My own view is Premier Sports 'Sports rights' are very poor.

That's good news, I have watched it, but I don't think I've done so enough to warrant paying for it.

I think my source was telling porkies and Skymovies was never going to be free and now my source is trying to cover their tracks.
To confirm this is one of the sources i got rid of a few weeks ago anyway.

Id of dismissed that when you read it. Sky Movies will only be ever free when it is on Sky, and certainly not over christmas as that is when people pay for it and watch films. Biggest load of rubbish ever. Glad you sacked that guy.

I think they will keep delaying it, they obviously have seen the viewing figures and can work out that they cannot make it premium on Virgin.

I think they've realised that January is a poor time to start charging for the channel. Far better to wait for people to have a couple of months' salaries and be more financially recovered from Christmas than try and get people to spend more each month when they're still recovering financially from Christmas.

anyone who pays for PS is off their nut imo, a totally poor channel!

I haven't found it that bad, although granted I've only really watched hockey on it.

Maybe the wrong section, but my TiVo seems to going over board with suggestions now. It has recorded three films today alone, and that is more than the last two years put together. Not complaining though.

They just need to add HD when available, and everything would be merry. :D
