One thought - after going through all 31 days' schedule, UHD is showing most of the films more than they have in the past - other than the Thursday Night and Saturday night features, they are repeating stuff several times.

And while this list isn't as impressive as February's, Universal obviously has a HUGE library of films to draw from.

Add to all of that, a pretty large series schedule as well, UHD is definitely a strong HD offering.

True but they choose not to show it on UHD.

Sure, but the way I look at it, every month they have at least four or five movies I want to see, and that's not bad, since UHD is part of the overall HD package, and not a premium.

Oh that is neat! I rented the DVD of Patch Adams a few weeks ago, and was inspired to buy Patch Adams' book. I haven't really read it yet, but its impressive stuff.

I wish all Doctor's were like him.

I'll probably rewatch 12 Monkeys... I wish one of the HD channels would show Young Frankenstein...
