Thats a lot more expensive than Now TV , the movies on Now TV are available in HD on certain devices however currently only at 720p clearly this needs improving further as Netflix PQ is superb. I believe there looking into 5.1 sound and adding Sky Store PPV rentals.
At least on Sky Movies via Sky satellite, you get 5.1 on the SD version. Although you did at one time on Telewest, you have to pay for the HD version to get 5.1 now on VM.

If they add 5.1 and 1080p HD, then £8.99 would be very reasonable for films on Now TV considering that you get recent films. Personally though, I'd still prefer to spend my nine quid on a Netflix/Unblockus combination.
