OH MY GOODNESS! My prayers have been answered, and it's called MONSTER
HD. http://www.monstershd.com/ .... I found it by luck on my
cablevision/optimum IO box at channel 777. These are all the old B rated,
horror and sci-fi flicks that I'd much rather be seeing than the god awful
Sat night sci-fi - crappolla - Baldin brother of the week junk. Plus it's
all in HD to boot commercial free!
Do you folks get this on your cable box? My questions are, how in the
world are we getting this for free? No commercials or adverts at all so far!
How trhe heck are they able to provide all this older stuff in HD? It Came
From Beneath the Sea..... Mysterious Island.... 3 versions in a row of The
Invasion Of The Body Snatchers..... Creepshow.... 24/7... this is what the
sci-fi channel should have been doing instead of wrestling.

put over 100 new HD channels on the lineup by next spring. About 50 to
70 before the end of this year. The reason there's no commercials is
that Voom is subscription and Comcast, Cox, whoever is your provider is
picking up the tab to beef up their HD content. Don't expect it to last
forever. Once they've established retention of subscribers and get
other content up, it'll be dropped or moved to a higher, fee based, tier
of service.

I now picture a naked extraterrestrial, six arms, scaly,
slightly green, insectoid features... nah, it's not doing
anything for me at all.

You're answering a post that must be over a year old? We've since
switched to FIOS, and I think it's gone now anyway. When they first started
up, it was great. Then it became reruns of slasher flicks.

I'm certain that my percent of stargate newsgroup posts that discuss stargate
episodes or possible future stargate events is greater than that!

You forgot to include the percentage of

Weighing Our Galaxy

How do you measure a galaxy you're stuck in the middle of? You can't exactly,
but you can get some pretty good estimates. Astrophysicists used a large sample
of data from stars in the galactic halo to calculate that the Milky Way, earth's
own galaxy, weighs slightly less than 1 trillion solar masses. Since a solar
mass is equal to the mass of the sun, our galaxy weights about 1 trillion times
as much as the sun.
