Re: Epix
I had also heard that those who had the Triple Play would get it for free.
One thing that would really help them. Lower the window between theatrical release and Epix screening even more.
Tonight the linear channel features rebroadcasts of Benjamin Button and the Madonna concert.
I would had shown Star Trek  |

What matters to me the most is that Paramount, Lions Gate and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer won't sell or won't sell in a timely manner their content to anyone else like Showtime and HBO.
Frankly, part of me wants Epix to fail.
[/BQUOTE :Same here. If Sh0wtime were to regain the rights, the films would be presented properly, without any mutilation. |

Showtime is NOT interested in the films.
Besides they had an 18 month window between a theatrical release and a screening on their channel.
I agree as much as you about OAR,but with Epix actually OWNED by the studios they could have a much shorter window.
I can even foresee the day when they air movies BEFORE they run in theaters a la HDNet Movies. |

And the "window" can always be renegotiated. But, shorter window or not, I wouldn't watch a cropped film, especially if I'm being asked to pay for it. |

I got an Email from the folks at Epix
"We hear you loud and clear about getting the movies in OAR." |
