Thanks for the heads up. I checked out Showtime and Epix both On-Demand and the Contour website. Neither was available live, as you said. I noticed FF was available, though really not necessary since there aren't any commercials. Hallmark was available too, but it's not my thing, I didn't find Sony and I didn't even look for Game Show Network. How long is the freebie?
The only real impact of no access to "live" programming for those channels is that recording isn't possible. We should probably stockpile recorded movies now, when we can, since some regular TV seasons will probably end early because taping was suspended due to COVID-19. And, the MLB season is going to be significantly delayed, possibly cancelled. Does anyone have any good movie recommendations on those channels? I watched "Overlord" (2018) on Epix last night. In my opinion, that was a long way to go for not much. So, don't bother with that one.
