New movie channel names on ntl Dublin digital?

faraday

Just noticed that the channel listings on ntl digital in Dublin have changed slightly.

I now see Sky Movies 1 to Sky Movies 9 on channels 301 to 309.

There's no information on the ntl.ie website. Anyone get any info on this? The only channel listing I could find on ntl's site was
here. It seems that Sky Movies Premier and Sky Movies Max are now just "Sky Movies". Nothing new or anything, except the names.

Is this a change that Sky has had for a while? Or am I hallucinating after eating too much candy yesterday?

All thats new is the names, all the uneven numbers are now the old Sky Movie Premier Ch.'s and the even ones are movie max ch's I get the stations direct from sky and in this months sky mag they told of the changes.
Nothing to do with ntl, sky just felt like a change!

Hi Faraday, welcome to the forums,

This rebrand of all Sky Movies for today was announced about a month ago. (I think there's a thread about it somewhere)

Sky wanted to get rid of the "Movies Premier" & the "Movies Max" brands so they opted to just call them Sky Movies 1-9, but they are keeping Sky cinema & Sky Cinema 2.

It has happened on all platforms from today, not just on ntl.
