Netflix comes to UK in 2012

[Emma.]

I'm loving the first 2 series of Dexter.

Never seen it before. It's awesome

 

[AK]

Is Dexter on there?! I'm cancelling my Lovefilm then.

First 2 series are on there. Wish there was more. It's all I've watched the past two days

You accessing Netflix uk through the internet menu on ATV or Plex/XMBC plugin?

I have got a login and can view on my iMac but when I try the plugin through Plex it doesn't work and through the internet menu on ATV it asks me to sign in then just says not working come back later.

Internet menu.

 

[bully]

Mmmmmm it no worky, just keeps saying come back later even after I have logged in.

Any ideas?

Thanks btw.

 

[Tom]

Your location and time zone ok?

 

[bully]

Location was set in USA, changed it to London and left set automatically to off.

Reset ATV and logged out of Netflix on ATV, logged in and when I go into it under internet menu it lists genres, search and logout, if I go into genres it says unavailable try later.

 

[Tom]

Hmm, I know it's a pain but re- JB with a fresh 4.4.4

 

[bully]

Still doing it, god knows.

 

[bully]

I can stream it through my Wii and its fine, annoying.

 

[AK]

Can't sign in on the Xbox. PITA.

 

[AK]

Fixed it.

Prison Break is on there. I'm happy .

 

[AK]

Content isn't bad. Better than Lovefilms attempt.

 

[conneh]

Breaking Bad is pretty good.

 

[Rhino172]

ok so I'm quite tempted to switch over to this from Love Film.

Currenlty paying 4.99 p/m and getting 2 blu-ray films a month....or I could swap to NetFlix for 5.99 p/m and stream as much s**t as I like with no limits? I'm assuming it is possible to stream HD with NetFlix?

I will be using it through the xbox, iPad and a couple of iPhones). Does it have to be via Wi-Fi or could it work with a decent 3g signal too?

I had a look on thier site yesterday and the content looked a bit pap, only like 50 films and a few tv shows, most of them being old. Assuming I'm missing something here?

 

[C.J]

Content is crap! Interface is nice though.

Will stick to IF on ATV2 for now.

That's my thoughts too. Shame.

I'd pay for an unlimited package, if the releases were the latest (As seen on ATV etc).

 

[AK]

I'm happy with the current content TBH. It's much better than Lovefilm and no doubt they'll add more.

Had to sign up using Facebook which I didn't like but it works brilliantly!

Don't have to, look below the facebook button.

Gives you the option to use an alternative email address.

 

[theduck]

Wasn't there on iPhone.

I worked for Lovefilm once upon a time. They're limited by a lot of copywrite laws and interestingly they said Sky has exclusive rights to most movies for anything from a couple of months to a couple of years depending on the film/publisher.

I imagine this would apply to Netflix too and might suggest why they have such terrible online collections. I imagine if they 'could' have every movie ever released, they would.

 

[sneeks]

Californication is available for streaming and is a programme I've always wanted to watch, so far I'm enjoying it.

 

[AK]

Yes! Happy.

 

[sneeks]

When I searched for Scrubs last week only Seasons 1-3 were available, over the weekend this increased to include Seasons 4-5 but on checking now it appears to be back to only 1-3.

 

[chris_p]

It's pretty crap so far, would never pay for it!

Dexter is the best thing on there at the moment, awesome

 

[sneeks]

There is enough available to justify £5.99 a month.

 

[AK]

Agreed.

Prison Break, Dexter, Scrubs, Heroes etc.

More than happy to pay for them.

 

[chris_p]

Is there? You can get most things on iplayer/4od etc now anyway, and you're only a google away from downloading most things for free.

I can't justify paying for it, in terms of films it's pish poor

 

[sneeks]

I always said if there was a affordable way of viewing content that I wanted to see then I would definitely pay rather than obtain via downloads etc. Netflix offers me this opportunity for a very low monthly fee.

 

[theduck]

TBH I didnt think I would keep it past the free trial, but for me there is enough content for £6 a month. Id almost go as far as saying its better than what I get from sky who I pay a lot more to.

Sure if it gets to a point where I cant see anything I want to watch each time I go to use it I'll cancel it. Beauty of rolling contracts.

Exactly, I'll do the same.

Watched Best of The Best the other night, memories lol, loved that film as a kid....dont know why watching it again!!. Eric Roberts looks very much like his sister in that film.

So far all it does is sit at 99% on the 360 buffering.. works alright on the PC

 

[AK]

Unlucky.

Works flawlessly on mine.

Only tiny pain is the episode select menu etc. bit of a pain.

Had no problems on my xbox using the old type wireless connection. Watched 3 films using it.

 

[Cookie]

Even if they don't put anything else on for a while, there's so much old stuff I've never seen before

 

[.Adam.]

Whats peoples thoughts on this so far?

Decided to sack off Sky Movies, as rarely watch it, and this appeals to me as can stream on my laptop and xbox.

 

[AK]

I'm loving it. There's plenty for me to watch.

It almost makes the 250GB of stuff I downloaded over Xmas redundant, lol.

 

[C.J]

I've been using the trial tonight.

It's ok, but I won't be paying for it. The series are too old. E.g Dexter is 4 series behind.

A couple of movies are quite recent (Buried, The Switch).

If the content was new, I'd pay £20 easily for the content.

 

[sneeks]

Now that IF is buggered I definitely see the benefit of Netflix.

Exactly what I'm thinking. Though not good reading content isn't too great.
Guess I'll just have to have a go with the trial.
