Sony Movie Channel is due to launch on Sky channel 323.

The new Sony Movie Channel launches on 3rd May!

The channel will be the UK's newest home for contemporary movies from the 80s, 90s and 00s. You'll find Sony Movie Channel on Sky Channel 323 (+1 on 324).

Sony Movie Channel won't be part of the pay package on Sky but you'll need a Sky card to watch, on Channel 323.

So it will need a Sky "free to view" / "freesatfromsky" viewing card.

Sony Movie Channel will NOT be available on Freesat.

Movie4Men2 will no longer being broadcast, with its channel number being used for Sony Movie Channel.

However the best of both Movie4Men and Movie4Men2 will be shown on a single M4M channel.

Movie4Men will continue at Sky 325 and Freesat 304.
Also M4M +1 service at Sky 326 and Freesat 305.
There is no change to Men&Movies, it will remain on Freesat at 143.


Some people trying to watch Movie4Men2 on a non sky or non freesat box will find that this channels is now flagged as being encrypted and scrambled. Again, this is due to the fact that Movie4Men2 channel no longer operates and it has been replaced by the Sony Movie Channel.
