Blinkbox have lots of free BBC content to watch for free legally. They have Harry Enfield, classic Dr. Who episodes, The league of Gentlemen, Peep Show, Shameless, Robocop, Mutant X and lots of other shows to watch and they are available in here (in Ireland) too.

They have a few free films too (including March of the Penguins but I couldnt get it to work).

Anyone else getting lots of "Episode not available in your country" ?

Dman001 · 18-12-2009 6:45pm

Well I was able to watch an episode of Harry Enfield and Peep Show no bother.

Thanks so much OP, just tried the Human Instinct one and its working fine,some great shows there:) Some of which link into my college course and help my studies(ish)

podgeandrodge · 18-12-2009 9:05pm

It allowed me to register and rent a movie (99p) - I put the credit card details in (but unchecked 'remember my details) and left country as "United Kingdom" and gave a UK post code. My credit card details were accepted and I've downloaded the movie.

Cheers OP, pity it dosent work through the PS3 tho...

God those Robocop episodes bring back memories...not necessarily good ones :pac:

Not sure if it will work in Ireland but worth a try, promo from http://www.digitalspy.co.uk

Edit2 : Despite the FAQs Dman001 has confirmed it will work

QUESTION: I am outside of the UK – will I be able to buy or rent any titles?
ANSWER: Due to rights, our titles are only available to users in the UK at present.

Dman001 · 21-12-2009 5:42pm

Thanks Steve O will give it a try.

Dman001 · 21-12-2009 6:38pm

Meh, no thanks.

Great find.....cheers OP!

Dman001 · 21-12-2009 10:29pm

Blinkbox's Wikipedia page states that the service is available to Irish users so we can expect that we can use Blinkbox in the longterm, that is if we can trust the Wiki page.

gleep · 21-12-2009 11:03pm

Watching peep show now, no probs. Cheers op!:D

I appreciate guys!! I can actually see myself using this regularly (after all the free films I mean):D

Scruff · 22-12-2009 12:46am

i bet this will go the same way as FilmOn and be free for a while and then become a subscription service

Sorry, we know Darren referred you, but 5 of their friends have already signed up for the deal they told you about. Sign-up anyway to get great deals on blockbuster titles.

Sorry I didnt realise their was a 5 friends limit. Maybe someone else who signed up could refer you.

d8player · 22-12-2009 1:22pm

What size are the movies when downloaded?

Dman001 · 22-12-2009 5:01pm

About 1GB.

vibe666 · 24-12-2009 9:12am

can others wo have signed up post referral links so we can share the "free movies love" around a bit? maybe dman can let people know how to get he refferal clicky linky for us to sign up with if it's not already 100% obvious?

Dman001 · 24-12-2009 9:58pm

They gave me a referal link just after I signed up but I dont know how to get it up again.

angel01 · 25-12-2009 1:14pm

That is a fab find, thank you

marcbrophy · 26-12-2009 12:12am

Thanks OP great find

Used this last night to watch the start of The West Wing season 4 while the box set is making its way to us in the post. Great service, very high quality videos - I streamed it as I had a problem installing the downloader. Not clear from the site if it's high-def or not, but very high quality and a lovely interface on the site.

I used Dman's link and got £5 free credit (thanks) but I think his referral limit has been exceeded so he won't get any more free credit.

West Wing is £1.79 an episode, not overly cheap but the service is worth it, and it's nice to have some free content available too.

Nice one. A lovely cheap and cheerful website to legally watch video and movies, for those with a conscience!
