If its anything like the iPhone app then I don't hold out much hope as the films are pretty poor at the moment, ads every 10 mins during films, majority of TV shows are minisodes.
I think at the moment Netflix has everything I need. Still, I suppose it's better than nothing at all. |

Top Tip guys
![]() If you use unblock-us DNS then the US content is so much better than ours as they have loads more movies and TV shows. |

just had a look myself actually. some reasonable bottom-shelf dvd stuff there - good for a few freebies i guess.
might try unblock-us later on, see what's what .. |

If you couldn't make out the numbers on the bottom right, they were showing 36 titles for UK and 194 titles for US. |

that's a good selection for a free movie channel, especially if they're going to be regularly adding stuff. |

aha, that makes sense now.

The adverts that come up during some films are not seamless and unskippable so what happens is when its time for an ad the film stops then loads and buffers the ad, then when the ads finished it stops then loads and buffers the next part of the film. With some films this can happen about 9 or 10 times. |

Yeah I agree it's pretty good for something you get for free, but there is one thing thats quite annoying.

With some films this can happen about 9 or 10 times. Still, I guess if you're absolutely stuck for something to watch then you'd probably stomach it. Can't see me watching a ton of stuff on it anyway, so it might be bearable. |

Really ?. I didn't know that. I've only just got my BluRay player back and updated it to see Crackle, I hadn't actually tried any films.

From what I've seen so far with just having a flick through to see whats what, some films, especially the more well known ones there's roughly a 30 second advert every 10-15 mins so the longer the film the more ads you get, there are some that don't have any adverts at all.

I now got the servive via my 14 month old Sony blu ray player. Any ideas if they will in time give you more of a movie choice and how offen they add films to the service.
Also can you sign into the service via the blu ray player like you can do on there website. My friend from the USA has this box. http://www.amazon.com/Roku-XS-1080p-...5821566&sr=8-1 and says its good and comes with the Crackle service. I see theres also a UK version of the box. Any views on it. Darren |
