That's all they used to show, same movie every third movie for almost the entire week. Hope they don't go back to that.

They have been having programming issues per the website they should be good to go now, supposedly they are getting new movies in December.

I checked the website also and they are talking about the program schedule not matching what is being broadcast a totally different problem which was an issue a few days back but now seems to be resolved, but I just checked the progran guide from this evening 7:30 pm eastern until tomorrow same time a full 24 hours and they are only showing 2 movies repeatedly Humanoids of the deep and Day of the Dead!! This really sucks!! What happened to the marathons!!:confused:

Best channel in the history of Television. My DVR is filled with nothing but movies from it.

The other night I watched Godzilla vs Mechzilla or some such. It was in Japanese with no subtitles. Perfect! I did know most of the words to the midget twins' song to call Mothra.

Monster channel rules!!!!

I agree they do show alot of repeats but they also show alot of movies you wouldn't find playing on other providers and I really love when they do the marathons.

I think kung fu channel is the worst for repeats and I love Martial arts movies but its the same ones over and over!!

Yea I agree it will be like this for a while because it has to do with money for the channels I mean now that cablevision has these channels to it may get better.

Universal HD is now doing the same thing.. 90 minute increments most of the night tonight.

I know when I first got dish almost 18 months now they had repeats but not the same 2 over and over all night like they have been doing lately. Something must be up.

I agree that they both have a lot of repeats and both show films you could not find elsewhere. When Monsters HD gets boring, I see what is on Kung Fu. Either way it does beat the heck out of watching some sitcom with 15-20 minutes of commercials per hour.

Some time ago there was a diversity of HD providers and channels, VOOM stood out against the pack. At first Dish let them continue, now I suspect they have more profitable plans for that bandwidth. Too bad, creativity is always difficult where profit is the motive.

I have been seeing some ads on TV for Chiller? Anyone know if it is any good? Who carries it?

Hopefully things will get figured out soon, because I love the voom channels.

I love the voom channels also but the repeats are getting rediculous. I've had dish for 18 months now and this is the worst i've seen it.

Yep and it would be a perfect compliment to MonstersHD. One more thing, I hope we get the HD version of Chiiler.

Is Chiller a future channel that Dish is going to offer?

I thought chiller is for directv only? Having two horror channels would be the best.

Chiller is new. Give it some time. All providers are looking at the deal being offered. It is in HD as well as SD.

Dish can't do much of anything now until the new satellites are up. AMC-14 is scheduled for March 2008. Let's all hope there are no set backs. Dish has 2 birds now ready to fly but there were launch delays.

I wonder if things are at a standstill untill the new satellites go up? Because there might be some moving of channels and things like that.
