http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/sho ... ?t=1815561Sky is offering non-Sky Movie subscribers free access to its Sky Screen 1 and Sky Screen 1 HD from 6pm 30 Oct until 6am Monday 2 Nov.Now I'd have figured most of those films would have been shown quite frequently by now anyway, but I don't have Sky, so... But I guess it'd be good to see 'em in HD

Except you need the HD (£10 extra) box  It's probably a shift to a new encryption so they can have a time to remove one form and set up a new one knowing Sky

Sky doesn't bother changing their encryption unless the present one is known to be broken... and they're not above seeding cards to see where things end up either. Allegedly.

As I say, don't have Sky, and wouldn't want it either

I wonder if this is going to be like "the old days" back in Milton Keynes where SelecTV or MKTV, (whichever the cable company was at the time) used to do "free" weekends, where they showed the films, complete with scrolling text along the bottom of the screen telling you how you could become a subscriber.

I am suppried they dont so this more often. VIrgin did it some time ago ( might have been last year) but publisied it so badly that I didn't know about it until the last day- hardly a way to get you "hooked" on the premium channels
