i said that it shows uncensored movies and i am happy that people do not want it but i never said its useless. it airs nice documentaries and travel shows too . i lured people that it aired sdult content and was happy that most did not want that

Yes, bcoz members are smart enough. Human feelings can't be reliable on DTH Operators. They need to be fulfilled where it is available.

What kind of documentaries are termed as nice. Can you pls name any such documentary in existing channels of Tata Sky . We seriously would like to know your taste .

It's the plot-twist staple that has kept the Terminator franchise going since 1984: just when you think it's dead, suddenly it flickers back into life ready to wreak more havoc. And the same is true of the rights to the story itself, which will shortly change hands once again and most likely trigger production of a fifth Terminator film. The current owner of the franchise, the Halcyon Holding Group, is planning to auction the Terminator this month after it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in August 2009.

The financial history of the Terminator series has almost as many twists as the movies themselves. Each instalment in the series was made by a different company after a corporate acquisition of intellectual rights. The first film was made by James Cameron in 1984 for pioneering independent outfit Hemdale (after Cameron notoriously sold his half-share to producer Gale Ann Hurd for $1, or about £0.60), but the company began to struggle financially in the late 1980s and sold its half-share for $10m in 1990 to Carolco, a company owned by producers Mario Kassar and Andrew Vajna, who had struck pay-dirt with the Rambo films. Carolco immediately rehired Cameron and spent a then-record $102m on making the sequel – which, setting a pattern for Cameron's future career, turned out to be a solid investment, as T2 delivered a worldwide gross of $519.8m.
What nobody expected was that Carolco would itself then run into financial trouble in the mid-90s, wrecked by the fiascos that were Cutthroat Island and Showgirls. The rights were again sold off before Kassar and Vajna set up a new entity called C2 and reacquired all of the Terminator rights for $15m in 1997. C2 set up Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and released it in 2003 – but without Cameron in the director's chair it was only a modest success, scoring $433.3m worldwide against a $200m budget.
C2 sold the rights again, to Halcyon, in 2007 for $25m and the new owners immediately went into production on Terminator Salvation. Again, Cameron was not involved, with directing duties handed to McG. Although the film was critically lambasted, it performed reasonably well at the box office, earning $372m worldwide – considerably less, however, than the previous instalment.
When the identity of the new owners of the Terminator becomes clear, there is a good chance it won't be one of the major studios, who have never managed to get complete control of the rights. The current favourites – the "stalking horse" bidders – are Lionsgate, the Canadian company who, ironically, now own parts of Carolco that were sold off in the 1990s when it began to founder. And the price it goes for will interest the film industry: Halcyon, it is rumoured, wants $60m (£37m), similar to the amount Nickleodeon paid for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in October 2009.

its clear Terminator rights are being held by diff companies

that is what i told u

 

[IndianMascot]

its an awesome international music channel , better than vh1

So how can an non-hindustani channel be awesome ?? at one side you criticize Indian Language channels and on the other side advertise foreign channels ?? What's the scene dude ?? Are you not an Indian ??

 

[IndianMascot]

Satellite rights are for a fixed period. They can't be hold for unlimited period. That's the reason movies keep changing channels.

Recent example is " Avatar " . Its satellite rights are with Star Movies but they deal it to Movies Now to earn extra profit.

Similarly watching a Dubbed South Indian Content doesn't spoil ROIndians mood and people love it.

 

[bhaskarkilli]

Infact there isn't a single Hindi Movie channel which doesn't show dubbed South Indian Movies . Why ?? Bcoz people love to watch it. Every channel is operating for profit. So they air those contents which are profitable for their channel.

FB,Twitter or any other social website wont tell which channel is good and which channel is bad in terms of business prospects.Only the count of Subscribers tells which is loss and which is profit.
