That's good, though considering Netflix have a Movies agreement with Disney due to start next year, that's not actually that surprising

The first run rights deal with Disney is for the USA , I believe Sky Movies still holds those rights in the UK.

Fair enough, so that might mean that the Star Wars films addition also only applies to the US - especially as Sky Movies had the recent Star Wars weekend.

Not sure i suppose the Star Wars films may be added to Netflix UK as they are obviously no longer first run.

And of course, no one on here has access to US Netflix.

Of course they do but it's certainly the minority who use VPN or Smart DNS most have never heard of it

If your speeds are iffy mate chances are they have oversubscribed in your area, i don't think you can find out officially but the speeds being iffy are normally a good indicator.

But I was talking about 'on here', this thread, where such things are mentioned regularly.

Of course we where discussing Disney Movies particularly first run , Now TV movie passes can be had cheaper than the cost of Netflix plus smart dns , I appreciate you get more than just movies and superior PQ with Netflix and DNS however as I say talking specifically first run movie rights Now TV is cheaper especially if you buy passes online.

It seems to be roughly £1 - £2 extra for Netflix + Smart DNS. For 1080p and 5.1 audio, I'd happily pay that. Plus, as you pointed out, you get masses of extra content from the various Netflix regions.

Just received a 'Value Statement' from VM, it says I am on 'up to 20mbs' and not 50 as I originally thought.

Should it still be possible to obtain a watchable stream on 20mbs?

Easily mate my bt tv sports at hd only uses 9.5mbs so streaming hd or sd should be no problem for you, infact most sd streams only require between 3mbs - 5mbs and hd between 7.5mbs - 15mbs.
