Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Generally very good, but limited to PC use/playback. Can't get an app for my smart tv or my playstation (3 or 4) so having to plug my PC into tv to watch is a pain. Could do with some cheaper Buy opti... See more

Love BB offering. Would be great if Blinkbox could enable items purchased from a UK account whilst overseas to be available straight away. Just bought True Detective whilst overseas, and planned... See more

Considering the deals we used to get at video rental outlets I feel there is a price cartel going on as all online streaming services seem to cost the same. In theory the overall overheads should be... See more

Perfect for students!

Pay as you go quality. No strings attatched viewing at reasonable prices. Some great releases and just looking forward to the catelogue evolving.

Just works great! But...

Blinkbox is easy to use and for me (with a fast internet connection), virtually never gives any streaming problems. I usually use an iPad or Mac for playback. But last night I used the Xbox One app, for the first time and it also worked perfectly.
However, when I wish to watch on the "Big TV" using the iPad or Mac to airplay via Apple TV, is when its real shortcomings show up! Namely, it fails to fill the TV's full screen! Making the displayed images into a very narrow letterbox, far to small to be worthwhile watching! A native Apple TV service to resolve this issue, would be the icing on the cake.

Super quick

I watched my film on blink box via my LG smart tv. The app was great and easy to pick a movie and watch / buy it in my chosen format

Excellent streaming, no buffering

The service is easy to use, I tend to book the film using the computer rather than the TV app, as its easier to use the computer keyboard than the TV/Remote.

Works well but ...

... Customer service is poor. They tend to be responsive but every time I've identified issues I was pretty certain they were problems at Blinkbox end but they always denied it and tried to blame it on issues with my equipment or not a fault at all. When I pushed back, sure enough issues have been found at Blinkbox end. Despite this, good will gestures not often forthcoming. And discount offers are too few & too restricted. Hence only 3 of 5. If they fix the service issues I'd rate 5.
