Epix, a new movie channel owned by three Hollywood studios, is talking with Dish Network Corp and other carriers to secure another distribution deal by early 2010. Epix was launched two months ago as
a joint venture of Paramount Pictures, Lions Gate Entertainment Corp and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc, with just one distribution partner, Verizon Communications Inc's FiOS TV service. To date, it's
available only to about 2.5 million households.
Epix also introduced a Web site at EpixHD.com that can be accessed only by Verizon FiOS subscribers, who log in with a special code.
The site has movie titles from the libraries of Epix's three studio parent companies, which users can watch and also invite friends to view remotely with them, from their own computers.
