Son has been talking about us signing up to Netflix. We have been looking at the various options on offer.

Does anyone on here use it?

Any opinions please?

    Yes we do. I think it's good for tv series you may have missed. Am currently watching The Killing and Breaking Bad for example. Not such a good selection of films as iTunes however but miles cheaper.

    It's very good for TV series both UK and USA. Film-wise I don't find it great because I mainly watch foreign/arty/old stuff and their selection is not great. I don't think it beats Lovefilm DVD by post, but does beat Lovefilm Instant.

    We've just joined on a 30 day free trial and I really like it!

    We have it, I thunk we get our money's worth, OH watches alot on his tablet, DD watches alot of the childrens TV on her laptop and we watch films on the TV.

    The only thing that irks is that if you watch via the x-box you have to pay for live Gold, it's free on the wii but not as good quality.

    We used to have it for streaming but never really got time to use it. We have Sky so just use that instead. Probably more worth it if you have an iPad and want to watch on the move.
