On the EPIX website it says that if you want a subscription to the website to call Dish.
This is what you get with a subscription:
When you subscribe to EPIX, you don't only get a cable TV channel and a Video On-Demand service, but also a website with movies. With EPIX, you can watch your favorite movies any time, anywhere.
I called Dish and they had no clue what I was talking about. So on epixhd.com I set up an account and then tried to subscribe, which looks free if your TV provider has the channel, but the only two providers in the drop-down menu were FIOs and Mediacom, even though there are several providers that carry EPIX.
I also wonder about the VOD portion of the subscription. Sounds great but somehow I see Dish screwing this up.
