Probably bunk but ... - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

I just got a phone call from Bell. Coincidentally right after I answered the call from Bell, Shaw phoned so I had them on the 2 lines at once. But I digress. The Bell guy wanted to set me up with a new new promo for Movie Central . He told me that they had jacked up their channel count to 7 channel;s. I told him I wouldn't be interested until Movie Central got serious about High Definition. He told me that the the new channels were all in HD. I asked him about it a number of times and he kept coming back that they were in HD.

I am not buying it for a minute. It is probably just the CSR doesn't know the difference between Highdef and Digital. But I thought I would ask, does any one know any thing about new channels from Movie Central on Express Vu?

You know, MC actually has gotten better with their HD programming.

It isn't 24 hour programming by any means, but the HBO shows are all on. Also, there are fewer showings of HD movies at times like 4 am. Movies are on at more accessible times now.
