I was pleasantly surprised to find this channel in my new Dish Network lineup. I'm a sucker for old horror movies, so this channel is great for me. Anyone else watch?

For those that aren't familiar with this channel, check out the line up:

I really need to come up with a way to record some of this stuff in HD.

I did for a few months but they seemed to have gone on a binge of slasher/hellraiser movies which just gross me out. I like the old b&w crappy monster movies, which they do show. Lately it's just been gross stuff though

Yeah, I have to agree that there was a lot of that there for a while. But the classic stuff is really cool.

Unfortunately though, it looks like they like to play 1.33 stuff cropped instead of pillar boxed. At least the stuff I've seen so far is like that. If that's the case with everything, that stinks.
