Sky Movies a waste of money
|
Sky have now changed the format of their movie channels and in my opinion, Sky Movies can no longer be considered the same value for money that it once used to be. Maybe they thought that it was a clever move because it has allowed them to reduce the amount of movies they air, this may well reduce their costs and increase their profits, but I think that in the end it will eventually just lead to more cancellations from subscribers. |

With the number of repeats shown these days... Besides, with the huge number of repeats shown these days you would be better off raiding the bargain bin down at the supermarket. It made me laugh recently when they put on that old movie "The Karate Kid". How can they consider that to be a modern film? Come on Sky, let's have one or two blockbuster movies at least and a few less repeats! |

Maybe like some other large companies in the UK I could mention, they are simply out to rip off as many people as possible and have no idea of what good customer service is. I do hope not, but it certain feels like that and as a result, I decided to cancel my Sky movies subscription this morning. At the moment I am actually looking at a broadband TV provider in the US. They are offering me a better choice of programmes and features for the same money that I currently pay Sky. How can I refuse? If this service is any good I will of course spread the word and promote it on some of my own personal web sites. Why should we put up with the same old recycled movies again and again? Well we can vote with our feet and maybe, just maybe, someone at Sky will listen. By: The Will |

SKY is full of rubbish programming, too many repeats and way too much advertising and station breaks ....... BUT believe me Virgin Media is 10 times worse. I canceled Sky, went to Virgin and was shocked at how many awful channels they think people want to have - maybe 0.5 better than Freeview.. Within 1 month, I went running back to Sky - who re-connected me free of charge.

Remember, SKY = believe in better.
Perhaps if people voted with their feet and left this steaming pile of turd then it would HAVE to be better.

yes, I subscribe to Sky Movies, but certainly not for much longer. I look forward to the days of an adequate broadband speed which will allow me to view moves properly, without the somewhat 'jerky' motion that I currently have to put up with. Sky needs lots of healthy competition, and maybe then it will lower its ridiculous prices. I'm certainly well and truly fed up with the hefty fees I have to pay for the many 'repeat' movies.

I have just discovered that I have been charged for the last TWO years, for Pay per View, and have never ever put a pin number into my tv for any Pay per View, let alone 66 times in two years. Sky say their equipment is foolproof, so I must have watched these pay per views, but I know I have not done so, just wondering if anyone out there has any knowledge of how this fraud is done, otherwise I can kiss goodbye to the seven hundred quid they have helped themselves to from my bank account. I know I should have checked my invoices, but as I had a fixed amount on direct debit, I never thought to check. Any advice would be welcome.

actually there is more films than ever, they revamped the channels so all the premiers are on the same channel, you get 5 brand new movies every single week, and next friday another 5. its 20 brand new films a month, along with over 450 other films every month.

I've subscribed to Sky Movies for years and when I fancied a movie, I could find something to watch.... I'm not that fussy really and I really enjoyed a lot of the foreign language films that were shown - and I'd never have chosen them from a rental shop. But viewing has not been great in recent months. I thought it was perhaps just my taste and maybe there had been a spell of movie making that wasn't my cup of tea but it's getting ridiculous now. All they seem to be doing is showing old films. Hence, I thought I'd do a bit of surfing tonight to see if anyone else shared my thoughts ...that's how I found this page. Yes, I will be voting with my cash and ending my subscription.

Totally agree....just surfed the net for similar views before I go ahead and cancel the movie channel. Basically it's rubbish and not worth the increase.

hi, I have subscribed to sky a couple of times over the years and can't understand why I get to watch the same repeats that I watched six years earlier , I complained to customer services and they told me they repeat stuff all day long because people come in from work at different times and may want to watch the programme they missed a couple of hours earlier !! what a load of b-----k's .. its about time that sky and virgin gave us the service we deserve for the money we pay .. if everyone ditched these services and watched freeview channels they would soon do something about it !!!

Please people, you have to grasp the fact you live in a capitalist society. Companies such as sky exist with one sole objective, that is to make as much money as possible for their share holders and nothing else. Showing repeats reduces costs, showing more repeats reduces costs even more. This is one of many ways to increase profits. Charging for their products makes profit, charging more makes more profit. Customers are a neccesary evil sky must endure to make these profits but don't think for a minute they care what you thing. They want your money not your opinion.subscribing to their service finances your misfortune, basically your paying someone to shaft you and then whinging about it afterwards. You can only be a victim if you allow yourself to be a victim!

I don't know why anyone would want to pay for subscription TV when everything on Sky is, or will be, available on Freeview a short time later.

I have had the movie channels since christmas and we are approaching april and im still watching the same bloody movies
why would I pay £ 16 a month to watch 80% of movies that are on terestal tv , in my opinion it is a poor return and when trying to inform sky of thier poor service they are to coward to man a complants hotline
so sky from this not so happy custumer start looking a the movies your putting and change them quicker than what your corruntly doing

I totally agree with the view that sky are ripping customers off. how can they put high school musical on at midnight, how can they put rocky horror on sky screen 1? do they think that people arent awake after 11pm. the films after this time are rubbish.i love films, I watch them everday and have seen more than most people.i have just turned over to sky movies so called action, and surprise surprise Metro is on again. this film was rubbish when it came out,its one of eddie murphy's worst films yet it is always on. I would rather 48hrs its got more exciting action in it anyway. I am cancelling my sky as I have found loads of sites to stream movies, even the box office films.more people need to complain otherwise things wont change.my advice is to get a pc and download or stream your movies for free.when they realise what everyone is doing they will put down the prices and change the choices available. they know that at present themselves and virgin own the market.
