This info was posted on the other forum by Satdude:

Sky is to launch a dedicated high-definition movie channel to tie in with the release of the 23rd James Bond film, Skyfall, in October.

Running throughout the month, Sky Movies 007 HD will carry all 22 of the previous official movies, from Dr No to Quantum of Solace, as well as the two unofficial, non-EON flicks - the 1967 madcap version of Casino Royale (starring David Niven, Peter Sellers and Woody Allen) and Never Say Never Again, the remake of Thunderball with an aging Sean Connery returning to play Bond for the last time.

What's more, all of the movies official and otherwise will be available throughout October on Sky Go for iPad, iPhone, PC, Mac and select Android devices. Subscribers will be able to stream the films while mobile.

The broadcaster's new Now TV service will also be getting all of the Bond films, so subscribers to that service will be able to stream them, in HD, to their connected TVs or through a YouView box when it gets the application.

Sky Movies 007 HD will start with the first James Bond movie, Dr No, on 5 October. The much-anticipated Skyfall will hit UK cinemas on 26 October in the UK, 9 November in the US. Strangely, Serbians will get to see the film first, with the world premiere scheduled for 22 October in Belgrade.

Why Sly would want James Bond films is beyond me. Apart from
the new ones had enough of those on free TV.

Still at least no more Bank Holiday Bonds on free TV. Seems Sly
just wants to buy everything it can. (Not a UK Sly user!!)

I am, so thanks for the info. Bond films are part of my life and, yes, seen them all but I can watch bits if we are eating a meal or whatever. Sort of dip in, dip out.

I wonder if sky will talk over the credits at the end of the film -Like they normally do to promote some other rubbish?

I was not questioning your kindly motives Aldo, though we both possibly watch
similiar chans via Sat.

I thought the Bond Films had been done to death & also interested in Sly motives.
Still, seems as though DC still likes them. (YMMV) !!
