Author Topic: Could DS Air on the Premium Horror Channel Showtime Beyond?  (Read 1674 times)

OK, I have an idea for yet another DS petition.

Dish Network, my satellite provider, includes Showtime Beyond, a commercial free, all horror/sci~fi/ fantasy channel.
It's part of my Showtime super-pak.

I know that Time Warner & RCN Cable also offer Showtime Beyond.
I'm sure other systems that I don't know about
offer it as well.
I do know that Direct TV & Comcast don't carry it.

So, might Showtime Beyond be a good home for DS reruns?
The channel shows an even mix of Hammer/AIP classics, direct to video horror trash,
Asia Extreme horror & select British TV series, plus reruns of the new Outer Limits.

What about DS?
Would people here support an effort to get the series (both of them) on Showtime Beyond?
If the channel did pick up DS, you need only to subscribe to Dish Network to pick it up.

and keep in mind that as a premium (pay) channel, Showtime Beyond is not concerned with Neilsen ratings.
DS could have many runs on such a channel!

I probably wouldn't sign that petition because I have DirecTV and we aren't going to switch anytime soon. The parents like it. So I still wouldn't be able to see DS on TV where it should be. It wouldn't benefit me at all to have it on that channel.

BTW, just discovered the Chiller Channel on DirecTV the other day. Hopefully they get some other stuff on there soon. Seems to be all the same all the time.

Chiller MIGHT work for DS, except that it's an NBC owned channel, like Sci Fi, which lost interest in DS.

Right now, only Direct TV carries Chiller.
Until more carriers pick Chiller up, I don't think the programming will  get more varied.
