Wuaki - Film streaming

Come across Wuaki.

Anybody got it? Half the price of Netflix for early subscribers and looks to have a fairly decent content.

Any good?

No idea, but noticed that it came as a pre-installed app on my new Samsung TV. Obviously I deleted it.

Why obviously?

I got it for xbox a few days ago for the 2.99 for life offer and I am not impressed. It works ok at off peak times but it stops to buffer a lot or refuse to load at all during peak hours. Their help pages suggest checking router, cables and maybe contacting ISP but NOWTV just works all the time. A little searching brings up people with fibre complaining about buffering so it has to be their servers rather than my connection.
Also the selection isn't that great, some of the old films included with netflix are still 2.49 to rent on top of WUAKI plus.

If you were considering NOWTV I signed up for the free month and turned off the auto subscription. The deal was 1st 3 months for £8/month, then £16/month after but I got an email a couple of days before the end of the first month offering 6 months at £4/month so I have kept it for now.
There are no series and they cycle the films and so there is less choice but they are meant to be newer, 4 films every Friday.

I think i'll stick with Netflix.
