If it wasn't for a few good Netflix originals I'm not sure I'd be subscribing , I do love the technology behind the service and it's great to have complete Boxsets however sadly most has been on the tv already.

That's why Now tv is so good I think, as it's a mix of on demand and live channels, with thirty day catch up for those channels, so currently the last four episodes of Modern Family are still available to view. Yesterday I caught up on Line of Duty from the night before, the last three episodes of Modern Family and the last 2 of Elementary. All of which are now available to me through Virgin and Now tv, so I'm certainly not keen to continue paying for both services. I've been enjoying True Detective so currently Now TV is ahead. Actually the only thing really putting me off going is losing the ability to record shows and the fact that I don't have a tv aerial point and I'd still want freeview, but I'm starting to think the initial outlay of having one installed and then buying a decent freeview+ box will be worth it in the long run.
