When it comes to downloading our favourite films and TV series, there are a number of companies fighting it out on the entertainment battlefield to gain your custom but which one should you take out your subscription with? Check out our comparison of the two major players in the TV streaming market to find the best deal for you!

Streaming veteran Lovefilm is the first company we cast our critical eye over; founded back in 2002, Lovefilm started life as a DVD rental company providing a back catalogue of entertainment via post across the UK. Now serving other areas of Europe and merging with a number of online rental companies, Lovefilm recently announced that it has 2 million subscribers, all of which use its service to make around 4 million rentals each month. But with the launch of its instant service, where users can search and browse online for films and TV shows, the leading rental company has gained a new rival…

The internet TV service powered by entertainment giant Sky is the rival company at the heart of the great Now TV vs Lovefilm debate. Launched in early 2012, Now TV may not be as old as Lovefilm but its links with Sky certainly raises the question about which offers the best value for money and the most varied catalogue of films and TV shows.

The main difference between Now TV and Lovefilm is that the latter offers full seasons of TV series to watch instantly online and whilst Now TV may not, they have secured an exclusive contract with HBO, meaning some of our favourite and most iconic series like The Sopranos, Game of Thrones and Sex and the City are only available on Now TV.

The way in which you can access each streaming service also differs. Whilst Lovefilm provides access across almost every device imaginable, Now TV is still not compatible with the Nintendo Wii, Kindle or Smart televisions, which may be a problem for many tech enthusiasts.

The big question when debating whether Now TV is better than Lovefilm has to be which is the cheapest. Many households across the UK are still suffering in the aftermath of the recession, meaning there is less money available to spend on life's little luxuries; however, both Lovefilm and Now TV provide great value packages, whatever your entertainment needs. Now TV is also run on a pay-as-you-go basis as well as monthly subscription, meaning viewers can take control of their entertainment costs.

Great news if you are a sports fan too! Now TV allows you to watch Sky Sports on a pay-as-you-go basis so you never have to miss out on the greatest games and competitions in the world of sport again. You also don't need a Sky subscription to access Now TV features; films, TV shows and the Sky Sports pass can all streamed live online, all you need is a broadband connection and a supported device.

Both streaming services provide 30 day free trials, which are publicised across primetime TV on a regular basis, meaning you can find out which one is right for you before you commit without incurring additional costs, so why not give both a go!
