Why would you put Movies in a TV section?

My TiVo isn't that slow, about 3 seconds to get into the movies and about 1.5 seconds per page.

Going forward I'd like the movies to be split into genres. 1 folder for comdey, 1 folder for horrer etc...

I think he's using TIVO

I'm sure it's mentioned in one of the press releases however do M+ customer with SKY Movies get access to these films too? Seeing L & XL customers are the only ones who can access the SKY anytime TV content, I suppose it makes sense to put the movies elsewhere for the benefit of M+ customers.

I hope the above make sense

Yes I thought (although I'm not 100% sure) that the Sky Anytime Movies were available to everyone with a Movies subscription now anyway which is why it's seperated out?

The content restricted to XL is the TV Choice stuff (as it's in TV Choice XL)

Yeah, I tried to explain that in a backward way. You've summed it up much better

The recent drop in price of Sky Movies Collection makes it more attractive now too.

Yeah got to agree. Â£19.50 per month for 11 SKY Movie channel plus Cinemagic is good value, especially with the arrival of SKY Anytime.

You'd struggle to rent more than 6 DVD's in a month for less than Â£19.50 in most highstreet Video shops.

At Lovefilm you'll pay Â£8.16 for 4 movie rentals in a month. Even if you take out the unlimited package for Â£19.39, and I'm talking as an ex-customer of Lovefilm, you'll be lucky to get more than 20 rentals over the period of a month.

It cost me Â£26.00 to take my Mrs. to the cinema about 4 months ago to watch a movie in 3D, and that was before popcorn, juice and the cost of my petrol.

If you are a fan of movies, and can wait between 6 and 8 months to see the newest releases, SKY Movies and SKY Anytime on Virgin is a total bargain!

This makes me want to resub to Sky movies but the quality of SD Sky Movies is horrible and then when you add the Â£7 HD charge on top it then makes it an unattractive price.

Â£26.50 is still a decent price for what your getting, however I fully agree that this might be too much for some people just to watch movies.

The SD Anytime content is pretty good quality imho , however I agree Sky movies isn't great.
