when I received an email from sky it stated see all the latest movies with HBO .that's why I downloaded the app on phone and TV .thankyou 


Fair enough. And yes, the higher tier of HBO offers "all the latest movies" in the same way that paying extra for Sky Cinema offers the exact same set of latest movies (and others on top). There are pretty much zero movies in the locked-out part of the HBO app that aren't included in those Sky Cinema channels.

I'm sure the wording of the promotional email was carefully crafted.

 

Edit to add: On the other hand, there are movies in the free tier of the HBO app which aren't available elsewhere. I've been wanting to see "Barry Lyndon" (a Stanley Kubric film) for many years, and struggled to find it - it's on there.
