Lovefilm streaming how many devices

In just 12 months, internet-viewers have increased by a whopping percent, but let's not take that as a sign of the death of physical media just yet. Whilst the company itself sees its future in the streaming realm, the postal-arm of the business also grew by 25 percent in the same period. Our members crave instant on-demand access. Lovefilm certainly seems to be on the charm offensive to secure those movie viewing eyes.

The HD library is rolling out now, and currently includes only a selection of films and TV shows, but is set to expand over the coming months.

So if you're a paid up member, you can start browsing the library today, and hunt out those HD badges. The introduction of HD quality content further strengthens the offering and marks another key milestone in delivering our members the best possible service with exceptional value.

These two bruisers have been talking a good fight, but the time has come to see which is the true champ. Round one went to Netflix , which landed its first jab, launching a single subscription package that lets users gorge themselves on a mixture of films and TV shows. With the two squaring up, we paid up for ringside seats to watch the pair slug it out. Read on for our round-by-round score card. The pricing of Netflix couldn't be much simpler.

Lovefilm also operates a disc-by-post service in the UK, so there are various subscription packages available. In this review, we're only looking at Lovefilm's streaming as it's the option that most closely matches that of Netflix. These are movies the studios have put in their pay-per-view 'window', so they won't be on Netflix at all.

One thing we really like about both services is that they don't tie you into a contract. You pay per month and if you want to cancel -- so long as you do so before the end of the month -- you won't be charged again. Both sites make it easy to cancel. Unlike some services that demand you send a long-hand letter by carrier pigeon before cancelling your account, you just log into your Netflix or Lovefilm account details and click a button.

There seem to be no sharp practices at work. The web interfaces for both services have their strengths and weaknesses and we weren't overly fond of either.

The Netflix interface tries to simplify things too much by relying on its matching engine to suggest stuff for you to watch. The problem is that due to the currently limited library, a lot of the categories are filled with the same titles. It feels like the library is being hidden from you as there's no way to simply browse through it.

Instead, you have to perform direct searches to find what you want. Lovefilm, on the other hand, makes it easy to browse its library.
