Bad quality, looks likes a ripped off DVD! Buffering every 5 mins so I just gave up. Stick to Netflix they clearly know what they're doing.

In summary, I would not recommend BlinkBox to a friend.

Was great until we bought/rented a few things and while it took our money, didn't work. Just said "Unexpected Error". There is no number to call customer service and the email service is a joke. You report it and they tell you that they "we are aware of "an unexpected error has occurred" and "your problem has been deemed solved". While it still doesn't work, the only advice they give you is that their engineers are working on the problem and to check the website for updates". There is no one you can speak to, no way of complaining or even getting your money back

In summary, I would not recommend BlinkBox to a friend.

Do not waste your money! Stops every 5 minutes then eventually stops the movie all together so you have to start all over again!! If your renting and it kicks you off twice you then cannot finish watching it!

Rip off being charged for movies you can't watch!

In summary, I would not recommend BlinkBox to a friend.

Utterly useless. Can't watch a film without it stopping every few minutes. Image quality is also poor. Simply not fit for purpose so I don't care if the software, navigation or support is any good it's irrelevant.

In summary, I would not recommend BlinkBox to a friend.

I have just spent an hour trying to register with Blinkbox and to register a £5 moviecard purchased from Tesco. It has been an unhappy process - the actual registration took four attempts (the only page that was working correctly was the one which took my bank details!!) Having finally after 45mins managed to sign up, I was unable to register the moviecard. I was told to report error code B001 to customer services - but after 15 minutes of searching I found no results for customer services! How frustrating - I'm sure I'm not the sharpest tool in the box, but I imagine there's got to be a better way than this, for the average person trying to sign up and put credit on the account!

In summary, I would not recommend BlinkBox to a friend.

Quality not great seems like HD /digital is going backwards.... Wish I d of used blockbusters more now. Bad quality, digital data, DRM, limited on which device can watch on.. Come on is the industry that paranoid about copyright??? Keep it up, can only be a good thing... People will start looking for other forms of entainment. Dare I say even outside.

In summary, I would not recommend BlinkBox to a friend.

If you want to sit at your pc and watch movies OK. If you have a smart tv and a good Wi-Fi signal OK, but if like me you want to buy films to watch when your on holiday abroad then forget it. You can't download to a portable device and you can't transfer from a pc to a portable device. And even if you are outside the UK and have a good signal you can't watch the films you have paid for.
I wasted money on 5 films that I can only watch at home on my pc

In summary, I would not recommend BlinkBox to a friend.

Blink box is absolutely rubbish ever since they got rid of free movies it has been a no go site and if they do not reintroduce free movies they might as well remove the sight.

In summary, I would not recommend BlinkBox to a friend.

Signed up for offer, paid for film,film wouldn't play on site, so downloaded, still wouldn't play, spent over 2 hours messing with silverlite software, to no joy.Backwards and forwards to site.
Better before TESCO, simple and easy to use now a nightmare.

In summary, I would not recommend BlinkBox to a friend.

The good - there are a reasonable number of films/TV etc

The bad - The interface is not very clear and does not match the instructions. Technical help claims 24 hour turnaround - try 124 and the reply doesn't even match the question; just a cut and paste from something else.

Avoid like the plague

In summary, I would not recommend BlinkBox to a friend.
