Tesco DVD rental

Has anyone tried this? On the face of it it looks very reasonable and a lot cheaper than sky box office...

Hi

Have been a subscriber to this almost a year - can really recommend it! We are on the 'one dvd at home' option which works really well for us (and is the cheapest )

May well give it a go then...

we signed up a couple of weeks ago after cancelling our full sky subscription - so far so good, if you use your head you can get a film for the weekend and a standup comedy/kids dvd or something for during the week on the 1 dvd at home service.

couple of little teething problems, mainly us getting used to setting it up but good value for money

We used Screen Select, who manage this for Tesco, for a while. A really great service, although we had a 'three at a time' deal for £10 a month. Massive selection of titles.

I use this. 2 titles at a time for £14ish I think it is. Has been really good so far.

was a member from the start 'til about 5mths ago. at the beginiing they were rubbish at getting you the latest 'blockbuster' to yuo anywhere near the release date OR you got it on the release date - very random - but then it sorted itself out after a couple of months. currently cancelled cos we weren't watching enough but they keep details so it can be fired up again quickly.

i also asked a few times for them to stock none region 2(?) dvds (like initial D!) but they hadn't started doing it when we stopped it.

Joined in November last year. Had all the blockbusters as our 1st choice and kept the 40/50 titles that they recommend in your list.
What we found was that the latest blockbusters would come (and in some cases still waiting) weeks/months are their release.

For example Charlie And... Chocolate Factory out on release 21st November, been in the 1st choice since then and never seen it.
Likewise Polar Express 12th Nov, Madagascar 28th Nov. The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Sept 5th. Never seen any of these.

I'm on the 1 DVD at a time, and when you consider that you watch 1-2 a week I think its a poor show.
I'm on the edge of quiting, (misses isnt).

I would not recommend them. But then dont know who else I would.
