Generally very good, but limited to PC use/playback. Can't get an app for my smart tv or my playstation (3 or 4) so having to plug my PC into tv to watch is a pain. Could do with some cheaper Buy opti... See more

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great service!

This is great - the option of buying or renting is excellent. Instant download is fantastic and much more reasonable than other services.

Good Content, but rental doesn't last long enough

Great that Blinkbox contains pretty much anything I want to watch, but I've stopped using it for anything other than the most recent movies now. If I don't watch a movie within the first few weeks of it being released on Blinkbox, the rental option gets removed and you can only buy it, which makes the system pretty much useless as you then have to pay £13/£14 for a digital copy which will be appearing on Netflix in the following few weeks. Why does the rental option get removed? It's the most useful feature of the system.

Could be cheaper

Considering the deals we used to get at video rental outlets I feel there is a price cartel going on as all online streaming services seem to cost the same. In theory the overall overheads should be less.
Also the releases for streaming don't correspond closely to blu-ray or DVDs release. However as streaming companies go Blinkbox is good. So come on Blinkbox move deals and incentives to reach 5 stars.

Blinkbox

Great way to purchase films but it's easy to lose track of films you already have unless you go through all your films. I ended up buying same film twice. Would be much better if it would tell you that you already have the film before you purchase. Major drawback this and hence only 3 stars sort this out and I would give 5 stars.

I like the idea

I think it's a good but I would like to be able to watch the movie more than once especially if it's a kids movie. So it could work out very expensive

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

good. dropped to SD a couple of times but mostly i was receiving full 1080p

Good system and attractive user environment. The movie seemed to stream well but did drop to SD occasionally. I have a 152Mb virgin connection so when the picture was at SD i did look at my internet connection and could see no problems hence i'm pretty sure it is a bandwidth issue with blink box.

However, the movie was great (Bad Education: The Movie) and with discount codes applied it only cost me £1.20 for HD rental so no complaints!
