Aye, ok! You pop 2 disks in the post on Monday and receive another 2 on Wednesday? Really?
Yes, Most of the time that's is my experience. I signed up for both on the free trial period, mainly interested in the streaming services offered, my thoughts.
Netflix, much better quality, far quicker to stream & play than Lovefilm, able to use on Android tablets, had no issues with it.
Limited library, especially of films but they have a lot of TV shows I want to watch that I haven't seen before.
There should be a better way to look through films though it does learn as you use it.
Lovefilm, streaming service is not as good quality as Netflix, doesn't start as quickly either.
I don't like the interface for finding things on this either - especially TV shows, it may be that I need to learn how to use it but go I recently added TV, and you get a list of every single episode of a tv series - just give me the title of that show, otherwise I have to scroll through 4 pages of the same show!
For Streaming whilst they had more films, there wasn't that many new films - a lot of films I wanted to see I had to pay extra for!
I was however impressed with the lovefilm DVD service, very fast turn around!
Overall I found that after 3 weeks I'd used Netflix far more than Lovefilm simply because if I wanted to fill an hour then Netflix was an easier option to use.
I think I will keep Netflix until I've used up the Tv series & then reasses the film library.

Considering signing up for Better Call Saul in the next week. What else is on here worth watching TV shows wise? Is there a good selection of movies?
Probably better looking at a current(ish) thread in TV, Film & Radio than a 2-year old one here.

We have Netflix despite me not being one for tv watching, recently I watched Sons of Anarchy which I really enjoyed (last series was pony right enough although not on Netflix yet) Lilyhammer - mafia comedy set in Norway with Steve van Zandt of Sopranos/E Street band fame - really enjoyed that, and Suits which is a New York law office type thing which is rather good. Lots of Marvel and Jason Statham films...Considering signing up for Better Call Saul in the next week. What else is on here worth watching TV shows wise? Is there a good selection of movies?
