Subscription TV
- Thread starter ronk
- Start date
The problem we have found with all of them, Netflix, NowTV, Amazon Prime etc, is that after you have had them a while unless you want to trawl through older stuff there doesnt seem to be that much added regularly especially films.
The other annoying thing is that everything is all thrown in together, old films with new, nothing alphabetically or done by years.
It could all do with being redesigned so that it is easier to find something up to date or new to watch.
Dont get me wrong there is a lot of stuff available but sometimes takes too long to find something if just searching randomly.
The other issue is that they are starting to put adverts in the programs and you have to pay extra to watch without adverts, I think at the moment this is Now TV.

I only have Netflix but agree with Nitrix; they don't upload new films very often. The choice of films is not great either.
Netflix do make some interesting documentaries, though. 'F1 drive to survive' being a stand-out for me.
Also if you like docu-dramas about drugs cartels and the like, Netflix know how to churn them out.
As subscription TV goes, Netflix are pretty good VFM at £10 a month, though IMO.

We've got netflix, amazon prime and disney plus. Amazon is great for a few choice things, like the grand tour or clarksons farm. But nearly everything else you have to pay for.
Netflix is my prefered one. If its on there, its included. Lots of netflix originals, both tv and films. But not many brand new films, or even big blockbusters from years gone. Occasionally a few good things come on.
And disney is great for disney and marvel. Great if you have kids, the entire disney back catalogue is on there.
Personally i prefer netflix. Has the best user interface and search feature, and plenty on there even if it doesnt have the latest blockbusters, but i dont think anything does.

She will probably like "The Crown" too. There are lots of drama series which Netflix make so are exclusive.ronk said:
Best thing with Netflix it's a rolling subscription, so you can cancel it at anytime if you don't want it. And there is zero advertising (for now).
I had EE TV until recently and looked at various options including Apple TV but just ended up getting a Manhattan set top box. I think I'm a bit too tight to pay anything over above the TV licence and I would only end up channel hopping all the time as too much choice 
Sorry Ron, that doesn't help you in the least

Having both imho as a new customer I would 100% go with Amazon, they definitely have a better selection of films, Ive not watched a single film on Netflix as I can never find anything that looks worth a watch. The biggest bonuses from Amazon is you also benefit from the free delivery service, the free music facility and free ebook facility if you have a kindle or ebook device.. i barely buy a book anymore and read plenty. loads of great tv too, for £80 a year its impossible to beat.. however once you have had it 10 years 
the amount of quality tv box sets do become a bit limited as you will have watched all the best stuff.
Netflix is a great service too which now we use more than Amazon for tv but as mentioned the film selection imho is very poor.. some good tv on there though and we have enjoyed some great box sets, its cheap enough but doesn't combine all the other great features Amazon membership has, tough choice but if I was just getting oneit would be Amazon

Got both Netflix and Amazon Prime - both have decent content but like others have said they both lack a bit of new stuff.
Covid delayed a lot of filming but there seems to be a fair bit of content getting added Aug and September.
