History
Sky Movies was started in 1990 when Sky Television first launched originally only playing movies during afternoons and evenings. 24 hour programming didn't start until later in the nineties. Between 1993 and 1998 Sky Movies became known as
HBO but later reverted back to its former name Sky Movies. NICAM stereo broadcasting was available on the UHF channel until around 1998 when Sky launched their digital service. Stereo sound is available on the Digital service.
Widescreen broadcasting was started on the Sky Movies channel for Sky Digital subscribers as of 1st January 2005. Prior to this Widescreen broadcasting was only available on
SKY Movies 2, Sky used to run movies in 4:3 format on Sky Movies and the same movies were shown again in widescreen format on Sky Movies 2.
Complaints
During 2007 many users complained due to the vast repetition of movies, as basically the same movies are replayed every day with little to no variation. This resulted in a big loss of Sky's client base with them looking more towards the internet and traditional DVD rental stores to get what they want.
