we just have the basic package as my social life is the telly n internet too!
But we do get a basic package for lovefilm as I think the skybox office is rubbish n too expensive!
Lovefilms great no subscription n so much cheaper than going to our local "movieland" at 3.50 a rental!
Final IVA payment made in April 2013, never ever thought we could do it or get through it but we did! X

Couldn't be doing with Lovefilm at all! I don't do Box Office, I prefer to wait until it arrives on normal films.

I cannot remember when I last rented a film.

I don't do scary films at all. Daughter loves them!

Having said that, I have seen The Exorcist and though it was the biggest load of rubbish I had ever seen!

I rarely watch films. I had a Lovefilm subscription but cancelled it when I'd rented all their Peter Kay DVDs!

We don't watch many, but I do love the option of being able to watch films when I want to.

Would never rent them though - either watch Sky Movies or buy the DVD.

I don't personally rent DVD's, if I like a film I normally borrow it off a friend if they have it, I'm useless and have the concentration span of a goldfish most of the time so very rarely sit down and watch a film or I've lost the plot before it's begun.
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.

We rang Sky to see about the Sky+ box and were told that it would be £199 plus £60 installation, or they could send us the box for the same price and just charge us £30 for us to fit it ouselves!

We argued with them and eventually got a refurbished box for free and installation cost £15.

Perhaps worth trying that?

You don't have to take out an HD subscription either, so it shouldn't cost you anymore a month.
