What is Sky Cinema
And how do I just upgrade to Sky Movies? I've just recently been discounted £5 from my broadband and £6.40 off tv package as I was going to cancel my service. Now am I able to get Sky movies if I want to. I don't want the Cinema one.

Subscribing to Sky Cinema gets you the movie channels (Sky Premiere etc) and the movies on demand service. |

Sky Cinema and Sky Movies are exactly the same thing - they just changed the name.

They are NOT the same thing - Sky Movies are the channels broadcast live and shown on the EPG channels 301 to 314.
Sky Movies no-longer exists as a brand name. The Sky Cinema pack provides exactly the same as the old Movies pack (the linear channels on 301-314, On Demand movies, 3D etc). There is one difference: HD is included at no extra cost. Box sets are not included with CInema (or the former Movies pack). |

Cinema is the exact same as movies but the main difference is there is a new premiere every day instead of a few on a Friday. |

The box sets are a tv package completely separate to cinema. Cinema is just an add on. If you want the box sets you need to ring sky to upgrade to that package. Might be an offer on right now for doing it. If there is not an offer ask about upgrading with the line rental offer if you have line rental with them.

Try looking in Sky Cinema - there are "Box sets" of movies which should be available on Sky Cinema pack. These are different to the Box Sets (of series) available to the "Box Set" pack. Confusing isn't it?

Pretty sure box sets and all the other genre tabs were available under Sky Movies, all that's changed is the name, its now called Sky Cinema.

They only want extra money now for sports in HD, but I agree that is an anachronism well over ten years after HD was launched.
Unfortunately as long as people will still pay the extra charge, they will keep charging for it! BT Sport is no different, HD costs extra there too. No-one, certainly not me, would now want to go back to watching sport only in SD, and they well know that!
