Watchever: The best alternatives

In addition to Watchever, there are other video-on-demand services. We present the 3 best alternatives.

New service: Amazon Prime Instant Video

Lovefilm is a thing of the past. Amazon Prime Instant Video is the new video-on-demand service from the mail order giant. You can test the subscription for free for 30 days, but you need an Amazon account.

• You can get Prime Instant Video for € 7.99 a month and can even have DVDs and Blu Rays sent home. How to save the trip to the video store.
• You can also pay 49 euros a year (students only pay 24 euros) and stream the films and series online. You also benefit when you order from Amazon: Prime items are shipped free of charge and quickly.

Maxdome with a good film and series offer

You can also stream films and series at Maxdome. Apps are now available for Windows Phone and iOS devices. You can also receive max cathedrals via smart TVs and consoles. You can test Maxdome for 30 days free of charge.

• At Maxdome you pay € 7.99 a month and can enjoy films and series in SD or HD quality.
• Do you want to see a current blockbuster or the latest comedy? Films that are not included in the subscription can be rented at an additional cost. A film usually costs 3.99 euros for SD quality and 4.99 euros for HD quality.

MyVideo: The free alternative without a subscription

You can watch MyVideo on the PC, on most Smart TVs and on iOS devices, web applications and Windows phones and tablets. For serial junkies in particular, MyVideo is a good alternative if you want to save money.
