    tried lovefilm a long time ago. must be five years there abouts. second time around i tried free netflix 1 month. 2 years later, still subscribed. netflix has mostly older films and newer tv series. had a nice letter saying my subscribtion won't go up for two years. new members netflix will increase :) how rare is that these days!!!

    We adults have a fantastic selection of shows we have just never watched, last night up until 2:30am watching Sons of Anarchy (shattered this morning haha)

    SOA is pretty good, just waiting for the new series to start on C5.

    Lovefilm has become really lame since being taken over by Amazon (in my opinion), the menu alone just made me give up.

    I cancelled my lovefilm but am considering netflix.

    As Can1976 says, they have different varieties based on online viewing, or DVD viewing.

    Absolutely. I have just cancelled Lovefilm and am considering Netflix. My final film from Lovefilm had been randomly selected from the list of titles I wasn't fussed about seeing.

    They both have a few gems (mainly old but some recent'ish stuff)

    (Do the trials and potential cash back and see how you fare, look on my film thread for ideas)

    They both get stale after a while (depending on your tastes)


    Lovefilm though are generous, I'm on a 4 for 2 deal online retentions deal.

    Go for Netflix, better On-Demand as others have said, and you can hook up to the American one and get all the shows a little quicker!

    There's also NowTV, by Sky, never used it but looks pretty decent!

    Nowtv is boring if you have rented newer stuff or been to the flicks in the past year or so.

    They seem to pick off a lot of dross from the movie crowd. (Even on a retentions deal I left as got bored)

    I cancelled Love Film because they let me use up my dvd 'credits' for months on a boxed set and then by series 3 decided that they couldnt send it (this was after months of it being in 'short supply apparently'). Cancelled and spent the cash buying the dvds instead, Want to try net flix at some point but no idea how streaming films gets onto my TV as dont want to watch on a laptop.

    I watch Lovefilm instant and Netflix via my wii console.


    A streaming/media box/adaptor might have them too. (Roku?)

    I'm another for Netflix. My 4yr old uses it himself and there are hundreds of kids stuff. You can also set users so when my son clicks his name, only kids stuff appears whereas when I click my name I don't and get all the good horror films :D I have never used love film, always heard bad reviews or at least not a single praise.
    Without change there would be no butterflies
    If you don't like it, change it.    .
    The comments and advice I give are what I believe to be correct
    My phone likes to use full stops instead of spaces sometimes, I type too quickly and it would take forever to go back and change them all, so please excuse them!
