I regard the Lovefilm streaming content as an extra freebie to my Blueray rental.

For 9.99, I get 2 bluerays at home at any one time. Their turn around is very quick, so in theory, you could possibly get 4 films a week, so, 16 HD films with HD audio, a month for 9.99

HD films from sky, is very expensive in comparison and for me, just not worth the extra cost.

Netflix looks interesting; they don't have as much streaming content as Lovefilm, but my initial thoughts is that netflix has better content, with some in HD and 5.1 audio.

If I contiue with netflix after the free trial, as well as Lovefilm, it's stil a lot cheaper than Sky movies.
