Free PictureBox.....wow
 
As above, just got an e-mail about getting this service for the month of August for free, it came as a "tickle" for being a good customer, lol, i'd rather they gave me a discount than this garbage, there's only one or two movies that came out last year, and most in the 2000s, in fact there's nothing of interest to me really, but they may suit others.

Just goes to show, they're damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Isn't a free month of Picture Box for everybody?
We just had a notice pop up on the TV to say we've got a free month

Really is churlish to complain about getting free stuff, however some of the films are as old as Carl ;) Wouldn't pay a quid subscription for these tired old movies let alone 5.

Some of my favourite movies are "old" movies, the age of a movie bares no reflection on its quality.

I would say use this free month go watch some OLD movies you'll probably find a couple you really enjoy.

There are probably more interesting movies on FTA tv than there are on PB.

And to think it's owned by NBC Universal :shocked:

I used to subscribe to PB. Before we all got Sky Anytime Movies. After 6 months you pretty much seen em all and then they repeat em again.

The selection just confirms why I have never subscribed to PB
Sky Anytime is a hundred times better and free

I suppose PictureBox offers something to those who don't have SKY Movies / SKY Movies on demand via SKY Anytime.

Still think there is better films on terrestrial TV. As posted elsewhere, if you have TiVo and set up wishlists for specific movies types you'll quickly have a better selection of movies stored on your box to watch when you want without paying an extra penny over your current subscription.

There are a couple of films on there I might take a look at. Not bothered if I miss them though.
