The thing is with these channels (just like UKTV) the schedules barely vary.
Its repeat box sets all day
A few examples
Two and a Half Men (available unedited in HD on Amazon Prime with no ad break)
Friends (available unedited in HD on Netflix with no ad break)

Last year everyone was kicking off because they couldn't watch repeat of Top Gear and Only Fools and Horses.

Look back ten years and GOLD was showing the exact same schedule day in day out (and still does practically to this day)

That aside the picture quality on the 5Star, 5 Spike channels etc is awful and worse than VHS imho

Paramount in HD as an exclusive was a good move, maybe they will up the deal for more HD but I doubt it.
