    I was reading on the lauch of the new Ultraviolet tech that there are sites like Netflix operating a streaming service in Europe. I know there are a couple of sites offering dvd's in the post - but the logistics always put me off. I see there is a new site that recently got bought by Tesco called http://www.blinkbox.com/ . Anyone have any experience with using them in Ireland? Or know of any alternatives?

    I've watched the free content on Blinkbox, it's a pretty good site, bit more advertising than most online viewers would be used to some films and shows just have ads every five minutes which makes them unwatchable, but that's on the free shows, I don't think there's ads on the paid for stuff.

    Never bought anything off them but the quality of their stuff is as good as you can get.

    Sad to hear Tescos bought them, it automatically gets put on my boycott list thanks to that move. :(
