Blurb seems quite good lots of new movies, all 11 Sky Movie channels and Sky Sports to come? Mightbe worth jumping from Netflix for?

started to try and understand the ads this morning
Seems you can get iPlayer in the TV but you need another box

Seems quite pricey to me. Sure they have films earlier than Netflix but they don't seem to have any other content other than films, i.e. no documentaries no tv shows etc. Even at £8.99 I wouldn't move over utilities looks like that will quickly go to £15/month which is just way to high imo.

Guess it comes down to how badly you want the latest films.

Agreed, I too think £15 is steep, but if they start to add other content such as iPlayer (without the extra box), Sky Sports or other Sky channels it may be worth a punt.
But for 3 months at £9 might be worth cramming as many new movies in as possible. Having said that I spent a bit of time reading their FAQ and Community forum last night and they seem to have plenty of teething issues so maybe worth sitting on the fence a while longer.

Any updates on peoples views on this? 30 days free, 3 months at £8.99 or similar and then full rate.

It says no contract, and our internet can be patchy. Think we'll try the 30 days and if all is good, maybe try the 3 cheaper months as well then see how we feel in regards to the higher price. Need to double check the no contract aspect first though.

Any people using it at the moment care to share their experiences of the service?

I'd forgotten all about this - suffice to say I didn't sign up! Anyone else?
