Disgusting content in adverts

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I wish to complain about an advert on your channel Ive just seen for the kitchen towel Plenty. Its absolutely disgusting and should not be aired. Anyone who thinks this appropriate need to think again. I am actually never going to buy this product ever again so its counterproductive. It goes beyond suitable viewing and Im shocked as to the depths these advertisements will sink.

Adverts adverts and more adverts

This channel shows great movies. Unfortunately the films are interrupted very frequently with adverts. Certainly more often than any other movie channel I watch. I now record the movies and fast forward at the adverts. Much better than watching on TV.

This a channel for adverts with the occasional bit of movie in between! Waste of time and tv resources. Give the channel to a company who knows what they are doing.

Poor sound quality and lack of subtitles

We are complaining about the sound on the Sony movie channels you have to have the sound up so loud to watch a film then when you change channels you have to turn it down as they are so much louder on other channels eg the news channel subtitles would be really helpful as such a shame as the movies are really good

Will never watch this channel while there's no subtitles. Freeview - why is it not a condition of carrying the Sony channels that they stop discriminating against the disabled ?

This Channel is a joke

Fed up with how many advert breaks and how long they are. So you get revenue from adverts but you will loose viewers. Seriously Movies are meant to be watched in full no breaks, if you must have one then ONE ONLY. You say you love movies that's a joke, as far as i'm concerned you love adverts. Cut out the adverts and become a proper movie channel. I never finish watching one of your movies as i get so fed up with all the repeated advert breaks i just turn over and watch Sky Movies, more up to date and no adverts. I hope you take this review on board.

I agree they have way too many adverts. I tried to watch a film the other night and I just could not get into it as there was too many adverts repeating them selfs and going too long. Think I spent more time watching stupid adverts than the movie.A don't think I'll be watching this channel again

I watched the advertising all week and looked forward to seeing what was the best version ever made of Billy the kid. Like all classic or cult movies they are only as good as the original version and to my horror the Bon Jovi soundtrack that was written specifically for the movie was deleted making the movie worse than just another western. Another dumped tv channel Sod so called movie channels in future I will get the dvd disgruntled and pissed off xxx xxx xxxx xxxx xxxx x x x xxxxx xxx xxx xxx xx xxxx xx xxxx xxxxx xxx x x xxx xx x xx xxx xxx xxxx x x xxxx

Repeats

We as viewers are fed up with S E T's repeated movies over and over. who ever is in charge of movie schedule at least take a look at it, to verify how often its been played within a month. I mean if we talk about bollywood movies, theres about five same movie title in five decades. My point is there are so many movies to choose from. My complaint is that same movies shouldn't be repeated even once in an year. There are some realty T.V shows that sony entertainment supports, and we as viewers appreciate and that is why we subscribe to SET.

Why doesnt sony movie channel have closed captioning?

As a legally deaf customer & recently receiving a new channel, Sony movie channel, I need closed captioning to understand what's going on. This new station has no cc & my husband who knows I cannot watch Tv without cc, gets upset & we don't get to watch whatever good movie is on. What gives???? I realize a lot of people don't like or need cc-ok so push the off button & you wont see it..its not fair to us non-hearing people to have to miss out on today's movies, let alone on our pc's!!!! Help!

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let us have subtitles on every SONY MOVIE channel on freeview and NOW tv. Like many I cannot hear speech and cosequently avoid SONY MOVIE channels.

PLEASE let us have subtitles (they also help foreign students learn English). PLEASE, they are essential for many, many hard of hearing viewers.

Help them. Thank you, Regards Joe

I too am deaf and pissed off with no subtitles

Orah Fmh

I am in total agreement and called Directv and they stated that the captions are not included from Sony. However, I thought there was a government regulation that stated if a program has closed captions it must be broadcast with them.

Most programs (all) since 2000 have closed captions in their content.

What is really going on here and how is Sony allowed to continue this neglectful and shameful attitude towards the hearing impaired for this long???

Guest

Give us closed captioning!

Guest

Ditto on the need for closed captiong. The end of the year is fast approaching.

Guest

Netflix offers streaming movies with captions. I'm not deaf, but I still like them sometimes.

But really you can't blame a company for not catering to your specific needs. They have to make money and it costs more money than it creates.

You should buy DVDs or BluRays that will always have the captioning if you rely on it.

Guest

Hi Anonymous,

We're working hard on closed captioning and hope to have it up by the end of the year. We truly value all our viewers.
