Ads are shown on the live channels on your Cinema Membership. You'll also see ads when you watch on-demand movies, unless you've got Boost or Ultra Boost, which let you stream on-demand movies ad-free. (You'll still see trailers for movies you can access with your membership.) Find out more about Boost and Ultra Boost
The Paramount+ app won't be available on NOW. However, as part of Sky Cinema’s continued relationship with Paramount, NOW Cinema members will be able to stream most of Paramount’s latest blockbusters, as well as continuing to enjoy Paramount’s library of on demand movies at no extra cost.
If you've got an Apple or Android smartphone or tablet, you can download selected movies (excluding 20th Century Fox and Disney movies) to your device and watch them anywhere.
Each show can be downloaded twice, and will be saved on your device for up to 30 days. Once you start watching, you've got 48 hours during which you can watch it as many times as you like. Find out more about downloading shows
If you've got Boost or Ultra Boost, you can watch all the live movie channels and most on-demand movies in 1080p with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound.
With Ultra Boost, you'll be able to stream selected movies in 4K Ultra HD HDR with Dolby Atmos on supported devices. If you're watching on a compatible device, you'll see the UHD and Dolby Atmos symbols (as shown below) for each available title.
Good to knowFor your convenience, we’ll automatically show the video and audio quality of each title for the device you’re on. A movie may be available in UHD, but if your device can only support HD, you’ll see the HD symbol and the movie will play at 1080p.
You might be asked for your viewing PIN when watching the live Sky Cinema channels between 5.30am and 10pm, depending on the movie or show you’re watching, and the device you’re watching on.
If you haven't set up a PIN yet, it's quick and easy to do. Just head to the Settings & PINs section of My Account.
If you've got kids in your household and you want to restrict what on-demand movies they can watch with your Cinema Membership, you can turn your PIN ON and set an age rating here, too.
Keep in mindYou’ll need to enter your viewing PIN for some live movies even if you don’t have any age restrictions set up.
Your first monthly payment will be taken on the day you buy your membership (or if you have a free offer or trial, we'll take payment when your offer or trial ends). Your next payment will be taken on the same day the following month, or sometimes (if you also added another membership at the same time) a day or two later – in which case you get any extra days for free.

If you've also got another type of membership, your Cinema Membership will appear as a separate payment on your statement.
