    I see Sky now want to charge an extra €2 a month for TCM a channel that was included in the monthly subscription untill today. Again less for your money. The other thing that bothers me is the charge is £1GBP or €2 Euro, nice exchange rate(for SKY).

    It once used to be FTA, and had better content then too.

    Well, there are
    Film 24
    Film4
    Film4 +1
    CineMoi
    Horror Channel
    Horror Channel+1
    Movies4Men
    Movies4Men +1
    Movies4Men 2
    Movies4Men 2+1
    True Movies
    True Movies 2
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_free-to-air_channels_at_28%C2%B0E

    Also other channels with Films and cheap DVDs to buy online.

    Certainly TCM isn't worth €24 a year.

    If you had the movie channel package you would expect to get TCM included in your package, you don't. (Style and Culture :rolleyes: apparently)

    If you had the sport package you would expect to get eurosport, you don't. (News and Events :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::confused::confused::confused:)

    Disappointing but unsurprising they work this way.

    Is TCM not in the Style & Culture pack? What has changed, and where did you see this information.

    The only worthwhile free to air movie channel is Film 4.

    Go to ch 317 on the Sky EPG, there is a For Your Information notice. Used to watch it quite a bit myself, love the old westerns but Sky aint getting any more dough from me.

    Don't forget Men&Movies for more Django incarnations, war films and documentaries, and classic World of Sport with the likes of Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks.

    Also, don't think CineMoi is FTA anymore.

    TCM is working perfect for me on Sky and I dont have the movies, its been there all week.


  • Registered Users Posts: 74 ✭✭Jamey_29


    I remember about a year ago my brother had to cough up 2 euro to get this channel added for him. They said everyone was being charged for it.

    Either the OP removed the Style & Culture pack, or he hasn't watched TCM via Sky in 2 years.
