There's a program thing run by the biggest supermarket chain in the UK (Tesco), where you pay a flat rate fee of £15 a month for any numbre of DVD's (you can hold 3 at a time, for as long as you want).
Are these things any good? I just found they seem to have Stargate seasons 1-7 available, the Shield (season 1), C.S.I. season 1, and loads of films, so there would definately be a lot I would like to rent. (Would probably be worth the £££).

Anyone have general experience of these things? Are they any good?

Tesco DVD Rental uses Royal Mail to deliver DVDs to and receive DVDs from you. Please allow for Royal Mail delivery times. Tesco DVD Rental is not responsible for delayed or misdirected mail. Delivery charges are included in the subscription fee. Return postage of rented DVDs is paid by Tesco DVD Rental.
They alse seem to pay shipping both ways :)

And I have a DVD-+RW, so I could make copies, or at least rip things to my HDD.
Only trouble is, I will probably be getting 1mb broadband connection midway through May, so I'll be able to download stuff instead.

LoL, that's Netflix :)

I have been using Netflix for a while now, we get the same benefits, $19.95/month flat membership fee, and you get 3 movies at a time, once you send one back, they send you the next one in your queue list.

Go for it, it definetly worths it. I was a Platinium member in Blockbuster (rented 200+ movies in a year), but switched to Netflix because it's much more convenient.
