Thanks for the info

I too have them on DVD and they have all already been or soon will be on "free" TV. So it's not a big deal in my book! For me a better christmas present would be putting up the EA dish that I have needed since Feb (at no charge).

Are they in HD? I guess for a nickel you can't complain if they're not.

 

[Lord_Vader]

Does it require a new 2 year commitment or maybe a Holiday viewing integration fee?

They are not in HD. Not even worth a nickel in SD, IMHO.

How do you know this ? If you're basing it on the channel # slot, isn't 556 a 'new' channel (temporary) for PPV ?

 

[jerryez]

Old movies, not worth 5 cents.

Why would anyone pay(even 5 cents) for movies that will be on many many times between now and Christmas on non PPV channels?
TBS usually does "A Christmas Story" for 24 hours straight.

When I try to rent a Christmas movie from Netflix at this time of year, it's HOPELESS. So this deal has it's uses.

No commercials

I based my assumption on the fact that 556 is in the SD PPV channel block. I would be pleasantly surprized if I am wrong, because I wouldn't mind recording a couple of the movies to archive, providing that they won't disappear in 24 hrs.

Does PPV range go that high ? If so, my mistake...

526-558 sdppv.
