You'd really wonder what the point of it is. I'd prefer if they stopped wasting money on changing the names of the channels and used the savings to reduce my subscription....

Sky Premier becomes Sky Movies Premier
Sky Premier 2 becomes Sky Movies Premier 2
Sky Premier 3 becomes Sky Movies Premier 3
Sky Premier 4 becomes Sky Movies Premier 4
Sky Premier Widescreen becomes Sky Movies Premier Widescreen
Sky MovieMax becomes Sky Movies Max
Sky MovieMax 2 becomes Sky Movies Max 2
Sky MovieMax 3 becomes Sky Movies Max 3
Sky MovieMax 4 becomes Sky Movies Max 4
Sky MovieMax 5 becomes Sky Movies Max 5
Sky Cinema becomes Sky Movies Cinema
Sky Cinema 2 becomes Sky Movies Cinema 2

they really are rediculous names

who is going to say, "hey watch the film tonight at 10 on Sky Movies Premier Widescreen. it is great"

Shane

How are they going to fit that into the on-screen banner?

Mossy Monk

probably something like Sky Mv Prmr W/S

why don't Sky use the full length of the search and scan banner for channel names rather than just a bit on the left?

Charles Slane

Maybe they'll make it into a multi-screen portal, like Music Choice. That way it would be more like a cinema. You go to Sky Movies and choose which film you want to see.

And the yellow button supplies the popcorn !

This is early morning optimism running riot but as this is happening on July 1st according to digital spy, does that mean sky + ( and all its problems) may be released here after that? Agreed, stupid names.

ShaneOC

Please please give us Sky + and all it's problems

You can keep your silly names.

I wish the Sky Movie channels be split into different genres like film channels do in the continent. e.g.

Sky Movies - General movie channel
Sky Action - Action/trillers
Sky Horror - Horror Movies
Sky-Fi - Science Fiction movies
Sky Classics - similiar to sky cinema
Sky Anime - Animation cinema
Sky Comedy - comedy movies

More Improvements:
2 things that would make us all much happier would be to show all films in widescreen on all the channels where possible plus Sky to work out a deal with the ITC for a license to transmit 15s or maybe even 18s movies on all their movie channels before 8pm. All other European/American film channels are able to show good movies during the daytime but we have to put up with cheap family orientated mass-repeated rubbish every day till 8pm on the movie channels. Hopefully Sky/ITC will get with the times soon.

The names suck.. they are better as is...

Gonzo those names are better but i doubt it would work... you would have some of those channels with very little viewers.
