Cheers PB. Annoyingly, Netflix only have series 4 of Spirial (there are 5) and the first for Braquo. I have not checked any of the other Netflix regions yet. I probably should, it might help me finally make a decision on joining them.

They also offer over the top content such as Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, Banshee and the latest movies but it'll cost you £1.89 per episode or £4.49 per movie. Personally I don't go anywhere near this part of the service and deliberately set a random pin number, which I can't remember, stopping me from ever using the service.
If Netflix and Blinkbox had a baby, it would be Amazon Instant video 
30 free day trial might be worth trying:

The trouble is Chad, all the TV stuff I want to watch is pretty much chargable. There is a great deal of choice on there, but the for me, the free film choices are not the greatest and the ones I would choose to watch are the chargable ones.
Pure profiteering on their part, as I pointed out to them in the e-mail I sent them.

Yup, I think all TV companies will continue to fleece the people who let apathy stop them getting a better deal. My TV deal is up in May, and I will be getting a better deal from VM or I will pester my new landlord for a Sky dish and get a decent deal from them!
In fairness to OB, it will be interesting to see what Sky, VM, et al all do to counter act the rise of the streaming services. I imagine they will fight for a lot more boxsets and bundle them "free" with the packages. I am happy to be thought an idiot, but I would have thought Sky could quite easily get first refusal/exclusivity from Fox for their boxsets if things ever got that bad. Also, if they have helped fund other channels in the past, surely they will be put immense pressure on those companies for boxsets.
Sky, VM et al will not be going away for many a long year in my eyes.
