A night in at the movies
Article Abstract:
Terrestrial television offers the least expensive way of watching films at home in the UK, with the four channels showing around 40-50 films a week. However, these films usually at least three years old. Cable and satellite television broadcasters show newer films, but viewers must pay an installation fee and a monthly subscription. Renting a video is relatively inexpensive, but their quality can be poor.
