To be fair I'm not sure there's that many Sky users who still use the Sky Cinema app its all available on Sky Go these days. It would not shock me if Sky discontinued it.

never really understood why sky wanted all these separate apps. i wonder if sky sports will follow suit? but then again they claim they provide news in the app as well...which ive always not really been a fan of. id rather just go to bbc sport

I've had a look at the Pluto app on the V6 but it doesnt seem to have the 4K channel which is on the Pluto app on the Nvidea Shield.

Is that not a US exclusive channel?

Probably a sign of things to come with the advent of music videos on YouTube and Amazon Music Unlimited among others.

The picture quality is poor and ad breaks make them poorer

I wouldn't say the PQ on MTV is too bad at all, and it's not as if you're necessarily wanting 1080p HD on it anyway..

As for the ad breaks, well they're no worse than Heart-FM which people don't seem to mind...

Shame if those channels go, personally.

I’m definitely spoiled with MTV Live HD and no ad breaks
Then Amazon introduced up to 4K music videos with unlimited music

Now confirmed on Channels.

---------- Post added at 14:24 ---------- Previous post was at 14:16 ----------

Base on information we have seen in the past week Sky might be about to rebranding PICK.

Also Radio Times has confirmed that Sky Cinema Animation HD will launch on Virgin Media on Thursday but have got the channel numbers mix up.

Saturday to Wednesday Radio Times says Sky Cinema Animation HD will be on Channel 412. But From Thursday Radio Times have got Sky Cinema Sci-Fi and Horror HD listed as being on Channel 412.

I think Radio Times has got itself mixed up. Sky Cinema Animation does not start until Thursday, and then it's certainly on channel 412.

Sky Cinema Sci-Fi/Horror is on channel 411 throughout, according to TV & Satellite Week, which is more reliable IMHO.

What’s Pick being rebranded to?

Also there are 3 unknown channels testing on Sky, I think one of them maybe NBC Sky World News

When Sky has been mentioning it on their TV Twitter feed recently they called it Sky Pick. And there had been instances of that naming when the FTA football was first announced.

Whether they actually do the rebrand properly in the end is another matter, they may just be associating the two brands during the football.
