"Free" Sky Movies !=20
Apparently since Jan 1st 2004 all Sky Sports World subscribers are=20
entitled to the even numbered Sky Movies channels for free.....!

You just need to ring Sky customer services and ask them to change your=20
channel package to G1. This gives you all Sky Sports 1, 2, 3 and Xtra plus=
=20
Sky Movies 2, 4, 6, etc

For those people already subscribing to Sky Sports World its a
no-brainer=20
! For those just taking a single Sky Sports channel, I guess its an=20
incentive from Sky to get you to take the full Sky Sports World package=20
and bag half of the movie channels for free !

It has been noted to us this evening and confirmed by Sky, that since
1st=20
January 2004, anyone with a Sky Sports World package (regardless of base=20
pack) can subscribe to Sky Movies 2,4,6 and 8 at no additional cost. The=20
pack price for Sky Sports World and Family Pack is =A333, the same as
addin=
g=20
on Sky Movies 2,4,6 and 8 (=A333). Contrary to the Sky website, Sky Sports
=
3=20
and Sky Sports Xtra are still included as bonus channels. You can adjust=20
your package by calling 0870 240 4040.=20



Should tell you everything you need to know and it is correct because I=20
