After seeing the success of online TV, the movie companies want some internet TV action too.

The studios concerned including Lionsgate, Paramount and the mighty MGM are working on a currently beta Epix internet platform for showing movies. Currently in the planning stage, the project will include a TV station complete with sister internet site which will be free of charge.

Although its the kind of thing a cable company would supply and charge big bucks, it will reportedly be foc. On launch there will be a choice of literally hundreds of online movies to view on demand, including some blockbusters!

Even better the website is planned to be ad free. The only proviso is that the movies shown must have already been shown on free to air TV. But this includes literally hundreds of movies.

Also planned with the service is a HD quality of streaming and a social network feature. So you can chat with others about the movie your watching.

The project is still in a beta stage, and although it will be free initially it could become a paid for membership site. Yeah i thought it sounded too good to be true.

However looking on the bright side, a online movie website that is totally free (initially at least) and can compete with Hulu but is dedicated to films is a great development and a welcome addition to the online tv family.
