    Movie Network have always been demented in their watermarking which is why I prefer the Showtime package over Movie Network any day.

    The worst new watermark has to be the 13th Street one which is just so distracting I can't watch anything on that channel.

    OMG, only a short while after I complain about the 13th Street watermark they go and change it!
    Thanks for listening Foxtel but the new one isn't exactly better, it might not be as wide but now it's twice as high. Surely the graphic design team can come up with something less noticeable.

    What's the Watermarks like on Starpics 1 and 2?
    Are they different on HD?

    Do Showtime Movies new offerings have watermarks?

    I don't get connected until Friday.

    The Showtime's are all watermark-free. Starpics and FMC have a small watermark on the bottom left, within 4x3 safe zone

    Identical, but you get to see a crisper version of the watermark in HD ;-)

    No. There is a level of sanity at Showtime Australia unlike the clueless clowns at Movie Network. No watermarks at all on any Showtime Australia channels, however for the Movie Network channels only Movie One and Movie One HD don't have a watermark.
    The Movie Network package is really poor value compared to Showtime. Having a Starpics 2 let alone a Starpics 2 HD channel is utterly moronic. Plus it looks like very little if anything on the Movie Network packages has DD 5.1 audio (it's only DD 2.0 at best).
