    Is that the turbo or non-turbo version? Make sure it's got a full service history. :P;)

    In terms of the technical aspects it is the best streaming service I have use. Bar none. Tiny bit of buffering and then a perfect picture. I really don't know how they do it. I've talked to people for whom it even works perfectly over a shared 3G connection though I'm not sure I'd recommend that!

    There is a lot of complaints about its catelogue. Personally its not an issue - I could never get through it all. Partly I think it's the name - "Netflix" conjures up an image of a primarily film based service when really it's the TV that's the star attraction now. Unfortunately Sky's deals with the Hollywood studios and HBO keep a lot of premium content off it. There's also the annoyance of the existence of Amazon Prime, who are buying up UK on demand rights for a lot of programming and, because Netflix buys on a UK & Ireland basis, effectively removing these from the Irish market unless a domestic Irish broadcaster (ie RTE or TV3) buys them. I am not sure why they have not entered the Irish market but I'm sure they have their reasons.
