Picture Box - Value for Money Yes or No
 

Picture Box TV - http://www.picturebox.tv/virgin £5 Per month, 28 Movies with 7 new movies added each week.

Does anyone subscribe to this and is it worth the £5 monthly fee?

They also come in HD

Re: Picture Box - Value for Money Yes or No
 

Depends on your taste in films.
Keep checking the page to see the available films every couple of weeks, then decide.
It's basically down to the users taste in films as everyone loves something different :)

Re: Picture Box - Value for Money Yes or No
 

May be a good sweentener for VIP customers in light of the HD charge.

Re: Picture Box - Value for Money Yes or No
 

I use it. Normally a couple of films a week that I would watch in HD..

Re: Picture Box - Value for Money Yes or No
 

No had it for a few months but rarely watched it. It was always films like Jaws and Godfather that ye'd seen heaps of times:(

Re: Picture Box - Value for Money Yes or No
 

Sometimes i like to watch them in silence. [img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

Freak;)

Re: Picture Box - Value for Money Yes or No
 

i personally don't think their film choice is worth the money. But everyone have different tastes.

Re: Picture Box - Value for Money Yes or No
 

i agree the film choice is crap, not worth £5.00 per month for the amount of times we watch it

Re: Picture Box - Value for Money Yes or No
 

i think it should be included on vip or £3 per month on other tariffs at the moment imo i dont think its value for money

Re: Picture Box - Value for Money Yes or No
 

the problem is that if you are on vip, the films have been on sky movies for a year, then film 4, then picture box. Such as 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' and 'out of sight' which have been on sky recently.

If you don't have sky, then it is ok.

Re: Picture Box - Value for Money Yes or No
 

I get at least one HD film a week out of it... £1.25 a film at most.

Same with Sky Movies about 1 or 2 films per week, watched my first ever film4 movie last night (gangs of ny) and the advertising bugged the hell out of me so it'll be the last I watch that channel I think.

yes, PB is worth the fiver.

Re: Picture Box - Value for Money Yes or No
 

However if there weren't to be any adverts, then Film4 would have to become premium, or not broadcast at all.

Re: Picture Box - Value for Money Yes or No
 

Adverts half way through, quarter way through even but it felt like every five minutes. If they got the balance right they'd have more viewers and therefore more revenue per advert however adverts are a turn off when they totally disrupt viewing IMO.

Re: Picture Box - Value for Money Yes or No
 

Its got to be worth a fiver a month, even if you watch just two films a month its paid for itself.

Re: Picture Box - Value for Money Yes or No
 

Film 4 was a premium channel when it first started.It had some good films then, some of them were UK premiers as well.

Re: Picture Box - Value for Money Yes or No
 

I'm kind of agreeing - just seen next weeks line up and I would watch them all.

I think I might go for it or even better if they include it in the VIP package

Re: Picture Box - Value for Money Yes or No
 

I agree, was watching There's no business like show business the other day, and they broke for adverts in the middle of a musical number.

Re: Picture Box - Value for Money Yes or No
 

Well after ordering I have had this for two months now and think its work every penny, really good line up and HD content just got bigger.

I think apart from recent releases Sky show on Sky Prem Picture box matches if not beats the rest of Sky channels.

Re: Picture Box - Value for Money Yes or No
 

Just checked what is showing and it is films that I've seen loads of times before, in fact Liar, Liar is on at the moment and Bourne Ultimatum was on the other night.

I guess it also depends what package you're on too, for example I sub to Sky Sports already so it will cost me an extra £7/month to add SD movies. For only a couple more pounds I would personally do that instead.
