Re: Streaming choices
I've had both Netflix and Prime for a while and much prefer Netflix - two major reasons:
1. I use unblockus (as mentioned earlier) giving access to all Netflix regions - the choice available is huge and makes Sky's 800 movies look paltry
2. A very high percentage of the catalog is available in 5.1 surround sound - important to me, the difference between stereo and 5.1 being similar to SD and HD picture quality in my mind.
I recently bought a Fire TV box (another £49 down the drain) in the hope that I'd be able to get 5.1 sound on Prime as Amazon intimated that it may be the fault of my Bluray player that there was no 5.1, even though Netflix worked fine. Sadly, still no 5.1 on Prime but I get surround sound on Netflix.
If you're happy with stereo then Prime has a good selection and I've found PQ to be very good and equal to that of Netflix. Just be careful where you click on Amazon as Amazon Instant Video (PPV) and Prime Instant Video (Subscription) are not always as clearly marked as they could be.
Hope this helps
