And what's not to like? Movies there when you want to watch them, no pesky ads and cheaper to boot.
Nice to see Sky keeping up, even though this arrangement will bring in less income from the advertisers.

Pretty sure they would not do it if it lost them revenue.
Also, aren't the majority of Sky Movies already available On Demand anyway?
The ads will come with it though. Do you seriously think there will be no more ads ever on the Sky Movie service?

Well, Sky seem to have got the message and I thought they would be one of the last broadcasters to admit defeat, given advertisement saturation on their channels.

No, that is so can delude people into thinking they are going to get a better deal by potentially going On Demand. The non-skippable ads would the potentially come when enough people are stupid enough to believe there is a "better alternative" and (potentially) take up On Demand. All the ads will be forced on those who go On Demand.
Long live linear the fast forward button!!
