Film4oD is a UK based video on demand service for Film4, from Channel Four Television Corporation and FilmFlex.[1] Film4oD officially launched on 1 November 2010, following two years of development by FilmFlex, with more than 500 films available at launch.[2] Film4oD has more new releases available to rent than iTunes, LoveFilm or Blinkbox, with many films available on the same day as DVD release and some on the same day as cinema release.[3]
Films are available for 48-hour rental and are streamed online using Microsoft Silverlight requiring a minimum broadband speed of 2 Mbit/s.[4] A download-to-rent option was added on 26 September 2011, allowing films to be watched while offline.[5]
