Default LoveFilm Instant.

I am thinking of signing up to LoveFilm and I know they send out 1 disc at a time , 3 times a month , with instant included for £9.99. But how much streaming can I get ? It says I can get 3 at once (on different devices) but can I watch a movie every night or is there a limit ?

There's no limit on how many you can stream. But love film and Netflix are crap, the catalogue is so old it's unreal.

Netflix being the better out of the two

I used to have Lovefilm and got dvd's delivered to my house every week but in the end I got sick of sending back unwatchable dvd's that were full of scratches and cancelled my subscription which was a challenge in itself as they wouldn't cancel it until they received the dvds back but as soon as I'd sent them back they would send me more out - the office had trouble communicating with the warehouse it seemed... probably down to the language barrier as it's full of immigrants.

I'll give it a 30 day free trial to see how it is.

just signed up (after comparing to Netflix library) and am having my doubts. The posted Bluray library is ok at the min , but i think it will depend on how soon they bring out new releases as i can find a few i want , but not loads. Also watched an online movie via Xbox and the quality of HD is pretty good , but only found out my Panasonic TV only has Netflix app , and no streaming on my phone either. Luckily i have my laptop linked up to my tv upstairs , and my Xbox will feed the Panasonic. Netflix seems better for streaming capabilities and devices that can stream , and good TV series but rubbish movies , and LoveFilm is the opposite !

Notice some expiry dates on the streaming movies ? They dont even seem to have any classics either ? I just would have thought with the likes of Xtravision etc closing because of online shops , that the online rental places would be all over it.

FFS i have a better library of DVD and Blurays under my stairs , i might start up my own rental scheme !

The fact the catalogue is so old is why I use netflix, great way to catch up on old series you may have missed.

I'm so far behind on Movies that Netflix works for me, all the titles the the pirates were watching years ago are new to me.

I've run out of documentaries on UK and US Netflx now, so moved to Canadian. Hola Unblocker is your friend.
