Sky Cinema Listings Incorrect?

[BobEngineer]

I thought at first my box TV guide was not updated, but I checked the online TV guide and correct, lots of movies replaced or cancelled. At first I thought maybe its a 'sensitivity' issue like movies on certain theme removed due to some news event I had not heard about yet or a disgraced actor in it or something. But its affected a wide range of stuff. Like someone connected the wrong schedule to the system.

@LO11 & @Chris714  & @Kev120 Which channels and movies are you all watching when this is happening as i don't get that issue with any Sky Cinema channels.

Edit.

I should add im using NowTV so it may be platform specific.

To my knowledge adverts are not present on live broadcast once the film has started on channels 301-311 this is on satellite 

on demand versions may be different

Hi hivemind. I've not watched a film on the movie channel for a while, so decided to watch a film today only to have over 30 minutes of adverts during the film.

Sky Cinema-brand channels* do not have advertising during the runtime of a movie.

The non-Sky channels which are dedicated to showing movies do run adverts because they have no income from a Sky Cinema subscription: nothing new there.

Those would be Film4, Movies24 and Great!

* Sky Cinema channels are:

Sky Action 

Sky Animation 

Sky Comedy 

Sky Drama 

Sky Family 

Sky Greats 

Sky Hits 

Sky Premiere 

Sky Sci-Fi Horror 

Sky Select 

Sky Thriller

I've read about ad skip, but I'm not paying for a money grabbing scheme so I can watch a film uninterrupted.

Ad Skipping is a feature on Glass & Stream, and only applies to on-demand content.

@SueG3 I would say that the agent you spoke to wasn't being truthful.

Watched dune 2 then went over to inception, adverts started on both after a short while, also noticed that some of the films advertised on the schedule, eg I am legend and gods of Egypt were not the films being played

Other posts suggest there's currently an operational glitch in Sky Cinema delivery.
