Netflix Or Similar For UK?

[KrisEagling]

Hey Everyone

Firstly Happy Late New Year 🙂

Quick question for you, is there a streaming service similar to Netflix in the US for iPad owners here in the UK. I've had a quick look but can only find DVD rentals such as LoveFilm and Blockbuster

Any help would be appreciated

Kris

Hey!

LoveFilm has an app out which allows for a Neflix-like streaming experience. I haven't tested this out but it may be good for you.

After expansion in Canada, Netflix says it will start looking at new markets, however.

Hope this helps!

Hi ConnorJack

Thanks very much for the information about LoveFilm and Netflix

Sadly the Lovefilm app is there to manage your rental list and I believe they picture trailers of films being streamed rather than the movie itself.

Although the news of Netflix is encouraging it may be a few years before they finally expand to the UK, where there is currently a big hole in the market for some sort of steaming service, which id be more than happy to pay £10pm for..

I hope someone is listening 🙂

EDIT

Sorry I have now noticed there are streaming services available, but for £6 or so you get 2 hours... And you have to pay £10 before you get unlimited and they dont have a a great range of new films to choose from..

Thanks
Kris

Not an on demand service but www.filmon.com offers a tv service. Only other alternative is iTunes.
