I'm about to move into an area with Cable television, and would like some advice about which "movie" channel to get. I currently live in an area without cable, and subscribe to an over-the-air service (SelectTV) which fortunately is NOT one of the choices. What is the difference between HBO and Cinemax? Is one "better" than the other, or what does one offer that the other doesn't? -- roger long pertec computer corp {ucbvax!unisoft | scgvaxd | trwrb | felix}!pertec!bytebug

I generally prefer Cinemax (they are owned by Time-Life just like HBO). Cinemax runs "first run" films just like HBO, but also runs more older "classic" films than the "middle of the road" HBO... --Lauren--
