Author Topic: Satillite TV offers something for us film buffs. Alan Gouger Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 501 From: Bradenton, FL, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 09-13-2003 02:57 PM                        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  |  IP: Logged Jim Alexander Film Handler Posts: 71 From: Greenwood, Nova Scotia, Canada Registered: Nov 1999 posted 09-13-2003 09:09 PM                        They have similar channels on the other Canadian Satilite system, Star Choice. Just as a note, it's Bell Express-Vu  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 09-15-2003 02:06 AM                     That sounds pretty cool.
