I don't 'tart' and I use Tesco DVD rental. I haven't had a problem with them and they seem quite reasonable.

I use Amazon and have found the service very good. One of the dvd's they sent was faulty so complained and they sent me another (of the same film) and gave me 2 free dvd's to rent! Does anyone think that Tesco's is trying to take over - did anyone see that documentary? :eek:

+1 for Amazon - their range is seriously huge and you can get more offbeat/old stuff - e.g. Old series of auf weidersehen pet.

also have had occurance where due to a small hickup (and they are rare indeed) they gave me two extra free rentals.

Good value too.

been using them for ages

Ye i also use tescos. They are the cheapest unlimited dvd rental that i have found and am very happy with their service. They seem to have a good range of dvd's and you can get another dvd within two days of posting depending on the pick up times at post boxes. Plus i think you get tesco clubcard points aswell so that is a bonus.I like alot of rare films and asian films and there is only one film that i cannot get through tesco and i dont seem to be able to find it on any of the unlimited rental services. It just depends on what type of rental you want. If you want a limited number of dvds a month or unlimited for example if you will only watch 2-4 films it is probably better to get a limited but anything above 5 a month it is probably better to get unlimite as with tesco's i think this works out at around £1.60 each so that is pretty good value compared to say blockbusters(£3.50 a film for 1 night!)I tend to get 10+ a month so this works out at around 80p per film! For unlimited i would say for all round Tesco is very good(price, Communication & range)

similar price to my Amazon deal that - up to 6 discs (3 at a time) for £9.99 - £1.66 a disc.

turnaround time is very impressive indeed.

get cashback through quidco for taking a free trial with blockbuster. I had no probs with this (except that I haven't received my cashback yet)

Avoid LoveFilm as they keep taking your money even after you cancel your trial.

I'm with Lovefilm and got 3 months free with them. I am going to continue my subscription as the service is very fast. I saw Tesco and know that it is powered by Lovefilm but is cheaper (only about £1.03pm) so I emailed them and they will give me the subscription for the same price as if I was with Tesco. This of course would save me from canelling with Lovefilm and going with tesco but yet still being a Lovefilm customer

Definitely Amazon - Tesco is also similar price but Amazon has a bigger range. I love them, their service is brilliant, no problems so far... and I have been with them a year. They have also reduced one of their packages, the 2 DVDs a month is now only £3.99

Has anyone used easycinema?

You don't pay a monthly fee, you just top-up your account with a certain amount of credit - £7.96, £13.93 or £19.90.
Each DVD you rent then costs £1.99 and you keep it for as long as you want.

Just wondered if anyone else has used it as I am thinking of signing up as it means that if there is a month whenever you don't want to rent anything you do not have to pay any fees.

Not likely to be an issue for me - I have over 200 titles on my rental list :rotfl: :rotfl:
