Netflix and LoveFilm Instantare the two best-known movie streaming services in the UK. You pay £5.99 every month and you can watch as much of the giant library of TV episodes and films on the services as you like. Many people are using platforms like Netflix to trade in their own scheduled TV watching. However, which one is better – LoveFilm or Net...
Netflix has a more consistent user interface than LoveFilm. Its ‘lean back’ interfaces for games console and TVs are simpler, and unlike LoveFilm, the web interface doesn’t feel completely different to the other means of using the service. LoveFilm Instant’s issue is that it is still tied to the DVD rental that remains a key part of LoveFilm as a w...
The unfortunate truth is that the film selections on both Netflix and LoveFilm are not going to be enough to fully satisfy the needs of a true film fanatic. Neither has brand-new films and neither has a truly gargantuan library. Each has a few thousand films – including plenty of rubbish. Both are subject to the rights negotiations that are part of...
Netflix offers a significantly better TV library than LoveFilm. It has a wealth of US TV shows in particular (and plenty of UK ones), and benefits from shows that Netflix itself has commissioned. Taking an HBO-like approach to its commissioning, the majority of Netflix Originals shows so far have been excellent, including the remake of House of Car...
Until earlier this year, it was pretty clear that Netflix offered much better picture quality than LoveFilm. It introduced HD-quality streams earlier, and higher bit-rate, 1080p ‘Super HD’ quality video. It even plans to bring 4K streams to the service next year. LoveFilm Instant introduced HD-quality streams in 2012, but 1080p video was only avail...
Much like picture quality, Netflix is generally ahead in sound quality. Most of its new content is delivered with 5.1 surround, and surround sound is available on game consoles, through a computer and through Apple TV. LoveFilm does offer surround, but it’s a little behind in terms of roll-out – it has only just come to PS3. And less of the library...
The conclusion should be fairly clear by now – if you sign up for a single streaming service out of Netflix and LoveFilm, we recommend Netflix. Better cross-platform support, a better catalogue all-round and superior sound and video quality make it the clear winner. However, it’s worth considering subscribing to both if you want to make all your vi...

Mar 11, 2014 · Lovefilm is now, again, a DVD rental by post only company in a streaming world. They are, however, undoubtedly still the biggest brand in this area: Blockbuster's DVD rental by post service closed in November 2013, a few months before the last high street stores closed up.
