Entertainment Extra + , just felt we weren't getting value for money from the Sky premium channels.

Ive been thinking about doing same thing but for Sky Movies instead and using something like Now TV. If i did the thing i would miss the most would be downloading films from Sky Go Extra

Last year when I still had Virgin Media I cancelled SKY Movies and SKY HD. With the money saved I bought myself a year pass for Cineworld which cost me £15.90 per month. My wife also bought one. We live very close to the cinema so for us it was great value. Plenty of cheap nights out watching the very latest movies. A much better experience than sitting watching movies at home.

Ive got a Cineworld pass and go at least twice a month but sometimes its nice to just stick a movie on from STB

Sky phoned me up yesterday and gave me Broadband free for 12 months and a 2TB HD box, for free!

Happy days.

The Android Sky+ app now includes the clash management feature the iOS app has had for sometime it also includes the social features through Sky's investment in Zeebox.

The red prompt now says 'highlights' has it always said that ? Pressing 'I' now allows you to check team lineups , team news , league , scores etc has it always had this maybe I just haven't noticed.

Didnt used to be like that, it used to be just a red button. It looks more HD like now as well IMO
