anyone had a good experience with this?

I love it. Never once had a problem with it, except on my phone at the other end of the house - but that's a wifi issue. 

I generally watch one show at once (with the odd Seinfeld episode when I come home drunk on a Sunday morning) then if there is less than a week on my subscription I switch over to Netflix/neon for the next month, if longer left I watch another show and so forth. Figure that way I effectively get all 3 libraries of content for the 1 price. 

Have 3 months free from the PLP deal at the moment, so will stay with lightbox till at least Christmas.

ah ok.

Yeh, it seems definitely decent for a free option. But had tech issues so far and slow tech support, which hasn't solved the problem.

For contrast I have PLP, which I had one major issue- I had a live chat and the problem was solved. Occasionally I have issues if I have multiple flatmates using the net, but rarely. It's a good service.

are you using apps or anything? I'm using silverlight on a PC at the moment...

Have it, tried it a couple of times but don't have time to watch TV really.

Like the fact that they have the whole x files back catalogue, can watch it before the new series airs.

switched to Chrome the browser and seems to be working. Happy enough with it. It isn't HD. Seen many of the shows, but got Gotta Call Saul to watch so...some good rewatches.

it's interesting.

glad chrome works for you at least. What browser were you using previously?

Sweet as for us screen casting to ATV from iPad. Even better as it was free.
