The streaming television service Netflix has just launched in the United Kingdom and there is a free months trial being offered to encourage consumers to sign up to the streaming company, rather than to other companies in the market like LoveFilm.

If you’re in the UK you can subscribe to NetFlix for just under £6 a month and this allows you to watch unlimited television from Channel 4, the BBC as well as other major programmes from the United States. There are many platforms compatible with the service including computers, Tablet PCs such as the iPad, games consoles and even Blu-ray players.

There is integration with Facebook which adds a social element to viewing as viewers of programmes will be able to share what they are watching with friends on the social network. A rival offer by LoveFilm includes both its postal service as well as the streaming service and it claims to offer the largest range of films in the UK.

LoveFilm is owned by Amazon and it is currently offering subscription to its streaming service for just under five pounds a month, which is about a pound cheaper than the offering from Netflix. Internationally, Netflix is the most successful company and has significantly more customers than LoveFilm.

A recent partnership has also been established between FilmFlex and HMV in hopes that HMV will be able to combat the decline it is seeing in DVD sales. HMV has been struggling financially and saw a greater than eight percent drop in December compared with last year.

In the festive spirit, Apple have recently announced that there will be a promotion in the run-up to Christmas offering free applications, songs and videos to people who download a specific application for their Apple device. The application is called ‘12 Days of Christmas’ and is available to Apple users in Canada and Europe.

An insider from Apple has recently stated that content will be given away between Boxing Day and 6 January. The content being given away is something that would normally be charged for and therefore Apple are encouraging people to download the application so they can save some money.

When the giveaway days arrive the free download will be available for 24 hours and then it will go back to its normal rate. This is not the first time Apple have run this promotion, and in the past it has proved very popular for the company and has served well to promote their App Store.

For those who do not have a mobile Apple device do not have to miss out on the action as if you visit the iTunes store on your computer you can also download the gifts for use on your computer, assuming they are compatible. The 12 Days of Christmas application is available from the iTunes Store for no charge and can be downloaded now.
