IFC in Theaters begins day-and-date HD video on-demand screening this month

IFC in Theaters has been offering day-and-date premieres of independent theatrical flicks through video on-demand for a couple of years, but now comes word that this month it will begin offering them in high definition on Cablevision and Comcast. Starting June 17, $7.99 (a buck premium over SD) will be the price for avoiding a trip to the local art house theater, which sounds more than worth it if you don't have one nearby, or just really want to avoid (other) hipsters.

Sign me up! Oh wait, I don't have Comcast or Cablevision. Well, I do have Comcast, but never watch it. It's just for internet. Maybe I should rent an HD box......

Assuming a few of these are things I want to watch, there may be enough coming down the pipe:

"We're going to release four new day-and-date HD titles monthly and at any given time you can select as many as eight to 10 a month."
