Aye, there's black and white movies (including a silent one), stuff with subtitles that doesn't interest me and tons of dross similar to the afternoon films on Channel 5. Some of the films were being shown when I last had the movie channels in the analogue days!

Upon doing searches, some films are also being shown on basic pay channels like SYFY and even channels available for free like Sony Movies.

When I had it for free for a few months I made a point of checking out every movie shown.

There were two that I really enjoyed and about three that were ok. Anyone paying £21 a month for this would be foolish and would be better buying the odd PVP film.

In all seriousness, back in the nineties when I had satellite, there were only two movie channels and there was a lot more on there to watch.

Didn't Sky lose the rights to a major movie studio or did I dream that?
