New releases from top Hollywood studios will be available for rental in line with DVD releases in the UK, which is three to six months after the cinematic release.

Apart from these titles, customers will also be able to rent blockbuster movies which have been released in recent years. Top recent movies will also be available in high definition, and with Dolby 5.1 sound.

Amongst the first launch blockbuster movies clients will find titles such as Thor, Rango, Water for Elephants and X-Men First Class.

Latest movie releases will rent for €3.50 while new releases will rent for €2.99 or €3.99 in high definition. Library blockbuster releases will start from €1.49. Once a movie is rented customers can watch it as many times as they want for a 48-hour period.

The rental library is automatically available to all home entertainment pack customers. Once a rental has been confirmed, the charge is added to the customers' monthly bill.
