Repeats on Sky Movies all the time

Sky Movies a waste of money

Cancelling my subscription

With the huge number of repeats on Sky Movies 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".



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. Anyone else fed up with all the repeats?

18-11-2007If you try to get rid of sky movies they will offer you all sorts of deals to keep you, but if you ask if they have offers available to make it worthwhile to subscribe you get somebody who can not speak english asking you to confirm your details repeatedly, they then inform you that unless you have ...moreturtle5

23-7-2007What you lot don't seem to realise is that Sky are trying to pull the wool over viewers eyes by making it LOOK LIKE they have loads to offer by having half a dozen or so movie channels to try and justify a £40 quid direct debit charge. They do this by repeating all their tat' round and ...moreSpareUsTheLies

01-6-2007Family and friends all totally fed up with the new film set up. Premier 2 channels show the same film for one week, and the rest seem to be showing old films which can be viewed on free view or terrestrial channels. Classic films, are on TCM or most afternoons on BBC, modern classic means old film...moreAnon

24-5-2007The new Sky TV movies format is quite frankly an insult to suscribers. The majority of the movies are between 10 & twenty years old and too many are dull B-movies, Why the family movie channels is still showing childrens films after 11pm is beyond me. It has also not escaped my attention that ...moreJohn
07-5-2007Pay-per-view is the only way. If you don't want to watch it don't pay for it up front. All these subscription based movie channels are nothing but a rip-off. They project movies which are "old", and have done their cinema days. They have also all probably had their first full price...moreFree up the Skies
