Blinkbox?

Blinkbox says we require a broadband internet connection. Stupid question - but does it have to be wired or will it work wirelessly?

We have a Samsung smart tv and it is connected wirelessly, it streams Blinkbox just fine.

Works via WiFi if your device has WiFi. I can view using iPad.

What they mean is that you need a reasonably fast internet connection. Faster the better.

If using a desktop computer you can download and play later, so useful for slower internet connections. Other devices I think all stream only, no download first option.

Add you clubcard to your account and you get clubcard points when you buy/rent movies (excluding discounted movies, such as MovieMondays)

Thankyou all! Just one more stupid question... If I sign up for Blinkbox through the Xbox, presumably I can also access my a/c through my laptop, kids' Hudls etc? That is, it isn't confined just to the device you initially signed up through I presume?

Yes you can access on other devices. However you may not be able to purchase via other devices, for example the iPad app does not let me buy things, just play things in my library.

Not sure if you can watch the same thing on multiple devices at the same time... there may be a limit to that.

You can still buy media on your ipad, you just have to access Blinkbox via your browser.

The only device we have that cannot play Blonkbox media is our Chromebook, which runs a chime os.

KnowHow movies are quite good too if you can get them.
