Feeling adventurous? Then flick to Sky Movies Action & Thriller. Fancy a giggle? Just line up a laughter-fest on Sky Movies Comedy!
Sky Movies has been transformed and, with its new themed channels, you have more control than ever before to choose the kinds of films you want to watch.
Because of this great new look, you'll notice some changes to the channel names and numbers on the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG). Here are the key points you need to know to make the most of the new and improved Sky Movies.
Why has Sky Movies changed?
Sky Movies leads the field in movies entertainment and stays ahead of our competitors by embracing change and new challenges. We value our customers. That‘s why we‘ve responded to extensive customer research and have:
- made it easier for you to find the movies you want to watch
- enhanced and added value to the whole Movies experience
- simplified the Sky Movies Packs
What improvements have been made?
A channel for Comedy, a channel for Action & Thrillers, a channel for Drama ... there‘s something for everyone!
- There are now two Sky Movies Packs, each made up of four dedicated Sky Movies channels
- Each channel has a strong, distinctive identity and a descriptive name to help with recognition and to avoid any confusion
What channels are in each pack, and what are their new channel numbers?
Pack 1
Sky Movies Comedy
EPG Name: Sky Comedy
EPG Number: 303
Description:
There are times when you hit the sofa and feel, quite frankly, rubbish. There are times when you want to challenge someone to make you laugh. If you could turn to a channel to make yourself feel better or set that challenge, can you honestly think of one more suited to the cause than a 24-hour comedy channel?
Sky Movies Family
EPG Name: Sky Family
EPG Number: 305
Description:
We used to run hugely popular family seasons, such as the Sunday Family Film. Now you can forget about the 4-hour slot of the past, and find movies for the whole family, 24 hours a day!
Sky Movies Classics
EPG Name: Sky Classics
EPG Number: 308
Description:
For those viewers that think today's movies have nothing on the flicks of old, then you will most certainly enjoy the Classics channel. For 24 hours a day you can see the likes of Barbarella, The Fly and Sunday Bloody Sunday. If it's a good movie from pre-1975, then it belongs right here!
Sky Movies Modern Greats
EPG Name: Sky Modern
EPG Number: 309
Description:
It's the other half of the classics - any movie from the 70s onwards that achieved serious critical acclaim belongs in the Modern Greats. And we're not being snobbish about it either - Modern Greats can include Rocky, The Godfather or even Ferris Beuller's Day Off!
Sky Movies HD 1 (on subscription)
EPG Name: Sky Movies HD 1
Description:
Movies from across the genres will come together for the Sky Movies HD channels. If we have the print that will allow you to see the movie in glorious detail, turn to the Sky Movies HD channels to see it!
Pack 2
Sky Movies Action/Thriller
EPG Name: Sky Action
EPG Number: 304
Description:
If you love an explosion, punch-up, chase scene or adventure then you'll find yourself on the Action/Thriller channel a fair bit! It runs for 24 hours a day and features the likes of Chuck, Arnie, Nic and Denzel.
Sky Movies Drama
EPG Name: Sky Drama
EPG Number: 306
Description:
Want the tension but without the death and destruction? The arguments without the guns? Sky Movies Drama will be the channel to visit. Brokeback Mountain, Kinsey and Enduring Love are the kinds of movies you‘ll find here, 24 hours a day.
Sky Movies Sci-Fi/Horror
EPG Name: Sky Sci-Fi/Horror

Sky Movies Indie
EPG Name: Sky Indie
EPG Number: 310
Description:
Not every movie on Sky is a big budget Hollywood flick, so we‘ve got the Indie channel, the home of the independent movie. You‘ll find more than just a range of low-budget Brit flicks though - many of the films will be from across the world!
Sky Movies HD 2 (on subscription)
EPG Name: Sky Movies HD 2
