Sorry if this has already been covered, I haven't been on the forums in a while. I have just signed up to boxoffice 365 for £4.99 a month it's currently just in the beta stage, it is available to Humax freesat boxes at the moment. For £4.99 you getto choose from 28 movies at any time as often as you want. Every 7 days they add another 7 movies and remove the oldest 7. Picture quality is not great but it is the beta version this may be resolved.

Yes, I'm giving this a try at the moment too. It's a great idea, especially if you can easily cancel the subscription at short notice as you can at present. It seems a bit of a cheek charging us for a beta version and offering  so few films, but hopefully the library will expand in due course.

How have you found the picture quality? It seemed to go quite blocky on a regular basis but I've only watched 1 film so far!

I had a few 'ripples' in the first movie I watched, but otherwise it looks OK, SD, but maybe not as good as I get on the BBC iplayer in highest quality. I think it would be interesting to see more pay per view channels on Freesat, if that isn't a contradiction in terms!
