Comments on: Lovefilm lands on LG, Roku up next http://gigaom.com/2012/01/19/lovefilm-lg-roku/ Sat, 25 May 2013 11:50:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Paul Riley http://gigaom.com/2012/01/19/lovefilm-lg-roku/#comment-809400 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 13:08:55 +0000 http://gigaom.com/?p=473179#comment-809400 I wouldn’t hold your breath if you are expecting any streaming from amazon.co.uk or it’s sister company lovefilm. Experience has shown that if you try to contact support for amazon.co.uk, the indian call centre is completely unaware of the device, and has no way of finding out what amazon.co.uk intend to do as far as streaming is concerned. As for Lovefilm, your ok if your a single teen/twenty something without a social life because your pc, xbox, or ps3 all work, support initially associate the enquiry with bluray players, and then assume that at some point they will support these devices. I find this all a little depressing, the likes of Sky are as strong as ever and don’t appear to have any concerns as far as video streaming is concerned, if I didn’t know better I’d have said that Sky are paying the likes of amazon (uk) and netflix to give the worse service possible in the hope that the trend towards “cable cutting”, not using satellite and cable companies for content delivery, is killed off in it’s infancy.

Brilliantly wonderful device, ruined by the content providers, what a shame.
