I've got just a standard broadband (Microsof P.C.) (8.5 megab. speed at 6 pm -> busy time) and the quality of picture and the sound is superb. Blinkbox is a pay as you go service, so you do not need to be forced to watch movies if you haven't got time.

H.D. streaming is a little more expensive but as I said the standard service is superb.

Blinkbox is a winner.

In summary, I would recommend BlinkBox to a friend.

Had slight issue with buffering to start. I meant to get 20 Mb connection but found out that at times my connection dropped below 2Mb which caused the buffering. Got that sorted with my ISP and it's been happy streaming since.

Customer Support is very helpful, the manager emailed me and apologised and also extended my rental period. This gives me confidence in using the site.
Definitely recommend it !!

In summary, I would recommend BlinkBox to a friend.

I don't usually write reviews on anything but after reading all these negative reviews about Blinkbox I was quite shocked and thought I needed to say my piece!

I have been using Blinkbox for the last 1 1/2 - 2 years and have never experienced a single problem with playback and I use it every month! They have a huge selection of films to choose from, from old titles up to some of the most recent. They have some decent promotions running including "Movie Mondays" which although are not always the greatest selection, they quite often have a great pick. All these People complaining of poor streaming and not worth a pound, I think you need to look at your internet connections and computer specs before pointing fingers. I personally run the Xbox 360 app on a BT Wireless connection and have been happy since I started using the service.

I can't comment on customer service as I have never needed to contact them, although I would hope if I ever needed to contact them I wouldn't run into any problems.

Might I add that its not a subscription service, so there are no contracts or minimum... (Read the full review)

Great site for watching the latest releases.
They have a good selection of movies / Genres.
No subscription so I only pay for what I view....big plus point!
Had a slight issue and their support team was really helpful, fast and efficient. I received a message saying that someone will get back to me within 6 hours but I received an email within 15 min!!! Great service.
Must try site!!

In summary, I would recommend BlinkBox to a friend.

Really good selection of movies sets blinkbox apart from other services. However the navigation and search need improving and the film quality isn't amazing. However compared to other services blinkbox is by far my favourite.

In summary, I would recommend BlinkBox to a friend.

Just signed up to blinkbox and watched True Grit. I was slightly apprehensive reading the negative review on here so before spending money on anything I signed up (which is free) and tested the quality with one of the free movies on offer. After finding none of the judder mentioned in the previous review, I paid £2.99 to 'rent' a film. Maybe it

Good points:
- Very easy to sign up and find films
- Nice website layout
- Cheaper than renting a physical DVD/itunes

Bad:
- Adverts on free films
- More of a hassle to set up than just putting a dvd in the player

Conclusion: Would highly recommend for a cheap (and legal) way of watching newly released films online. In my opinion superior to itunes in this respect, which can be a bit of a rip off.

In summary, I would recommend BlinkBox to a friend.
