Advantages: cheap, easy to use, ability to record the films

Disadvantages: range, pay per set, not per box

I have ntl cable (not digital) and I have the 5 front row channels free with my package.

I say 5 because there are 4 channels which show the movies, and 1 thathas previews of the movies and future movies.

When you want to see a film on front row (with ntl) all you have to do is tune to the revelevent channel (this information can be found in most TV magazines and the preview channel). You have to tune to the channel before the film starts and enter your pin number. When this is done you are allowed to watch the film and the fee (£2.99) is added to your bill at the end of the month.

The main negative about the service is the range of films. There are normally only 4/5 films a day - whereas on most digital services there are 20+.

My other minor complaint is that when you order a film you can only watch it on that TV. So if you have multiple sets - you can only watch it on one of them.

I use this service quite a lot as it is 50p cheaper than my local video shop and I don't have to go out to get a film!

Also you can record from the front row channels, with digital you cannot. This is yet another reason why I use front row - the ability to record.
