As a UK resident who has tried both I can confirm this. And even with both the selection is still pretty limited. It's frustrating, as since signing up to spotify a couple of years ago, I no longer buy CDs, yet (in the UK at least) there is no comparable service for films and TV shows.

I've started to use Blinkbox, which is buy-and-stream service. The content seems fresher if you don't mind buying versus subscribing.
