Dare I say those immortal words... The BBC licence fee.

I wonder how that would work if BBC content is on the same potentially free platform as the other main terrestrial channels???

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I thought that. If It's classed as a different service to the iPlayer, people could once again watch BBC content without a TVL.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Tricky one if it's what i think it'll be basically a service linking the relevant players but the content is one app then yes you's still need a TVL as technically it'd be linking to iplayer.
I'll ask around at work see if anything has come through to anyone in the office.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

All it would take would be a minor update to the regulations to allow another streaming player to be referenced in the TV license. They don’t actually check that you have a TV license in the iPlayer now, it’s just a nag screen designed to ensure everyone knows what the rules are.

Whilst I have used Netflix in the past I am not currently subscribed. After a call to retentions yesterday I have moved onto the Ultimate Oomph package.

I have just received my new contract and the first thing I notice on the TV section is a green tick against ‘Netflix Access’ .

Does this mean I now have access to Netflix included in my package?

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

You'll be able to access it from the app, but you'll still need to subscribe to Netflix to get any content.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Strange why Netflix is the only service that is shown in my new ‘bundle’ when Netflix has been in the Apps section for a long time now, why nothing else?

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Have you tried to access and watch something on Netflix?

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Yes, no joy as yet. Will try it again later.
See attached image of my new contract.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I may be wrong, but I don't think that Virgin include Netflix as part of a bundle.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

First I've heard of it but it doesn't make sense to have Netflix access ticked when it's always been available in the apps etc ??

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

It is not as far as l know.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

No reason why it couldn’t be though, not so long ago I found out that for reasons as yet unexplained I was paying Netflix direct and again through VM. :confused: Cancelled them both about 10 months ago.

I still can’t see any reason to have Netflix alone listed as part of my bundle, doesn’t make sense.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

l know as Virgin seem to make things harder for themselves sometimes.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

It's coming part of a ultra on demand package.
No timeframe as of yet though as soon as something more comes in work about it i'll let you guys know what i can.
