MGM HD launched in October 2007 via DirecTV. Another deal with Verizon FIOS is expected to be done later this year. MGM HD offers 5 HD channel services and is usually included in an HD-tier package from the cable and satellite providers. The new HD service offers a back catalog of 4,100 films all broadcast in 1080i HD - a rarity in HD movie service. Comcast is a 20 percent owner in MGM and will offer MGM HD via both their linear service and video-on-demand. MGM's move into the HD market will help to push other distributators to start HD networks of their own. Quality content in high-definition is still sorely lacking in today's market. But with five new 24/7 HD movie channels, movie aficionados will have more quality movie chocies.
