It is still cheaper than actually subscribing to a sky pacj and then movies on top.

If it streams the entire Sky movies catalogue in HD then its a good deal. I always thought Virgin were mental for thinking anyone would want to pay £5 just to use the EPG on TiVo but it seems 100's of thousands want to.

 |  If it was £8 or £9 pounds then that would be a more reasonable price in my humble opinion.

			Considering what Netflix and Lovefilm are charging for their joke of a service, £8-9 for a Sky Movies Pass is way too low

			Now TV will be available on Youview from launch. Personally I think Youview and Now TV is a fantastic combo for people who want great TV without the expensive subscription.

"Instant access to hundreds of the latest titles on Sky Movies, with new and exclusive premieres available each Friday, at least a year before any other online subscription service."
 
Netflix and Lovefilm might be cheaper but SKY's content puts them to shame. This is the service people wanted and hoped Netflix and Lovefilm would be.
