431]

That's what I expected Scott, but just wanted to be clear. As you know the TV manufacturers have used the term Full HD to describe their 1080p sets for the past few years. This is not entirely accurate, but has been widely used so I wanted to clear up any confusion. Thanks.

Not to change the subject, but since Sony owns part of it and Lionsgate and Comcast own the rest is there any news about FearNet HD being added as well? Dish seems to have pretty good relations with Lionsgate, since they have Epix, so perhaps there is a chance that they will add it. It is probably not as good as MonstersHD was, but maybe it will be better than Chiller is.

Wonder if it will show 2.35:1 movies in OAR?

How long until the channel is removed due to a carriage dispute / lawsuit with Sony?
