CANADA

In 1995, Long Shong created its Canadian division. It is currently the only distributor of Chinese films across Canada.

In October 2009, Long Shong launched its movie channel, LS Times TV, on Rogers Cable channel 819. On Sep 15, 2010, LS Times launched on Shaw Cable channel 199.

LS Times' programming focuses on current feature films from Hong Kong with a mix of popular movies from China, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and other Asian countries. All films are aired in original language with Chinese subtitles.

for the time being, it's free until january 16th, 2011

to subscribe to it after the free trial, you must already have the fairchild package and then pay an additional $2.95/month

Dont think so yet...

[StylinRed]

OMG PRINCE OF TEMPLE STREET!!!! MY FAV

[CorneringArtist]

I don't know Chinese, but a lot of the subbed HK movies I've watched were better than Western movies.

Even if I don't really understand, this is a good find.

[ToneCapone]

Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

Most of those movies are not filmed with an HD camera so no.
I doubt anybody is going to up-convert them and even if they do the quality will still be poor.

[Psb1]

unless the movies are subtitled 90% of vancouver population won't be able to understand dialogue
the only chinese movies westerners watch are ones with jackie chan like rumble in da bronx

[StylinRed]

it doesnt need to be filmed with an hd camera... most movies still aren't filmed with such a camera they're filmed with Film :P

they can turn them into HD

the only problem with HK film stock is that they were stored HORRIBLY so old movies say on Blu-Ray tend to look like shit unless they invested a lot of $$$
+ the demand isnt really there

[flagella]

fuck this is awesome

黑社會2 is on TV
i think its "election" in english

who's the director and who are the actors? Seems like there are many movies named black society

[flagella]

Edit: ignore. double post.

anybody watchin right now?

this shit is epic

[Fafine]

ynd never gets out

[trippy]

^
What movie was that?

election 2

[DanHibiki]

Fairchild needs to catch up to the times and come out with HD already. The shows they show are recorded in HD back in HK so there's no excuse not to have it here.

My parents mainly watch Fairchild so it's kinad putting the HDTV to waste.

[Fafine]

election two should be on now

[StylinRed]

y&d was on

and yeah fairchild/talent really need to upgrade to HD

[shawn79]

Hahaah ynd
"Pek yao" chop chop chop

Lol you expect a Chinese run company to upgrade their shit when they don't have to and there are virtually no competition? U serious?

[SlySi]

If Fairchild was in HD and Standard Def.
They would have more subscribers.
Most, including myself would pay a premium for that service.

Its only a matter of time when they will move to HD.

[nosaj]

i think fairchild is still running on tapes with almost all of their shows from tvb....and its gonna cost them a fortune to upgrade everything....and knowing how cheap fairchild is...thats gonna take like another 5-10yrs lol

my friend works at this new ls channel, and he told me that they will start showing newer movies this week...most of them are more recent...like after 2000.

he was also telling me that their channel is hd ready and right now they are just on sd. they will (or might? dont remember) get the movies in blu-ray soon

[Bobobibi]

LOL pps ftw =]

[Grandmaster TSE]

the movie on right now is hilarious

has eric tsang and dicky cheung, great comedic stuff

[PiuYi]

how come theres no sound coming out on my TV? anyone else hav this problem?

[TOS'd]

^ just had that for all channels too, all i did was turn off box. then turned it back on and i had sound. dunno why though. works now.

[twitchyzero]

he was also telling me that their channel is hd ready and right now they are just on sd. they will (or might? dont remember) get the movies in blu-ray soon

a very stupid question, but is it possible to get this channel alone without basic cable? if they get it in HD im willing to get it standalone!

[PiuYi]

^ just had that for all channels too, all i did was turn off box. then turned it back on and i had sound. dunno why though. works now.

nono mine's JUST for that channel, sound on all other channels.... its been like that since it started.... :(

[StylinRed]

mine shut off and disconnected repeatedly (internet too) at around 1:30-2:00

[Greenstoner]

are there Chinese subs for these movie ?

[MikeyStyle]

a very stupid question, but is it possible to get this channel alone without basic cable? if they get it in HD im willing to get it standalone!
unfortunately with any cable subscription, you must get basic cable as well

[bbbj]

Seriously need to upgrade to HD... HD Jade channel in hk looks so much better.. the only bad thing is that the HD makes the ugly chicks uglier, and some of the chicks that you thought were decent before look worse.

[dachinesedude]

FUCKING TELUS OPTIC TV!

i want this channel badly

[Bender Unit]

Double the Fuck TELUS OPTIC TV

[Ikkaku]

damn there are a select few movies they keep repeating (like 5x)

[ae101]

theres japanese movie coming out this week (i duno when)

a few days ago i saw micheal ho (from the bmw store) give his congrads to LS tv on tv & he was standing behind a RR phantom (it's the one that there trying to get rid of in there show room)

[double0seven]

damn there are a select few movies they keep repeating (like 5x)

Its cause they play stuff 24/7 so they cant always have new stuff.

[Ikkaku]

yeah i know but it's weird watching the same movie 2 - 3 times a day

ie. wong cho lam and chapman to's movie - la comedie humaine

[StylinRed]

There's a movie on i barely remember right now with Tony Leung and Jordan Chan (gangster film) about Hung Hing lol

[norph]

watching that right now lol

[shawn79]

ynd

[StylinRed]

ynd

[MikeyStyle]

technical support is open 24 hours and they'll be able to add that channel to your account

[StylinRed]

[Gesus]

^ took me 5 minute last night :)! i think its faster at night. when i called during day time,took me nearly half an hour

[kyoshiro]

cant you order the channel through the digital box? :(

[MikeyStyle]

Unfortunately you can't
Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

[trip]

the code for the channel package has to be added to the account and posted, has to be manually done

[kyoshiro]

ah ok, i'll see if my mom wants it when she comes back, not too bad pricing at least
i think fairchild tv is more expensive yea?

[bbbj]

^ i think fairchild is hella expensive like 30$ a month?

[tonyzoomzoom]

fairchild package is $7/month on Shaw

[kyoshiro]

mmm you guys think they will jack the price up for the channel later to fairchild like prices?
if they will i'll get it added on monday i guess just so that i can say I was told that i keep that price.
