If you can find me a streaming service with anything like the selection Lovefilm's post service I'll gladly switch.
Fair point, Mrs Hearthly gets stuff from Lovefilm for Hearthly Jnr as it far surpasses what we can stream in terms of selection. We're already paying for Netflix but not the Amazon equivalent (whatever it's called), and I'm loathed to have two streaming subscriptions on the go which won't get used much, instead of one that doesn't get used much
We have digitially purchased a few things from Amazon though, like, Mrs Hearthly got Ice Age for Hearthly Jnr the other day for £6, and it says we can stream it now as many times as we like.
Personally I prefer the permanency of having films on the NAS, having learned the hard way that adding something to 'MY LIST' on Netflix and coming to watch it a couple of months later doesn't work very well if it's been removed from the service.....
It was always said that legitimate services need to be better than piracy for people to stop pirating things, and yet it seems to me that the streaming marketplace is becoming irritatingly complex, fragmented, and undependable. How many fucking subs are we supposed to have on the go at once to give a reasonable chance of there being one of them offering a particular film we want to watch at any given moment in time?
