Sky viewers who enjoy movie marathons are in for a change this week as the company is merging Sky Cinema Animation (channel 312) with Sky Cinema Family, consolidating the services into a single channel on April 30. The move aims to streamline the viewing experience, offering a central hub for family-friendly films on channel 304.
Following the update, viewers can access popular titles like the Shrek series, The Secret Life of Pets, Smurfs, How to Train Your Dragon, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and Wicked all in one place. Although this means one less channel, Sky reassures that all content previously available on Sky Cinema Animation will still be accessible through Sky Cinema Family.
For fans of Sky Cinema Animation, there is a silver lining as the standalone channel will make a return during school holidays to entertain kids. Sky has announced specific periods when Sky Cinema Animation will be available: July 24 to August 30, October 23 to November 1, and December 1 to January 5.
In addition to this channel update, Sky has ventured into the home security sector by introducing new smart devices. Customers can now subscribe to a Sky Smart Doorbell and Chime for £5 per month with a £15 upfront cost. This system offers features such as full HD video recording, instant mobile alerts, customizable activity zones, two-way audio, and 30 days of cloud video storage.
For those seeking more advanced functionalities, Sky is presenting a Smart Home Bundle with Smart Home Plan+ for £8 monthly and a £20 upfront fee. This package includes an indoor camera and enhanced app controls, enabling features like scheduled arming and automatic device modes.
Paul Sweeney, Managing Director of Sky Smart Home, emphasized the company’s commitment to providing accessible premium smart technology. He highlighted the focus on delivering features that customers value, ensuring simplicity, ease of use, management, and affordability.
