Netflix or LoveFilm?

As the title really. Which one, or even any other I've never heard of.

Netflix with a subscription to http://www.unblock-us.com/, is the best provider of movies. It has Most films before sky movies and all costs under £10. Unblockus changes your location to any number of countries and Netflix then allows you to view the movie selection from that country.

Lovefilm has TV shows as well as films. The two streaming services are actually pretty similar. With Lovefilm you can pay more for the original DVD through the post service if you want to have a wider choice of programmes/films to watch and you want to see them earlier.

Yep that is what I do - fantastic value.

Do either of these companies allow you to download films/programmes for watching later as well as streaming?

I ask because I live in a rural area and only have a 2meg broadband which is nowhere near enough to watch streamed HD .

No, thier streaming service is just that, streaming.

with lovefilm you can get sent films in the post


There is also BlinkBox and NowTV but i dont think either are as good.
NowTV is just skymovies, but costs £15/month

I have both (I am a cinephile)!

It really depends on what sort of things you want to watch. I prefer streaming, but have had to keep my Lovefilm subscription because so many films I want are not available to stream. I do tend to watch a lot of foreign and obscure films. I also use Blinkbox only because I got lots of free rental codes via my Tesco clubcard vouchers. I often find that one will have a title that the other two don't.
