    Sky announces weekend of free movies
    Sky has announced that some of its movies content will be available to its TV viewers for limited period in the near future.

    The digital TV and broadband provider has announced that, from 18:00 GMT on October 30th to 06:00 GMT, Sky Movies Screen 1 and Screen 1 HD will be available for free to all of its subscribers.

    A selection of popular and acclaimed movies are set to be available over the period in both standard and high definition, including The Incredible Hulk, Atonement and The Godfather.

    Ian Lewis, director of Sky Movies, said: "We want to show Sky TV subscribers what a fantastic variety of films we have on Sky Movies.

    "The line-up for the weekend is great and shows what an extensive breadth of content we have on the channel."

    It was recently revealed that the Sky Player online TV service is featured on Microsoft's new Windows 7 operating system.
