We used to have SKY as we got it cheap and we only used it for movies and sport, now we dont have it we are tempted to go with Love FIlm, I understand the concept and how it works, and it seems good to me
Anyone that has it is there any aspect of it you dont like?
Im looking at the £9.99 for 2 x discs and unlimited streaming.

I've had it for ages, would cancel it if I could be bothered ringing them up 
It's great for ~6months or so as you get to watch all those films which were on your "I need to get round to watching that" list, but after that I just find I'm wasting my sub waiting for a new film to come out which I want to watch.

I've had it for years. I always find loads to watch and theres about 30 films on my wanted list atm.
Never had any major isssues apart from the occasional scratched disc etc, but they sort it out for you ASAP.

i use to have it about 3 years ago, disc came, would copy it and send it back.
Now i find it easier to download off the net as there are (upto 2 weeks agao) reliable sources.

Because I'm too lazy to google, can you get HD streams from netflix?

I didnt like lovefilm when I joined, cause the DVDs I wanted were on my wait list for like 3 months and they kept just sending me the ones I wasnt that bothered about, could be better now its streaming.

I've had it for years, only problem is I always take ages to get round to watching anything  Can't fault the service though, can post a disc back Monday morning and have the next one Wednesday, sometimes Tuesday if I get to the post box before the collection. Streaming is pretty good, wouldn't say it was any worse than an upscaled DVD, but it adapts to your connection so the better your connection, the better the quality.

There's no way I'd stream from a shitty xbox though...
The humm would be annoying.

If it was the fans whirring on a MBP then it'd be fine 
Streaming quality of Love Film is pretty poor but their DVD service is not too bad. Personally i've stuck with 'purchasing' films from the internet shops - better quality and bigger selection

Girlfriend has it - was on 2 discs and not sure on what she had for streaming, but they updated her to 3 discs F.O.C just before Christmas.
Still not sure what her streaming deal is, but we've watched a few through her PS3 recently - quality seemed good enough to me, but I don't get all that fussed about HD tbh!!

Had it for a bit, the discs are usually in a right state mind, never found time to watch them so gave it up.
