Run by lovefilm, so if you`ve already ahd a free trial with them you cannot have another.

by coincidence, today I visited the TOPUPTV website, and they have the link below, to get a 21 day (instead of 14 day) free trial with screenselect dvd rental, then 20% on the monthly 3 dvd fee, i.e. £11.99 instead of £14.99

Anyway, it doesn`t appear to check you are a TOPUPTV subscriber, as the link suggests, so this is cheaper than Sainsburys or whoever runs theirs.

www.screenselect.co.uk/topuptv/

so, now the question, can anyone recommend either of these companies, or others, i.e. on their service, availability of films etc.?

Thanks

I`ve used Screenselect, good selection of films and fast turnaround, but the discs are sometimes in horrific condition. Webflix is good but has a smaller selection, although if you order a title that is a two or three disc set they send them together, they don`t count each disc as a separate choice. Just got my first Lovefilm discs today (six week trial), got the three discs from the top of my selection, will report back on how it goes with them!

Is the six week trial direct with Lovefilm - I dont fancy the 2 week tesco trial or 4 week Sainsburies trial until after Xmas (to many bank holidays and an excess of post!) - 6 weeks would be nice!

Yep, it`s Lovefilm direct. Clicky here Enjoy!

Forgot to add that they have a very impressive selection of foreign and indie films.

Not absolutely sure but I think that they dont share details i.e sainsbury`s/lovefilm so you may be able to start the process again with sainsbury`s?
worth a try.
