Currently have sky but also have netflix

Sky are offering me sky movies package for just £4 extra month.

Better stuff on sky movies than netflix?

If so i would cancel netflix

I think there's more variety on sky movies, a few i have tried watching on Netflix are unavailable.

Do you watch US tv shows?

The_One · 7 Jan 2014 at 21:41

only current us shows i watch are

Homeland
Sons of Anarchy
Walking Dead

but all are finished now anyway

They're totally different. I would keep Netflix over sky movies.
There certainly isn't more variety on sky movies, that couldn't be further from the truth, its an absolutely tiny catalogue.

Sky movies - extremely limited choice but new
Netflix - huge catalogue of TV as well movies, but doesn't have newer stuff thanks to sky having exclusivity deals.

you get on demand with sky movies though which has a massive catalogue of movies

It really isn't its tiny, I've got both.

Sky movies I use once a fortnight roughly for a new premier, Netflix on the other hand gets used most days.

theres over 500 films on sky movies on demand thats way more than whats on my netflix? :confused:

You what, Netflix has many many many times that.

In the last 12 months alone over 1000 movies have been released on Netflix uk, let alone series, documentaries, existing films., us/Canada/Brazil etc.

Have you tried a US-unblocker for netflix? Gets you all the Us content aswell, so makes an already huge netflix bigger!

Netflix can be a bit funny on that aspect - theres a lot more on it than it looks when you start searching and some stuff will randomly popup on suggestions/popular, etc. that you didn't even know was on the site

whats points in having thousands of movies on netflix if you cant search/browse them properly?

when you view the categories on ps4 etc it shows about 50 per category and thats it :confused:

Use sites like

And

That's a tiny fraction of the content.
You can search by name, but the general categories aren't very good.
It also depends on which app you have win8 app seems to show more than the ios app.
