Epix channel, Cable TV & Internet, no one told me.

--Pete:
Besides, I don't think the cable channel is free. And the website seems mostly trailers, interviews, etc. with very few movies.

It's been free now for 6 months, it's just a matter of time for EPIX to start charging once they have signed on to the major distributors companies like Cable/Dish/Direct TV.

I signed up for their free pass (7 days) because they have Iron Man and I hadn't seen it. There are a few more I might watch but I wouldn't pay a subscription for watching their movie selections online.

Same here they have some movies I would like to add to my collection, but I won't buy a subscription.

http://www.hulu.com has a lot of free tv and movies legitimately, and all the major broadcast companies also stream their content such as abc.com, NBC.com, CBS.com, starz, and even southparkstudios.com for their episodes. They are legitimate. Apple.com/QuickTime or QuickTime.com also streams trailers and has done so for years now.

Thanks for the URL, always nice when included in a repy. I have HULU in my favorites bar. One good URL deserves another this one is part of AOL TV: http://www.slashcontrol.com/

As someone who canceled Cable television over two years ago for various reasons, I see the need to chime in here.

Dito, to ALL of your above points.

My pet peeve "Channel LOGO" & Coming attractions during the broadcast, "I HATE them." for that reason I do not watch commercial TV progams like AMC. IF I must, I record them & use the Commercial Skip Button on my DVD player.

I pay for COX extended cable & the movie tier that includes Encore, if you wait long enough most movies show up on Encore or TCM.

I love my favorite movies, all 900+ I copied, I put 3 movies on 1 DVD for future viewing. I think I have OCD when it comes to coping movies. I have a Sony 400 Disk player, 1 DVD recorder with a 160Gb hard drive connected to the digital cable box & 1 DVD/VCR combo recorder connected to the coaxal cable thanks to a splitter.

Once a year I do buy a Special offer for X-amount of months & when I do I record my favorites. Otherwise it's just extended cable, No premium channel for $15 per month for all the repeat programs they ALL show.

I purchased about 20 movies, most are Director's Cut [LotR, Godfather, Xmen each a trilogy box set].

IF I were to watch 1 movie a night it would take me 3 years to watch my enitre collection.

edit: Screw PPV for $5, Get NETFLIX for an avg of $1 per movie
