the title says it all I guess. dunno if there is anything being broadcasted or not as I'm not a subscriber.
 
Oh, please, please, please, PLEASEEEEEE, make this happen.
I've been wondering why the magazine has the "H" designation for so many movies when they are not, in fact, available in HD from any outlet I have ever heard of....
I just yesterday sent an email to Astral Communications asking specifically about this, *hopefully*, but not likely, I'll get an informative response from them...
Geez, it would be revolutionary if they REALLY added this, it would put BEV's offerings on par with some of the best in the US...(believe it or not...).
 
Anyone have any idea as to what this channel with me like with respect to programming?

Will those of us that already subscribe to the Premium movies AND HD have to pay extra to get this channel?

it's currently off the guide for me. It might only be visible to the TMN subscribers in the east. Can someone confirm ?
 
I guess I was right and you were wrong afterall :-)

The articale says it's launching only on Rogers. I looked last night and it wasn't there.

Is it coming to Bell???
 
I remember a few weeks ago one evening I did see it show up on the list with no programming. The next day it was gone, but this would have to be a good sign.
 
What other HD channels that you want are not on EV? Chances are that EV is just holding out to get a better deal for carriage. I am just wondering what EV is going to charge subscribers for the "privilege" of watching MHD.
 
I received a reply to an email inquiry to Astral about this, in that reply they stated that it was coming to BEV, and would launch on January 9th, but I have yet to see it show up in the guide.
Quite frustrating, as usual with BEV. There is a movie showing in HD today on the new channel which I would love to cap, but I'm sure BEV will screw it up and the launch will be delayed and I will miss the opportunity.
I'm an optimist, I'm sure BEV will screw it up....
 
I still don't have Moviepix HD.
I have the Expressvu 9200 receiver.
I have unplugged it for 15 minutes for a reboot ... but still no Moviepix HD.
 
it's up there (on BEV) already, it's just hidden from us, the subscribers for now (same as with Gol TV and CGTV - these two since Nov 1st '05)
 
Why is Bell such a stupid, stupid company ??
Why are they delaying adding this channel ?
Did someone just forget to switch it on ?
 
scanning Nimiq 2 with FTA receiver confirms the existence of "MPXHD" on 839. It is there, but its hidden from us the same way as Gol TV Canada on 404 and Casino and Games TV on 690.

There is also "LFEHD" on 835 which I have no idea what it might be.
