mvnyc Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 They have an HD channel, but I believe it's the SD signal upconverted to HD (but I could be wrong). I'll record the Pilot to see if that is the case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators James Posted December 30, 2014 Administrators Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I wonder how big of a fan Robert Rodriguez is of MV. A big enough fan to have Don Johnson in the From Dusk Till Dawn series, and air MV on his own channel.Perhaps Robert and Don should work together to bring it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvnyc Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 I checked the El Rey HD channel, it's not in true HD, just upconverted from SD, so if you have the non-HD channel, you're seeing (essentially) the same picture as the HD channel...

alleycat Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 That sucks its not offered here in canada that channel so no vice for me well I have the episodes on my laptop so I can watch that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Hanna Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Yes, he was in Machete also. And Django, but Django wasn't Robert Rodriguez. I know, that's why I said "Tarantino's Django unchained" xD I've heard quentin talk about MV too and if you watch interviews of him from the mid 90s, he wears Crockett's suit jackets over t shirt and stubble in like every single one. He must have been going through a vice phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James Posted January 2, 2015 Administrators Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Must've been the same Vice phase which started in 1984 I've seen recent photos of him where he still rocks the t-shirt and blazer look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny-Burnett Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Watched much of it today, and must say I was lukewarm on the episode selections, as it appears they were selected solely to showcase certain "celebrity guest stars" who had their early starts in Vice, rather than some of the more popular episodes out there.But did learn that they plan to Run Season 1 in its entirety Saturday and Sunday in sequence so that is a big plus.

Good point. The casual viewer is just going to look at the big names Bruce Willis, Liam Neeson, Chris Rock. Even though "No exit" is coincidentally one of the best episodes.

Missing hours not so much Think they were just showcasing these future 'stars' though I would not include Chris Rock in that category. The first four eps were good as was El Viejo, but the rest, IMO, wouldn't have made my selection for any one day marathon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvnyc Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 They've been airing them without any logos in the lower third corner, which is nice to see (for a change), however there is no closed captioning, FYI... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susanna Girl Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I watched a few of the episodes off and on, and it was really a lot of fun! I loved the way they "introduced" the series too, they made you want to watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
