[QUOTE 4592963, member: 9609"]Is there anywhere where you can just rent a film out now without getting involved in some contract, since the demise of the video shops it is very difficult to get to see recent films.

Amazon's Lovefilm - used this a lot when we lived in the UK, as we don't 'do' cinema
I think you can download films as well as getting them through the post (internet speed dependant of course)

Get a kindle fire stick with kodi installed.Then you can watch everything and pay nothing.

This seems to have went unnoticed, this is the future.

I've got an Android box with Kodi/Showbox, and all that free content is mind boggling. Technically, due to a quirk/oversight in the law, it's legal too, so long as you watch it as it streams and don't download it.

Watching films in glorious surround sound HD before they're even in the UK cinema is good stuff.

charity shops... buy the DVD for a pound or two and donate it back at your convenience.

Or local libraries. Or ebay (other online auction sites are available).

I was put off Prime by Jeremy Clarkson's TV ad - I have nightmares about those jowls![/QUOTE]

Exactly this for me.A card through the door with Jeremy Clarkson on.No thanks.

You wouldn't think Clarkson would fit through your letter box.

Found the Prime delivery to be good, but as you are asking about the streaming service, I find it terrible. Netflix is much better. Depends entirely on what you watch though.

Android Box.
Nuff said

Netflix have some great series, Breaking Bad, House of Cards, the films tend to be shite though. Amazon has better films and of late some decent series stuff too, Goliath is worth the entrance fee alone (almost).

SkyQ

Best thing to happen to T.V for years

 

[marinyork]

I think Netflix is better. The downside with netflix the lack of 4k is starting to be rectified. Also this new offline feature.

 

[Drago]

Sky Q is a lot of money when one considers the films are ridiculously old compared to the stuff available elsewhere for free.

A premier movie every day, today's is from 2016, yesterday's 2016, The Revenant last week(2015)
