I'm busy this weekend but I could try it next weekend if you get me a couple of airline tickets.

.... and an ipad.


I'll use my free netflix trial to save you money. :D

I've already tried it and it will load the programme only if it's available in the UK Netflix.

Using iPad Netflix app to pick a show the to play out on TiVo box is great.

However can I make the transition a bit slicker?
For instance I have to click ok and enter TiVo password every time the Netflix TiVo app opens. Also a menu pops up asking to choose Netflix of Netflix kids before finally loading my choice.

Is this standard or can I bypass this annoying procedure

Thanks

You can get rid of the TiVo PIN via Parental Controls > Lock Apps & Games

Not sure about the Netflix Kids screen though - that may have to wait until we get the app update with profiles.

Cheers BenMcr.
The profiles bit makes sense as available on iPad app but not showing on TiVo yet.
Surprised bout the pin as before update all parental controls off as no kids in the house. Guess need to go through it again.

Thanks for advice

Apps PIN protection is new, so I guess it's prudent to set it to block by default those app where kids could access inappropriate content

Just wondering because of the lack of profiles, if using the iPad feature, does it register what you are watching with the profile that is signed in on the iPad?

(can't check myself as waiting for update)

From Netflix support:

Devices that do not currently support profiles will use the account owner profile by default.

Can anyone who has had the update confirm whether the Netflix app can output Dolby Digital Plus please?
