Yet I personally enjoy the Fox Movie Channel very much, and have often wondered why other studios didn't offer a similar service. This will end up being a nice addition to the menu for anyone interested in the combined backcatalog of these companies. Paramount's in particular. The freedom they'll have to dig back into their older work will allow for some very interesting programming, IMHO. Whether you are carefully DVR'ing exactly what you want, or just channel surfing after work, that is a good thing.
