If you weren't impressed by the US Netflix, UK Netflix on Tivo definitely isn't for you.

If new film releases is your preference, then Sky movies is a better choice for you over Netflix.


Netflix do have a few, but no where near as many as Sky Movies.


Although I do watch a few movies on Netflix, it is mainly TV shows that gets most of my viewing, as I believe is the case for most Netflix subscribers.

Cheers for the info bud,getting a tad nearer to preston;)

Even closer to Preston, it appears to have launched in Blackburn.

Box updated today and got a message on the home screen to read about the updates.

Netflix app offers the option to log in with an existing account or sign up for a free months trial. Didn't go any further as thought I'd wait and see if any of the rumoured offers come to pass once the roll out is complete

Of course you could always set yourself up with a throwaway email address for the free trial ;)

Well, Toady, if the US version of Netflix didn't impress you, I don't know what will! It contains all the Sky Atlantic programmes ee've missed, and that's just for starters!

Well, someone posted the US Netflix content, which listed Boardwalk Empire, Blue bloods, mad Men, Game of Thrones, the lot! Was that a spoof, then?

I know 6 Sky Atlantic shows that you can get on various Netflix regions (not all US). Non are HBO shows though.

Mad Men
Friday night Lights (originally shown on ITV4 until they dropped it after 2 seasons)
The following
House of Lies
Blue Bloods
The Borgias

As you'll need it, to sign out of Netflix on TiVo it's under Help & Settings > System Info > Netflix Account Information

Only Manchester area was mentioned on the staff brief, so it would seem so

Just created a TiVo update thread here http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/11...e-netflix.html so that as more people get the update and Netflix, it can be discussed without sending this thread into meltdown :D
