Judging by your responses, one of your biggest concerns with the recent changes was the loss of two channels. You’ll be glad to hear that Sky Movies line-up will include two further channels from 31st May, Sky Movies SD1 and Sky Movies SD2. These channels will bring you a mix of the best movies across all genres replicating the existing Sky HD channels in standard definition. This will give Sky Movies standard definition customers access to the same titles as Sky Movies HD customers. If you are subscribed to Pack 1, you will receive Sky Movies SD1; while Pack 2 customers will receive Sky Movies SD2.
