Cancelling Sky Movies?

I don't really get the time to watch many of the films, I added it over Christmas whilst I was off work and it's been there ever since! No point paying for it now as I only use it now and then so I'm getting rid.

However, if I cancel it will it still let me watch any films that I previously recorded and still haven't watched on my Sky+HD box? I recorded the films when I was paying for them, but if I tried to watch them after I cancel, will it tell me that I don't have the right package like it would if I was trying to watch them on Anytime without the movies subscription?

I could transfer them onto my DVD recorder before I cancel to watch later, but I'll be losing the lovely shiny HDness if I do that!

    Your subscription is checked when you try to watch them - not when you record them. So, if you cancel, you won't be able to watch any of the movies that you have recorded unless you resubscribe to Sky Movies.

    Cheers

    That's a blow! I'll just have to record the films that I actually want to see onto my DVD recorder before cancelling, and will just have to cope with having them downscaled back to standard def.

    I cancelled my Sky Movies about 2 or 3 months ago and ever since then around 60% of my Sky Anytime planner has been movies - I am convinced they have done this on purpose to tempt me back.

    Anyway it worked last night when I finally caved in and resubscribed again to watch Die Hard 4 because there was absolutely nothing else on any other channels.

    Needless to say despite it being a pretty poor film I enjoyed it slightly more because it has just cost me 16 quid, like that bottle of Barolo you have at the end of a cheap night out.

    Way back in the mists I used to subscribe to movies just over xmas, I'd record a dozen or so movies on SKY+ on the run up and then once subscribed I could watch them, others I would dump to VHS (yes it was that long ago) and then after the 1 month cancel.
    Around 30 unseen movies for 1 months sub which a the time was probably about £6 extra:)

    If you rent or go to the cinema a lot SKY movies is not great value but if you don't then depending upon what your other subscription package is it can be incredibley good value. I've got 5 HD movies on my planner and another 5 in AnytimeHD, the package works for me:)
