传统好莱坞巨头们进军网络又有了新举措，派拉蒙、米高梅和狮门影业三家公司正在准备一家新网站epixHD.com，准备用高质量的正版影片与风头正劲的Hulu和YouTube进行竞争。
epixHD原本是派拉蒙、米高梅和狮门共同筹划的付费电影频道和VOD视频点播服务，目标是对抗时代华纳旗下的HBO和CBS旗下的 Showtime，该频道预计将在10月份开播。不过，三家公司还有更时髦的想法，将电影频道中的影片搬到网上，只要是epixHD频道的付费订户即可随时打开浏览器观看影片。
epixHD聘请了原AOL高管EmilRensing作为公司的“首席数码官”，主管在线视频网站业务。epixHD.com目前已经开始内部测试，预计10月前就会正式上线，随后几个月内即可将派拉蒙、米高梅和狮门的大批影片和第一手电视节目内容上传至服务器。
依靠和电影公司的亲密关系，epixHD除了提供高清影片外还会拥有其他优势，比如在观看影片同时提供剧情梗概、演员表、相关花絮、预告片等。另外，该网站还提供一项独特的“共享功能”，付费订阅用户在观看影片时，可邀请最多四位好友（非epixHD订户）免费观看该片。

Someone (http://digg.com/d3tFZy) found an ester egg in the frontpage of it:So I visited epixhd.com (http://www.epixhd.com/) to see if they had any more information, or possible interface examples. Nothing, just a big logo. I decided to dig a little deeper with hopes of finding some sort of secret login. I viewed the page source and found a binary code, translated it, and you can probably tell what happened next.Go to epixhd.com (http://epixhd.com/), right click, view source, copy the binary code.
