New Amazon Prime Streaming - total crap!
Discussion
We have watched the series pilots, all quite good, it has to be said, and we've watched the first episode of Vikings - season 2. But to be frank, there's just not enough decent material to keep us hooked. The way they fill the 'thousands of movies' quota is pretty dire - the quota is stacked to the rafters with utter s
t that's virtually unwatchable they're so bad!

I dont understand how rebranding means that a service that did works now does not.
Every time I try and do something on the website it is just a maze of new windows being opened without the option of the thing I want to do. Ironically, I cant even see how to cancel now.

Yes, somewhere in the depths of account settings or similar you can cancel the Prime Instant streaming and just have by post for around half the cost it used to be.
Yeh it's listed at £2.19 or something like that, billed separately on my CC too. We don't watch a lot of stuff on the online part, but it is good for the odd TV series (currently loving Parks & Rec) as well as the few newer films they put up. Let's just say we only tend to turn to the streaming if we don't have a disc to watch.

I think £4 for the Love Film postal service and £6 for Netflix seems like a good compromise

Cool, changed my account to disc only. Now only £2 per month (unlimited, one disc at a time). However I feel it will only be a matter of time before they bin the disc by post service.
That may be, and if this thread is anything to go by (and I'd like to see the national numbers) a lot are cancelling the streaming service, although I can imagine a lot of people are just being lazy and accepting.HereBeMonsters said:

I got Love film through my bank (RBS) however I didn't know this until I got an e-mail telling me that I now get unlimited streaming as part of the service. So I went to log in but found its now amazon live or some such.
Signed in with my amazon ID and all seemed well, but when I went to look at it, its very vague about how things cost, i.e. Prime is £0.00, Rent is say £3.50 etc, but mno where does it say how you download streaming as part of this love film, or how to rent DVD's.
I am also now terrified Amazon are going to bill me £70 when I don't even use prime, but as I have signed up to the amazon live video thing, I will get charged??
Speaking to a mate I may go Netflix instead. Bloody amazon and their ste!
