An HD digital delivery service online that will bring you feature films and original series content has launched its Private Beta Online today.
ePiX is a service brought to you via Studio3 Partners which has agreements for films from the vaults of Viacom, Paramount, MGM and Lionsgate. Free content will be available to subscribers as well as premium content for new releases.
No deals set for cable or satelite distribution which would be in the form of an “On Demand” service. The Online service was always a part of the deal, and the delays on cable/sat side could just mean cable companies trying to get better terms to carry the service as part of their packages.
As this moves forward online, hopefully we will see major provider distribution on board as well as other studios getting on with it too.
Is this a service you could see yourself using? Will it eventually drive the DVD rental places out of business or simply offer competition?
