Because of the fact that content deals are being signed left, right and centre it can be tricky to keep on top of who has the best deals, what's exclusive and what's not and so on. This article is here to lay out in a clear and simple way what exactly Now TV is offering in comparison to Lovefilm so that you can weigh up your options with all the knowledge you need to make an informed decision.

There are many different elements to consider when you are taking a look at two similar services. Of course the first thing we will take a look at is what exactly is on offer.

Both Lovefilm and Now TV offer films, but Now TV is more likely to have access to the latest movies simply because it is powered by Sky. Sky commonly accesses popular and current movies up to 12 months before they are available on any other service, so if you are looking for new films rather than old classics Now TV is probably more suitable for you.

However, Lovefilm does seem to have the larger range of titles to choose from, but some would argue that Now TV is a much newer service and in time will overtake Lovefilm by offering a much larger ...
... catalogue.

Lovefilm provides customers with access to an array of TV shows to watch online, whereas Now TV only gives you access to anything that is currently playing across any of Sky's 11 movie channels, so if it is TV shows you are hoping to watch you're probably best to opt for Lovefilm.

The second element to consider is how you can watch the movies. Lovefilm provides customers with an actual disc rather than providing an online streaming service like Now TV. It is difficult to decide which option is better because, as many of you will already know, the industry is gradually moving towards online streaming rapidly, much like any other industry is at the moment.

Whether on not you are in favour of a physical disc is not something we can judge for you, but what you should know is that renting by post will allow you to order video games as well as movies and TV programmes. Another interesting factor to consider is that DVD rental options mean that you can watch the latest titles before Now TV or Lovefilm have them for streaming online as neither provider will have access to the films until the actual DVD is released.

If you're still caught up in the middle not knowing which service sounds better and more suited to you, then it might be worth mentioning that Lovefilm has numerous titles that can be watched in HD. In contrast Now TV does not currently offer a HD option, so if top spec picture quality is important to you, Lovefilm is the surer bet.
