Starting last week (I think), Cinemax renumbered their On Demand link to a different channel number than Cinemax East (307 vs 306). All other premiums have their On Demand link sharing the first premium group’s channel number).

Then, the streaming channel (More Max, 309) was put into a collapsible channel (now 309-01) with no other streaming Cinemax channels. Why? Are more on the way? Odd changes.

I’m sure they are staging the channels. You can bet there will be more channels on 309.

You wont ever be able to record them,
BUT...you already CAN trick-play these streaming-only channels (pause, FF/REW, etc.)
But Scott said they were working on allowing the other Fast Channels ( 90) to be recorded.
Josh M (from DISH) hinted at this back in Feb when I brought this up - but still not here (yet):
 

Best time to switch to Dish?
