Encore to Make HD Debut in July

Encore HD will launch this July, parent company Starz announced this morning. Showcasing movies such as Cars, Click, Talladega Nights, Gone in Sixty Seconds and Remember the Titans, Encore HD will be the Starz group's sixth linear HD movie channel. Previously, Encore had been available in high-def only as an on demand offering with Comcast, although a linear Encore HD was briefly available on the old VOOM satellite system three to four years ago.
