Blinkbox comes as a standard App on Samsung Smart TV's. The selection of films is quite good but I have less than a 30% success rate in watching them without severe technical hitches. I've come to the conclusion that they have insufficient server capacity during peak periods. The service is near useless between 6pm and midnight however if you watch the film you've bought that evening the following morning then it works fine.
I have a 24M business DSL line which rarley slows even at peak times and Lovefilm (another app supplied on Samsung Smart TV's) always works perfectly even at peak hours so I'm pretty sure the issue is with Blinkbox.
All in all until they fix their peak times capacity issue I wont be renting any more films from them.
In summary, I would not recommend BlinkBox to a friend.
