Got to agree. I've always found Picturebox to be a total waste of time and money. There is better movies to watch free on TV over the next 7 days on the likes of ITV2, Film4 and Channel 4.

Be much better if they are to charge to have a reduced fee. I am expecting my XL package to increase next year anyway

To be honest I personally think the Netflix UK movie range is very uninspiring , many of those have aired on TV I subscribe mainly for its original content and the odd good TV box set , take them away and I wouldn't pay £5.99 for just the movie side of things.

We are currently watching our way through House of Cards, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, The Tudors, Dexter, Prison Break and Modern Family. Whilst most have already been on TV, somehow along the way we managed to miss these shows or didn't catch them from the beginning. The movies, for us, is a nice little bonus.

Same as our house , House of Cards is brilliant I'm looking forward to the second series , another plus side for Netflix is its awesome picture quality and easy to use interface which is uniform across all devices.

A deal that would get them a guaranteed income for the next few years, is far better than a deal that will probably only get them several thousand new subscribers over the same period.

Really? I thought the interface was awful, i much prefer Lovefilm. Unless it's changed since i used it?

I'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree there then , in my opinion Netflix has easily the best most intuitive user interface it also has the best technology.

I agree. I have said several times that I can't understand why someone who wants Netflix is waiting for it to be added to Tivo, especially as it has been a very long wait. Boxes such as the WD TV Live, are actually better for Netflix in that you can get other Regions on them. So unless their is a discounted price, then it is not a USP.


However some people do like the convenience of everything in one box, so it will be an added value convenience rather than a USP. And there is nothing wrong with added value convenience. The fact that Netflix titles will be included in any Tivo search is another nice feature.
