Yes TCM has always been one of the favourite channels in our household.

TCM HD and Film4 HD in the XL package certainly makes it more attractive to movie fans. If you can't afford SKY Movies, having access to 2 dedicated HD movie channels in your package is great value.

Yup, I can't justify spending the money required for Sky Movies when I could join Lovefilm/Blockbuster(!?)/Netflix for half the cost. I am really looking forward to seeing TCM movies in HD. In particular the rather underrated (in my eyes) Dark City. :)

Who cares what they say? VM's total package is the best service for me by a long chalk. People should focus on total package requirements and equipment functionality rather than just isolate one aspect of a service to fight over. For someone else, Sky's overall package will be the best for them.

I agree with that 100% , I also like hearing people on other platforms opinions and views on things , a forum would be a pretty boring place if everybody agreed and had the same thoughts.

Agreed. It's just a shame we get the 'Mine's bigger than yours' brigade polluting the discussion; i.e., the ones who wouldn't know a ballanced view if it smacked them over the head!

Before joining SKY recently I didn't have SKY Movies. TiVo was a great tool for finding movies from various channels in HD. Channel 4 and Channel 5 over the weekend offer up some really good movies. Sy-fy HD also offered up the odd hidden gem. At one point I had around 90 HD movies stored on my TiVo box.

Couldn't agree more.

Whilst I enjoy a wider range of channels with SKY I do miss TiVo and the broadband speeds from Virgin. Oh and paying £10.00 per month for ESPN ain't too much fun either but I do get ESPN America in HD.

I know how to have a balanced view and I can at least say I've seen both sides of the fence, how many people who worship all that VM do can say that? So I think my view is more balanced than most, head is not hurting.

Indeed they are, but I am hoping someone will save them (hence the exclaimation mark and question mark):( I have been resisting the urge to join an on-line rental shop because I like having a browse through the shops, in case I see something I had not seen in a long and had forgotten about. It's not quite the same online:(

Some good programming in that list Media Boy. Really good news for Virgin and Freeview customers that some Atlantic programming is being cascaded down.
