Cinemax Hd To Launch Friday

[Scott Greczkowski]

I just got word from two seperate very reliable sources that Dish Network will be Officially Launching Cinemax HD on Friday by NOON Eastern Time.

Cinemax HD will air on channel 9458 from the 61.5 and 129 orbital locations, in true MPEG4 format.

Remember you heard it first from SatelliteGuys.

Well that means since E* hasn't enabled adding additional storage I'm going to have to delete some Planet Earth episodes and make room for Star Wars movies in HD! They premiere 3pm eastern on May 25th! Episode 1 THE PHANTOM MENACE at 3pm followed by Episode 2 ATTACK OF THE CLONES at 5:30pm. Episode 3 REVENGE OF THE SITH comes on at 7:30pm followed by Episode 4 A NEW HOPE at 10pm. Episode 5 THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK at Midnight followed by Episode 6 RETURN OF THE JEDI at 2:30am

Those have all been on HBO HD in the last couple of months as well.

Those have all been on HBO HD in the last couple of months as well.

But it'll be Mpeg4, and not Mpeg2 like the HBO version, thus takes up less space on the Drive.

woohoo, Skinamax HD!!!

 

[Pakbackr]

woohoo, Skinamax HD!!!

I have a feeling that most of the late-nite material will still be in SD

So, another HD channel I won't get because I don't subscribe to Cinemax, yet I do subscribe to HD. If you subscribe to HD, you should at least get the HD version of all available HD channels.

Excellent!

Now we can begin the TMC HD campaign.

TMC HD is not that great. It is basically showtime hd in the past...

Excellent news about cmax hd.... it was about time!

 

[datwell]

Cinemax HD? Great!

(Now, about that external storage...)

This is great news for those who have been waiting for the channel. Now if they would turn on the Oklahoma City Locals in HD that would make my week.

Why should you get the premium channels in HD for free when the rest of us have to pay for HBO, Showtime, Skinamax, etc...

Ante up and get the Everything pack if you really want Cinemax or any other premium movie channel in HD. Jeez.

[alexgmny]

Thanks for the News Scott.

We have been waiting for this channel a long time. We have to give E* a little break now, until DirectTV starts to show their push for HD leadership.

 

[RandallA]

DUH!!!

Boy....I never thought about that?

Thanks for your idiot reply.

Hmm, I see. So you want the Premium channels for free? Well, that ain't gonna happen. There's a reason why they're called Premium channels.

 

[long_time_DNC]

Well, that's good news! Thanks, Scott!
