Channel Lineup:
On Demand Content
Looks like they started the On Demand preview early. It’s on now (3/28/2014)
Concerning the “Free On Demand Marathon”; Does this include ALL on demand movies or just ones on certain premium channels? Your promotion is not very clear on this issue.
Here’s a link about the Marathon from Verizon’s website: http://www.verizon.com/home/MLP/ondemandmarathon.html?CMP=DMC-CVD_Q2_ZZ_Z_DO_N_X00016 .
Are New Releases included? They don’t appear to be.
Not much to choose from that are worth it. No new releases.
The best stuff can be found by going to On Demand>Free Marathon and then selected Max, Epix, HBO and Starz. There is a decent selection of semi-new movies and series.
Is Showtime not included?
In my area, Dutchess County NY, Starz is only offering their series through the “Free Marathon” portal. But go through the regular “Premium Channels” portal and Starz has their full on demand menu available. Sneaky.
