KungFu HD and FilmFest HD now on Voom

[who_the]

9479 and 9480 are now KNGFU (KungFu HD) and FILMF (Film Fest HD) on Dish Network. They had been showing their new bugs this morning, but my guide just flipped to the new designators a few minutes ago.

No new channels yet though.

Goodbye GuyTV

Television for Guys.

We will miss you, and thanks!

PS. The HDNews channel is still showing Majestic promos. I hope they add the new channels soon. There is alot of GuyTV content that now does not have a home unless they really stretch the genre's!!

[Sean Mota]

I will miss "GuyTv, Tv for Guys" but I will welcome with open arms FilmFest HD and FU HD.

Sad though when the best part of a channel is the promos and bumper clips. :

What are the title of the movies on FU HD?

According to PGI yesterday it was supposed to be:

GuyTv HD: Executioners (1993)

GuyTv HD: Dragon Lord (1982)

GuyTv HD: Zatoichi: Blind Swordsman & Chess (1965)

What are they showing now?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Maybe they'll rename the channel FilmFists...a perfect compliment to KungFU. Anyway, new channels are context are eagerly anticipated.

 

[Sean Mota]

I just saw it shows more than 3 movies per day but are they actually showing what the PG says. This morning Executioners was supposed to be playing at around 6am. I DVR'ed and checked this morning but instead I've got one episode of the Zatoichi Japanese series.

Awesome, a dog show in HD on WorldSport!

Yep .. i am looking at my on screen PG .. 9479 now says KNGFU instead of GUYTV and there is now a 9480 which is FILMF .. I would say the changes are happening.
Sorry if this is another Thread with this but i am excited!!

It looks like Film Fest will be the home for anything that doesn't fit into the themed channels- not just "art" films. This week is all comedies, next week looks like Majestic again, week after that is movies made from books, and the last week is music/rock movies. Someone else saw a clip from a Bond movie in a promo. Seems pretty cool. I don't see why anything from GuyTV or Majestic couldn't fit in. If anything, this one channel should offer more than the other two combined.

I turned it on at 8 this morning (10am your time). Dragon Lord was on, and Executioners came on at 8:20 or 8:25 (whatever time it was supposed to.)

I think the overnight schedule was screwed up...maybe they didn't know what time the switch was going to be made. Last night, the schedule on both channels had generic "Movie" listings, but GuyTV and Majestic was still on.

FILMF is an anagram for LIFMF. It could be Lifetime Movie for Females in HD. Dish isn't yanking Lifetime, they are upgrading them to HD.

 

[aspanjer]

That is a good point about FilmF and Lifetime!! there are a few other networks that could use a little competition such as: SCI FI
