Why would you put Movies in a TV section?

I hope they dont add anymore as the speed is unbeariable.It just taken 30secs to display the first page and 15 secs for each page down.Its just not worth using as it is at the moment.

My TiVo isn't that slow, about 3 seconds to get into the movies and about 1.5 seconds per page. :)

Going forward I'd like the movies to be split into genres. 1 folder for comdey, 1 folder for horrer etc...

I think he's using TIVO

I'm sure it's mentioned in one of the press releases however do M+ customer with SKY Movies get access to these films too? Seeing L & XL customers are the only ones who can access the SKY anytime TV content, I suppose it makes sense to put the movies elsewhere for the benefit of M+ customers.

I hope the above make sense

Yes I thought (although I'm not 100% sure) that the Sky Anytime Movies were available to everyone with a Movies subscription now anyway which is why it's seperated out?

The content restricted to XL is the TV Choice stuff (as it's in TV Choice XL)

Yeah, I tried to explain that in a backward way. You've summed it up much better:D

The recent drop in price of Sky Movies Collection makes it more attractive now too. :)

Yeah got to agree. £19.50 per month for 11 SKY Movie channel plus Cinemagic is good value, especially with the arrival of SKY Anytime.

You'd struggle to rent more than 6 DVD's in a month for less than £19.50 in most highstreet Video shops.

At Lovefilm you'll pay £8.16 for 4 movie rentals in a month. Even if you take out the unlimited package for £19.39, and I'm talking as an ex-customer of Lovefilm, you'll be lucky to get more than 20 rentals over the period of a month.

It cost me £26.00 to take my Mrs. to the cinema about 4 months ago to watch a movie in 3D, and that was before popcorn, juice and the cost of my petrol.

If you are a fan of movies, and can wait between 6 and 8 months to see the newest releases, SKY Movies and SKY Anytime on Virgin is a total bargain!

This makes me want to resub to Sky movies but the quality of SD Sky Movies is horrible and then when you add the £7 HD charge on top it then makes it an unattractive price.

£26.50 is still a decent price for what your getting, however I fully agree that this might be too much for some people just to watch movies.

The SD Anytime content is pretty good quality imho , however I agree Sky movies isn't great.
