Default The new Sky Movies

I have to say, so far, I'm not impressed at all.

- Channels 301, 302 and 309 are heavily pixellating for me so unwatcheable.
Unsure why. It was ok before
- Channel 302 (Prem +1) is a waste of a channel
- Channel 308 (Sky Classics) is Sky Cinema so another channel lost (2 if you
include the other Sky Cinema channel)
- I don't like the Comedy, Action, Family, SciFi/Horror, etc themes. So does
this mean you can't have 2 actions films at once?

I'll give it a week or so but right now I'm quite inclined to go back to the
basic package.

If we're starting a useless channel list then I can add several
hundred to it, starting with all the sport, God, babe, Asian and chat
channels.

When I got the mailshot about the "exciting new chages" - I saw through it
all then. I've downsized from Movies 1 and Sports 1 and 6 mixes to just 2
mixes (Variety for mum and dad - music for the kids) which was where most of
our favourites were anyway bar the premiums,
Got to say I'm not missing the lost channels at all and feel much better
spending just £15 a month!!!

Oh and I downsized via My Sky on the Sky website, and although it took Sky a
couple of days to do it - it worked and didn't cost me a fortune hanging on
an 0845 number.

So you "down graded" then!

downsized = buzz word for wannabe corporate management.

In all seriousness, I'm fairly sure I came across such a channel in
the EPG once.
