Wizardindwld again why?

[NickT3]

Can someone please explain why we have to have wizardindwld on sky cinema every school holiday. It's getting a bit boring now. Surely we have newer family films take up the time.

Presumably to allow others to watch it, if they wish.

There can't possibly be many people left in the country that haven't seen a Harry Potter film.

Of course, not to say they won't want to watch it again though.

[Mark39]

I suspect the target audience are amongst those who would absolutely want to see it more than once!

*raises hand*

I've never seen a Harry Potter film, though not going to start now.

I figure if no one was watching these anymore after the 473 previous times (estimate) previously sky cinema rebranding a sky cinema station after Harry potter/wizarding world/beasts, they would have probably  stopped doing it now.

You could email viewer relations at viewerR@sky.uk

Presumably Sky is able to obtain the rights to those movies easily (and cheaply) : there's also a lot of them compared to almost every other franchise which helps when filling the EPG.

Personally I find the perpetually changing Cinema channel names mildly annoying but it seems to be something we're stuck with.

If pin request is coming up for PG movies, then I'd suggest checking the parental settings.

https://www.sky.com/help/articles/managing-parental-settings

As per this

PIN-protecting shows by age rating

You can restrict shows at all times based on their age rating. 

To do this:

1. Press Home on your Sky Q remote and select Settings, then Parental.
2. Enter your Sky TV PIN.
3. Select Ratings, followed by Age restriction then select the ratings of the shows you want to PIN-protect at all times.

Ofcom rules will still apply, but pg programming shouldn't be pin protected

[scouselfc]

done that to stop pin and still does it stupid its the cookies when u sign in to check emails tried blockin it and wont let me read my emails !! silly to  be honest !!

I struggle to understand why anyone (apart from those with no internet) even look at the individual movie channels when every movie showing, plus several hundred others, are available On Demand to watch at any time.
