Sky Premiere movies in HD on Sky Anytime but not on HD movie channels

For a few weeks now I've noticed that some of the new movies on Sky Premiere
have not been shown on Sky Movies HD. This week, NONE of them are. But then
I noticed that some of them ARE available in HD through Sky Anytime.

Any idea why Sky might be doing this? It would be nice if the Premiere
channel had an HD equivalent instead of the pointless +1.

Your assuming that every Premier is available in HD. Many people object to
SKY Sports HD because they are HD broadcasts of SKY SD Sports channels,
including scaled up SD most of the time. At least with the HD movie channels
you know you will be watching HD movies!

Well, I think that everything that *is* available in HD *should* be shown in
HD and not hidden away on Sky Anytime only.

Haven't Sky recently reached an agreement with every Hollywood studio to
show their movies in HD?

You might as well say that about "everything" on Anytime, that what is
stuffed on your hard drive could have been got from the ordinary channels at
some other time.

I find the whole Anytime thing frustrating and turned it off. I don't want
to be reminded of series that have already started, or programs I've already
seen.

But as has just been pointed out in this thread, that's not true, and
there is stuff which is ONLY shown on Anytime and not on other
channels.

I read a magazine interview with a SKY spokes person where he indicated that
they expect to extend Anytime to the net via the HD Ethernet port. If that
means I can download back episodes to catch up with the series they have
made me sample via Sat then Anytime might make some sense.
