I tried Picture box when it first launched, but not much of the selection appealed to me. HD was good but it only had a stereo soundtrack. That's a while back, so they may have improoved the selection now.

In the end, I decided on blueray rentals from Lovefilm. Their free streaming content is not too bad, but tends to be older films (the well known ones, anyway). Again only stereo sound though. But considering it's free with your subscription, it's good.

Ideally (for me), Lovefilm should launch an HD monthly subscription service and VM should carry it via Tivo. I think it could be a while before that happens though,
