A satellite company out of Canada called Bel Vu has to my surprise 2 interesting channels that I hope make it to the US Direct TV and Dish network.
Ch. 582 Silver Screen Classics and ch. 578 called Drive In.
They play all the old drive in classics 24 hours a day including the old adds and cartoons. Its great. Some of the cartoons have turned red and you see the warning dots and emulsion lines on all the features. Playing right now is Curse of the Swamp creature with a Betty boop cartoon on the other ch.

Lots of fun. Just thought Id pass this along [Smile]

They have similar channels on the other Canadian Satilite system, Star Choice. Just as a note, it's Bell Express-Vu

Really though, who buys an ExpressVu dish to watch anything but hockey?
