deckard24 said:I would think sometime soon. But, I have barely ever seen the original three films on cable, except during the months leading up to KOTCS's release, so who knows?
On another note, my local Blockbuster had copies of Skull in their $3.99 bin, if that's any consolation. You can go check out the stores by you, and pick up a copy, for what might be the cheapest I've ever seen an Indy film go for (granted they are previously viewed copies).
indyclone25 said:just wondering ----just as the same as when star wars is on tv and i still end up watching it --- it just means that it will be on cable and on at least 20 hours a week - so if im flipping thru the stations and i see it on i'll just watch it --
I gotta admit I was a little shocked to see it in the $3.99 bargain bin. Not even The Eye with Jessica Alba was in that bin, it was out on the floor displays with the 4 for $20 movies.ResidentAlien said:I've seen new copies for $10 already. ...not that I'd grab it even at that price.

Forbidden Eye said:As for cable tv, I think its because Lucas is really protective of his films, in a similar way Disney is. Your rarely see Star Wars or Indiana Jones films on tv the same way they constantly reair Men In Black or Spider-Man.

Rocket Surgeon said:Service Gears Up For Multiplatform Rollout In October
by Mike Reynolds -- Multichannel News, 8/3/2009 2:00:00 AM EDT
Epix, the joint venture movie service from Paramount, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Lionsgate, snagged its first affiliate pact, landing a multiplatform rollout with Verizon Communications' FiOS TV.
The deal will place Epix, which offers unedited, commercial-free films, on FiOS's TV lineup as both a standard- and high-definition channel, via FiOS Internet, as well as through delivery on wireless devices and on the telco's on-demand platform.
The parties have not disclosed a firm launch date, other than to say it will be in early October. It was also unclear as to exactly where the network will be positioned. Epix president Mark Greenberg, who would not discuss license fees, said FiOS was working through the distribution channels, noting the “best incentive” calls for the service to be located on a widely penetrated digital tier. Verizon officials said it had not yet decided on channel positioning.
Verizon customers, though, in September will begin receiving on-demand and online access to directors' script notes, outtakes, auditions and other unique extras, said Greenberg.
Epix's lineup includes Paramount's release of Lucasfilm's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
