I too had the same email. Looking at the movies advertised in the email, there is not a single one that I would wish to watch. If that applies to me, it must apply to thousands more. I have never seen such a poor selection of movies available from Sky at the moment. Even at .99p, I wouldn't be interested.Farway said:Just had e mail, NOW cinema offer £2.99 for three months but having checked what's available I'm passing on that, nothing I want to watch on there"There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe a 'Princess Coronation' locomotive in full cry.

Interesting you say that. I was one of Sky's first ever customers in about 1990, back in the days of Screensport, Lifestyle, Tutti Fruiti, and pre-BSB. I stuck with them through the launch of Digital, and had the full range of channels until about five years ago, when the realisation dawned that I was watching no more than a dozen TV channels in total, and these were nearly all available on Freeview. I was, in essence, paying a lot of money to record programmes I didn't watch.Deleted_User said:

I dabbled with NowTV, including Entertainment, Movies and 2 years constant Sport. But their creeping prices, culminating with their latest Boost !!!!!!-up, has led me to now resolve never again to pay to watch commercial television. Anything I pay for has to be ad-free.
So yes, I guess I'm not what Sky are looking for. It's not my loss, but is it Sky's?"There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe a 'Princess Coronation' locomotive in full cry. We shall never see their like again". O S Nock1 -
Unsure if it's a bad deal for Sky.poppasmurf_bewdley said:

The competition is tough out there these stand alone packages that Sky offer was a result of the streaming platforms of Netflix. Im down to Netflix only now and only sticking it with it as they haven't enforced any constraints on sharing account.

I've had Sky email and phone offering Sky Cinema for £5pm to add to my current TV package - but it just isn't value anymore.poppasmurf_bewdley said:
