Blinkbox/Xbox

Hello,
Hopefully someone will know what I'm on about.....

We've got Blinkbox on our xbox, and last week watched 'Contagion' through it (although it kept stopping to stream, soooo annoying!)
Anyhoo, it seems that you have to go online, for us via the laptop, buy or rent the film, which then goes into the 'video library', then you acces that via blinkbox on the xbox, and hey presto, you can watch your film.

However, blinkbox also has loads of free films and tv episodes, but as you don't buy or rent them, they don't go into the 'video library'. Is there any way to watch blinkboxs free content via the xbox?

We have got a cable to connect laptop to tv, so do have that option, but the picture quality is much better through the xbox.

Hope that made sense!!!

Thanks in advance, Emma :)

    The blinkbox app for Xbox is not the full blinkbox. It would appear the only content you can access is the paid for content. Bit of a con really
    Mansion TV. Avoid at all cost's :j
