Netflix vs Lovefilm
Netflix vs Lovefilm – Verdict
A glance through our results would suggest that Netflix is the overall winner – it certainly has the superior tech and UI backing up its product. Lovefilm only wins out in terms of its catalogue – but it's a vitally important category.
Bluntly, if you're choosing a video streaming service the most important thing is what's available to watch on it. For the time being, there's no contest on that score, with Lovefilm way ahead of its rival. That might change in the coming months as both providers ink new content deals, though – so keep checking back for updates.

Clearly missing one vital components.
Most of the LoveFilm library is extra at £2.50 to £3.50 on top of your subscription, where as NetFlix is all in for everything in their library.
I'd rather not pay £3.50 to LoveFilm for sub-DVD quality, I'd go to Apple or Google for that one off payment.

I've got Lovefilm's usual subscription, rather than the streaming-only service.
It suits my needs thanks to the ability to hire games (great for the kids) and the discs (great so the missus can watch a DVD while in the kitchen)
Streaming is nothing more than a bonus for me but works fine through the PS3 when used, and at no extra charge. I'd be happier with a little more content, mind. It does take up the same tv as satellite though, so it is only a "if-there's-nothing-on-tv" option.
Perhaps if I ever bought a tablet I'd consider Netflix, but at the moment for £11 a month Lovefilm does all I need.

Knowhow Movies, a new VOD service, looks like it might just take on both... and win.

If you go to www.unotelly.com - you can use their service to get access to Netflix US content - it's got much better content on it.
