Also I have a question (better to post it in here rather than making a new post).

As Disney Cinemagic is closing and being replaced with Sky Movies Disney, does this mean the schedule will be made by Sky or will the schedule still be made by Disney?

I don't know about online but if you buy the Radio Times Sky Movies Disney is listed in there hope this helps from David Heath

As it is a Sky Movies channel, they will most likely will be made by Sky similar to the 007 channel

Is it just me or are we losing a movie channel? The list above has 12 and I am sure we have 13 at present (11 Sky, 1 MGM and 1 Disney, not including +1)?

At least we're not losing any films, they'll just be on different channels.

Unlike the closure of BBC HD today, which means many non BBC One/Two programmes won't be available in HD any more!!

But it gives less choice of what you can watch at any particular time.

I agree that the BBC move is a backward step.

But just about every film is in the on demand library.

We check the new premieres on Showcase every Friday morning with IMDB. Any that score well and/or take our fancy get copied to the planner, so we always have a supply of movies to watch without ever using the linear channels.

Sky Classics is going. That really annoys me because it's my favourite film channel. It seems that hardly anyone is interested in older films anymore. There are vast numbers of films from the '30s, 40s, 50s and '60s which are never seen now. You'd think there would be room for a vintage film channel out of so many other film channels from Sky and others.

The classics movies will be on Sky Movies Greats and on the other genre specific channels, Sky Comedy, Sky Drama etc.

Thank you. Of course, the only problem with that is that I used to be able to scan the Classics schedule to see what i wanted to see but now I have to scan every film channel!

Ben_Freeman · 26/03/13 - 18:36

Thanks for posting the listings

And now we have only 8 channels per EPG page this takes twice as long as it used to when there were 11 (just enough for all the sky movies channels).

Twice as long eh?! Must have missed the memo that 8x2=11.

And to be fair I also pretty much only use the On Demand service to watch movies (on one of my boxes, the other doesn't have a Wi-Fi box attached) but that is not the point, according to Sky's adverts we are getting a new movie channel showcasing the best of Disney when we are in reality getting a rebrand of an existing Disney channel and the removal of a Sky branded channel.

I know several people who don't use On Demand due to data limits on broadband.

Additionally I can now download programmes to my PC for a small charge, wait a minute I used to be able to do that for free.

None of these individually are big issues but all these little issues are beginning to stack up and I am beginning to feel a little fleeced.

Yes twice as long. You must have also missed the memo that 1 page + 1 page = 2 pages.

Ahhh...yes, but that would only be true if you had to read all the entries on both pages

Certainly seems as though they will be phasing the content in.

On both the section for the channel on the Sky movies website and the mobile app there is no mention of titles such as the Toy Story trilogy and The Incredibles.

Cars, Brave, The Lion King and something else I fail to recall have al downloaded but remain invisible on my hd box all with the channel displayed as Sky Movies Disney. I found this out Using ExPvr today as I was looking at upgrading the hard drive.

it would suggest that they are putting good content on from the start. Well who doesn't like The Lion King?

Has anyone actually got sky Disney on their epg yet?
