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,
I have Picture Box and it's a bit mediocre really with not an awful lot of choice.

It would be good if the rights issue could be sorted out and the streaming of TV programmes and films given to providers on a non exclusive basis, separate from linear TV rights.

Maybe the market will sort itself out without the need for regulation.
