After looking at some other forums I can guesitmate that the price point will be approx £16 a month for sky movies in SD.

I've added Sky Movies for the kids just over Christmas. Does anyone know, if as with Sky, if any recordings will become scrambled after I unsubscribe when the month is up?

AFAIK any recordings will not playback when you stop subscribing.

In my humble opinion, it is a backwards step refocusing on linear channels - one of the reasons I subscribed to BT Vision was because it was on-demand. It has been quite some time since I watched 'live' TV.

The figures would suggest that I am in the minority though. Shame that BT had the foresight to launch an on-demand platform, then be forced through market demands to launch linear channels.

It looks like they are scaling back some of the on-demand channels as well unless you subscribe to the 'live' channel.

Um, linear channels was the goal from the start.

Multicasting via infinity was created for this purpose

On demand is Unicasting and is what causes "slow spots"

I assumed as much. Thanks for the reply.
