With audacity and great wit, Billy Morrissette directs this comic adaptation of "Macbeth," set at a fast-food drive-through. Joe McBeth (James LeGros), frustrated by his failure to be promoted by his restaurateur boss, Norm Duncan (James Rebhorn), falls victim to blind ambition and the goading of his wife (Maura Tierney). All will not end well, as any English literature student knows. "Infectious - the puns, in-jokes and referential asides will keep Shakespeare buffs busy and the rest of the audience entertained." - "The Washington Post."

I did receive a phone call this morning from STARZ and they said that the listing for HDTV are under "STARZ."

I have looked high and low and do not see any specific reference to HDTV anywhere on their web site nor from doing a search on their web site. I am sure this is an oversight on my part and I ask those at STARZ who are our subscribers to please contact me again and lead me more patiently to your HDTV specific-section.

I suspect what is being said is that everything under the "STARZ" logo is HDTV whether stated anywhere or not, but I would like confirmation of this idea. If that is the case I believe that the following are in HDTV. All times Eastern.
