    Film Movie rental options?

    Hi all

    I wondered if there are many options for (legally) streaming movies in the UK?

    I've rented a few films on the Virgin Media service and also via the xbox, but these are the only viable options I have seen, and they're quite pricey (Xbox is cheaper than VM).

    Any other services that people use?

    Thanks

    Shooooooo-ryuken!

    Yes mate, thanks.

    Sorry, I wasn't clear in my original post - I'm talking about new release movies. So for right now, things like Prometheus, The Avengers etc.

    Being looking into his myself.

    We've got Sky so the Sky store via the Sky box is one option.

    Think Blinkbox is another choice?

    I know you said legally, but Apple tv 2 jailbroken is the heart of my home system, tv shows from all around the world, and all the latest films even the crappy cam versions with authentic heads bobbing and popcorn throwing lol.
    Only in Britain….do we use the word “politics” to describe the process of Government. “Poli” in Latin meaning “many” and “tics” meaning “bloodsucking
    creatures”

    Thanks to consoles

    Must say I agree with this we have an atv2 in the living room and I have a raspberry Pi in my games room.
    Both running xbmc and navix with many added extras.
