It's a miracle. For once I will not be working. I will be looking forward to this all week. Thank you so much for posting this.

Which HBO is this? (There's about 6 or 7 different HBO channels) I checked my TV Guide and the Basic HBO channel did NOT list "The Boundary"
Instead, there was some movie from 8:30 to 11:00pm called "P.S. I Love You" on.
Julius Onah emailed me with more information about the broadcast. (Thanks!) The film will premiere on HBO Zone on February 5 at 9/8c, followed by several additional airings over the next month. See the full list at
HBO.

I found it, and my TiVo is fired up and ready. Thanks so much for the heads-up -- I never would have known about it if it weren't for you!!

My Tivo didn't find it.

What channel is it on Direct Tv? It says P.S. I love you. Help!

I found it-it's HBOZ(HBO ZONE)
My newspaper lists several HBO's whereas the TV GUIDE only lists the Basic HBO
Now I can rest easy and set my VCR for the show

what channel number is it on Directtv? It doesn't have it listed on any of the 5 HBO's that I have.

I don't know-I have Optimum cable, not Direct TV so I don't know how their channels are coordinated with the numbers

Thanks. Maybe it'll come on regular HBO someday.
Julius also found out that it will be available on HBO On Demand until March 1.

Oh well. Another thing I don't have. I have the old Directtv service without the bells and whistles.

Then Forget Direct TV-there's gotta be another cable company in your area that has all the good channels

I saw it yesterday-It was AWESOME!
The little girl with the video game was so cute. She didn't want to get off because she was trying to break a record. Reminds me of my daughter with the Nintendo DS
I won't say what actually happens for those who didn't see it yet but Sid was Great in it!

Thanks for that charmedgirl. I wonder if anyone else has seen it?

I'd set my TiVo and it recorded something it said was "The Boundary".... but it was something totally different. Something about a black family from the south, a guitar player... I didn't watch the whole thing, because after the first five minutes or so, I suspected it wasn't what I thought it was. It was on a station called HBOZ, too, at the right date and time. Did this happen to anyone else?
I found two other times it's scheduled, on Feb. 14th, so I'll try again.

It's a short film - about 13 minutes, I think - so it might be bundled with another short.

Ah, but how much does it cost in comparison is the question, and does it indeed have all the good channels?

Well, I saw it!
Very powerful. Very disturbing. I totally forgot to squee; I was too caught up in it and too upset by it.
Sid was amazing. It would be easy to overact a role like that, to be too broad. But Sid was nuanced, subtle, yet so so strong. An everyman caught in a nightmare. Even at the end, when you see the evidence of his traumatic ordeal, it was so beautifully done.
The whole thing was really excellent quality. The writing, the directing and the acting all around. Has there been critical feedback on this? I hope it gets nomimated for the shorts category.
I'm keeping it to see it again. In a while. It's too much to see again immediately.
Wow.

For those of us who aren't lucky enough to have HBO, does anyone know if this will be released in some other fashion? I'd love to see this!
