New FTA Sat Channel - World Movies
Most of the good UK TV film rights are sold to high cost subscription services like Sky and Virgin so it is refreshing to see a new FTA movie channel on satellite. World Movies at 837 (Update: moved to 334) on the Sky EPG specialises in unhollywood-like international films aired currently from about 4pm to 4am. If you subscribed to Film4 before they went FTA and slipped into showing mainly old Hollywood films that have done the rounds everywhere else, you will be familiar with the international genre and it is great to see it back. The films currently showing in the original language with subtitles are mostly European and Japanese with a few others from the Eastern block, Middle East and other regions that still maintain good independent film industries.
