Wasn't it mostly the same as Sky Premier One - but just widescreen before though?

I'd say they could not be bothered with doing up new idents for a "Sky Premier 5". All the movie channels are going to be rebranded after Summer anyways.

Check channel 700 and use the interactive there is a page about it there.

Bascially all Move channels going WS and no need for a seperate WS channel some will still be in 4:3 it will say so in the info bar.

Wonder if we get a new channel we are paying for 12 Premier movie channels.
But they prolly pull the " we reserve the right to do what we want" card.
