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 _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

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  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

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.
