6 months later but I read this post whilst trawling the internet for alternatives to netflix in the uk. Good post
I have read reviews of just about every post-based rental service in the UK and apparently they will not give you your top choices and are slow or give scratched dvds etc. I am already put off but I would definitely subscribe to netflix if I could. Imagine wiring a pc through a tv directly connected to the web and having that instant watch feature. This is the future of movie watching
My wife pays £50 a month to sky and has the movies package. We haven't watched a single movie for a week because it's all trash.
In the new year, I will do the following - go over to virgin, have no movies package and get the amazing deal on the + box that you only get as a new customers (we still have the old sky box! sky want about £200+ for the upgrade!). Only trouble is, what about the movies?? I hear netflix will be providing a uk-based service. THE SOONER THE BETTER. I think I might buy some Netflix shares
hehe
