Is it just one movie in particular you want to know the expiry date for?

I wish to know which movies we lose in September/October

I do not understand Sky's attitude

Usually there is a financial reason but can't understand what that might be

@MikeN2

Is there a particular reason you are interested in knowing that? I can't remember ever seeing it asked on here before.

If Sky have said that they won't share such information then that seems to be the end of it.

Sky+ Boxes still display movie expiry dates. My understanding was Sky Q displayed them when they were within the final 30 days.

The old Sky+ app still does too. I still have it on my iPhone, even though I haven't had Sky+ for years.

The Sky Cinema section on the app shows the expiry date for every movie available on demand. The Sky Go app only shows a date when there is less a month left before a title is removed.
