Its not for everyone, I didn't think it would suit me as we love watching movies, but decided to subscribe and to get rid of Sky Movies and save money in the process even though Sky shows more newer films.

re: Netflix/Streaming Services

I'm enjoying what netflix has to offer for now. Particularly enjoying Sons of Anarchy and House of cards. I'll try some of the others when I have time.

I'd definitely keep if they could sort the profiles out on tivo. As things stand my kids can only use it when I'm around which isn't ideal.

You can do it now on Netflix via the settings on the website

re: Netflix/Streaming Services

Finished Breaking Bad last night, will now watch Season 3 of Nurse Jackie (BBC2 had it up to Season 2 before it disappeared onto Sky Atlantic - http://www.theguardian.com/media/201...o-sky-atlantic) before moving onto either Orange Is..., Hemlock Grove or House of Cards... cannot decide which yet

You can't use profiles on the tivo so what ever setting I apply to my profile applies to the tivo.

Even if the parental settings are set low the images of horror movies are still visible. It's good that the movies can't be viewed but it also means I have to keep changing the settings anytime I want to watch House of cards, etc.

It is a work around but it is a nuisance.

I'd suggest you watch Orange and House of Cards before Hemlock, in any order as they are both excellent. Hemlock Grove while still good is easily the weakest of their series and is aimed more at a younger audience than the other 2.

re: Netflix/Streaming Services

Netflix is pretty darn good after reviewing it over the christmas period. May subscribe for a further few months. If we'd got that in the XL package for no extra price i'd be quite tolerant of the further price increase in february. Just a shame its not included!

Hopefully they start experimenting with higher tiers that offer more than just extra devices. I wouldn't mind paying a little more for DTS audio for example.
You might find they have changed the back end software used to provide the service so they can offer multiple tiers and this one non hd-stream to one device for a dollar less tier is merely a test for that.

re: Netflix/Streaming Services

A single user, SD only stream at a lower price might interest people who only watch Netflix while commuting to work etc. on their smart phone or low res tablet.

Netflix may also have in mind bundling it with some mobile phone plans like they do with music services such as Spotify?

Totally agree. I've started watching OITNB and Lillehammer.

I've also watched all 3 seasons of Weeds, i had to get a DNS into my SmartTV so i can watch the rest of it.

What sets it apart from the rest for me is 1080p streaming with 5.1 audio. Do Lovefilm do 5.1 audio ?

Not generally. I think I saw something that said they were introducing it on one specific device, though memory is a bit hazy as it was a while ago that I saw it.

I agree! There's more decent material on Netflix than all the Sky channels put together (sport excluded of course)!
