Looking at the descriptions of the Voom channels, they seem to suck anyway. No loss at all on my part.

And from what I read, I could be wrong, they only have the east versions of their premium channels in HD

TBS is included. They do have it now, but Dish is not officially listing it yet.

Sorry if this was covered already, but does anyone know if MGM will show uncut (uncensored) movies, and if so, will this be a premium channel in the future? Couldn't find anything on DirecTv or MGM. Thanks!

You stole my work DodgerKing!!! You didn't bother to give credit. I worked on this list for over an hour plus the time that it later took to reformat it into a table!!!

Did you type 231-1 instead of 231? This is called a sub channel and I believe this is a test for future combining of like content.

Nice job on the formatted table. You might want to correct the dish name to "5-LNB" (low noise block) instead of "5-LMB".

cbjbs · 10-10-2007, 12:46 PM

i think the mgm hd channel looks pretty good. does anyone know how they take the old movies and convert them to hd? thanks for any response that might give me an insight to this.

They take the original film negative and lay it on glass and show light through it into a HD camera and use a digital quality audio pickup module and save them into a computer.

They cleanup the film and audio noise and artifacts that weren't there when it was made and then save it in HD with Dolby Digital EX formats.

After that they keep several copies in different locations so it will be available to copy for ever.

On the D* site they changed their new launch numbers from 27-32 new channels, but I'm only counting four new channels today:

CNBC
FOOD
MGM
NGC

What's the fifth? Is it a premium I'm not seeing? Thanks.
