Two new movie channels have been launched on DISH Network recently, giving movie fans who subscribe to DISH more to choose from.
The first one is known by the name “The 3” or “The 3 From Epix,” which refers to the three decades drawn upon for the movies that are shown on the channel. Movies from the 1970’s, 1980’s and 1990’s are featured, making the new channels a sort of “classic” movie channel, but perhaps not to the level of what we might consider “classic” like some of the greats from the 1940’s, 1950’s and 1960’s.
“Providing our customers with an unmatched in-home movie experience at the best value is a top priority, and we are excited to expand our movie offerings to include titles from the broad EPIX film library," according to Dave Shull, who is the senior vice president of Programming for DISH Network.
On the other hand, those who prefer those older more “classic” flicks might be happier watching the other newly-launched movie channel. AMC HD is now on DISH and although the channel started out with an emphasis on classic movies, the type of content that inspired the name, which stands for “American Movie Classics.”
AMC still shows classic movies, but have expanded their offerings over the years and now include more variety like series-oriented programming like Breaking Bad and Rubicon.
For now, DirecTV does not offer AMC HD but is said to be working on getting it included in their line-up.
“The 3 From Epix” can be found on DISH Network channel 292, while AMC will occupy channel 130.
