This is why i prefer Netflix over Amazon with Netflix you see a show on it's service and you can watch that show aslong as you're a subscriber with Amazon some shows are included in your subscription some are ppv.
That does wind me up, I can understand they charge for the Atlantic stuff and also the pay tv stuff, but that was FTA. It's like Sky Sports and Movies, blatant profiteering. It's not right, but alas it is good business sense. Thankfully they don't charge extra on the lovefilm by post service. I may have to wait a little longer to get them, but at least I am not being ripped off by amazon this way. It astonishes me how much money we (me included) all spend on TV. I don't watch three quarters of the channels, but I continue pay the money because I have become a HD snob..
