Interesting article about Netflix appearing on YouView , it also mentions talks to sign commercial agreements with BT and Talk Talk to bundle the service.

Story

No mention of a subscription arrangement as part of a bundle with VM, which is frustrating.

Maybe from January next year? Just had an email to say that as a Virgin media/SamKnows Broadband panellist I will be getting 6 months free NetFlix from Jan' 2015 as a reward for running their SamKnows unit instead of the previous draws for Amazon vouchers we used to get entered in for.

I'm guessing if by then Virgin have NetFlix as a subscription option it will be easier for them to offer their panellists this? but obviously it could just be a total coincidence :D

It does seem strange that Amazon Instant is on the US Roku. Netflix is there, but that was an existing app before Sky got involved with Roku.

BSKYB and 21st Century Fox have made additional investments in Roku today.

Trying to access "The Killing" (the American version) on Netflix, but can't seem to do it. Could someone else try and see if they can get it please? Everything else is available, but not that. :confused:

The UK version via the tivo app. It's just struck me that it may have been pulled because the story is about a teenage girl who is murdered and found in water, which is unfortunately topical!
