  Sky Digital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sky Digital is the brand name for British Sky Broadcasting's digital satellite television service, transmitted from SES Astra satellites located at 28.2°E and Eutelsat's Eurobird 1 satellite at 28.5°E. BSkyB's analogue broadcasts ceased in 2001, so the service is now more commonly marketed as just Sky.
Sky Digital was officially launched on 1 October 1998, although small-scale tests were carried out before then.
Sky Digital's broadcasts are in DVB-compliant MPEG-2, with the Sky Movies and Sky Box Office channels including optional Dolby Digital soundtracks for recent films, although these are only accessible with a Sky+ box.

 Sky Box Office - Review - To Expensive
Sky box office was a good idea but i think it has let itself down by being to expensive £3.00, against a average price of £2.00 in a video shop.
The second problem for sky is that all box office films are encrypted so you cannot tape them.
The only thing i think they will do well with is the special events like boxing the price is high but if you have a few friends round the house and share the cost it is not so bad.

This is not your typical Studio conformist film that will leave audiences with a sense of satisfaction, but rather with a sense of shock, interest, sadness, confusion and utter disbelief - simultaneously.
'Total Recall' may come to mind for those film buffs who really studied the film and understood it to its' fullest extent, yet 'Vanilla Sky' will long not be forgotten as the film that even if one were to follow the tagline 'Open Your Eyes', they still won't exactly know what the hell happened.

 MTV.com - Movies - News - Rewind: 'World Of Tomorrow' Built On Yesterday's Pulp Fiction
Back on the silver screen, "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" owes another debt to Fritz Lang's groundbreaking 1927 science fiction epic, "Metropolis." While film historians will forever debate the political and social merits of the tale of workers exploited by the wealthy, nobody ever questions the visual impact of the film.
"Sky Captain" is more Art Deco than German Expressionism, but the soft focus, huge imposing structures and stark angular lighting of "Metropolis" can be seen in the new movie along with shots of airplanes soaring through skyscraper-lined streets.
Whether "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" will elicit an Indiana Jonesian mania or a Phantomlike ennui remains to be seen.
