Default Do you subscribe to any On Demand or Streaming services?
Like Netflix or Blinkbox for example?

I've got Netflix and Now TV. Netflix is great and Now TV is okay, I mainly use it for the Sky Atlantic stuff. I'll probably end up getting rid of it after GoT is over and I've started and finished watching True Detective.

Not much different movies but if it's TV shows you're after it's a godsend. so much better stuff. not quite sure how to watch it on your TV but if you download Hola unblocker for chrome or firefox you just need to press the american flag and go to netflix.com and you got it

No I don't see the point, normally I'll just torrent something if I want to watch it

Netflix, although my Dad pays for it (I've got my own profile). I never saw the point before but honestly I love it now, it's just so simple especially when I'm in bed and want to watch something. 3 taps on my iPad and bam, I've got a movie to watch.

Thats Wise of you to use Sky's Now TV


For me
SkyHD on my LG LED 3-D 32"
VirginHD on my Sony LCD 28"
FreesatHD on my 29"
SkyHD on SkyNewsHD 26" LED
Virgin on a 10" LCD


Is enough Dezzy.



Having SkyAtlanticHD
and Sky 3-D which shows 3-D films each week Free
are top notch


and of Course Free Sky on the go
on my Ipad

Same here!
I tend to go for direct downloads rather than torrents 'cause they're much quicker but i use torrents from time to time if i can't find something anywhere else. Now that i've got a good fiber optic broadband connection (around 30mb) i can get much better torrent speeds though.
I'll even download some shows that i could just watch on TV just so i can watch the show without any ads disrupting my viewing pleasure.

I get to watch any show i want from anywhere in the World off any TV Channel or Subscription service and it doesn't cost me a single penny!
