I haven't used it, but nearly everyone I know that does use it can't praise it highly enough.

Lovefilm player? - Brilliant! Would be nice if they had a HD streaming service, but then I just end up renting blu-rays anyway, so not really an issue =P

Only had 1 scratched disc (PS3 game kept freezing) in the 8 months I've had my sub, reported it and had a new copy the next day, on top of my standard number of discs. =)

Eh, Lovefilm is brilliant. Cry more.

Makes me wonder why you bother to buy a device that needs to be hacked to be made useful.

Having got used to Netflix (not awesome, but much much better) in the US, Lovefilm really is a shocking service.

I assume you have an Android device, do you have any idea how many people root them, are they useless as well then?

Think before you type. However, in principle I agree, heavy modification of a phone is a bit of a waste of time really.

I've only had one duff disc so far

. Though I haven't opened the packet that came today so I might have cursed it now!

Never used the online streaming mind.

I don't own any such devices. Also I thought an iPad was a tablet device, not a phone.

Indeed it is, but it all operates under the same system.

Do you not have a smartphone then? Why! :eek:

Still not streaming HD? Wow. :eek:

Ah ok.

I don't own a smartphone because I don't need or particularly want one. My cheapo Samsung phone does what I need a phone to do. It isn't made of glass so it won't break easily, and it's practically worthless so no-one wants to steal it.

LF have been fine for me. I've only ever had a couple of scratched disks and they've been replaced swiftly and without fuss. The only real problem has been the lack of Universal pictures which is quite a thorn in their side.

I gave up on Lovefilm and switched to Blockbuster. As I never seemed to be sent the new releases.

I had a copy of the new PotC film arrive in my letter box on release day

Lovefilm app works fine on my jailbroken IP4.

Hey, I love LoveFilm. We don't have an account, but they keep sending us random films obviously meant for someone else, but to our address!

Lovefilm are wicked, in the 2 years i have been with them I think I have had 2 broken discs and 1 lot I sent back never got there, this is hardly thier fault though. I love the app for my iphone and ipad2 they work without a problem at all.

+ the lovefilm player they just released is wicked.

Shame you haven't sorted it out then. Some person is paying for an interrupted service partly because of you.
