Action Max and 5 Star Max

[planetx]

I was channel surfing and noticed that these two channels are now available a day before they are scheduled to be turned on, on channels 313 and 314.

[planetx]

Available to all Cinemax subscribers (who up to now only had a pitiful 3 channels to choose from. And one of those was a west coast feed.

[Darkman]

hehe - but are they Watchable Right now as we speak (or only available in Red now in guide, until officially given to subs)?

[Whammy]

There was a posting by a John Weathers on DBSForums.com that the new Cinemax channels will be launched on Jan. 29, 2003.

It's watchable right now for all Cinemax subs. I was watching Vertical Limit on Action Max earlier. I love action movies and I think it's a good channel addition. :)

I called OnSat and asked when these channels would be included in their Dish Edition. I was told that it would be three weeks after they were notified. I asked if my call could be considered notification, and they said yes! So if you're an OnSat subscriber, the Dish edition will reflect the Cinemax changes soon.

5-Max is a bit of a schitzo one. You have 4 star movies like Dr. Zhivago and then Paulie Shore in "In The Army Now" (a 1 star movie.)

That would be the year after the Brad Pitt and Val Kilmer tie, right?

Sandler was awesome in Punch Drunk Love.

Now that we know he has some potential, will he become a Bill Murray (or at least a periodic Dan Ackroyd) and continue to do more quality stuff or work his way into Chevyhood.

[Unthinkable]

Hope so. Lord only knows that his career can't take another Little Nicky.
