Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

For all the TiVo users on various forums having kittens about netflix...

I now have it on 3 devices, My PS3, My XBOX360, and its hit the Samsung app store so its on my telly. Thats not including laptops, ipads , iphones etc.

TiVo is too far behind, catch up eh :D.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Netflix is pap in comparison to Sky Movies with Anytime.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Why do you need it on 3 devices as I thought that one would be enough:rolleyes:

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

omdz omdz omdzzzzz S.O.P.A :shocked:

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

And you chose to grace us with this why? Trolling?

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

I've got netflix on my wii. Underwhelmed.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

You should also add that you can only watch simultaneously on only one authorised Netflix device at any given time.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Yep


Move along everyone... there is nothing to see in this thread.

:dunce:

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

So because VM doesn't have something that was launched nine days ago, they have to catch up?

Perhaps you have to grow up....:D

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

This can't be said enough. Sky have some really polished iPad apps. :)

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Indeed there is a much more exciting episode of watch you paint dry i must catch instead of reading this **** poor attempt at trolling.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Incorrect, you can watch it on upto 4 devices at anyone time for £6 a month.

EG- Earlier today my kid was watching Openseason 3, On the xbox in her room and I was watching a Breaking Bad in my living room. FACT.

Oh and it does we we on Lovefilm as it has HD and 5.1 sound. Netflix is good and if you havent tried it go for it. I month free trial right now.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Ok, Netflix round up for someone who use's Netlfix.

You can use it on upto 4 devices at once each device watching a different show.
It has HD and 5.1 sound.
Its less than 2 weeks old for UK and is constantly adding new content as it clears UK rights issues.

It is streaming only you can't have discs posted out, Its INSTANT streaming an "IMO" has better quality than LoveFilm which still does not have HD.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

I would go to the doctors:D:D:D:D

Sorry

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Netflix is ok and the HD streaming is excellent however I agree with James can't see it replacing my Sky Movies sub just yet.

---------- Post added at 21:53 ---------- Previous post was at 21:50 ----------

I would agree with that Lovefilm PQ is terrible.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

I have to say that I think Netflix on the PS3 is excellent. The streaming quality is brilliant and the audio on our surround sound is great. It is on par with the quality from a Sky Movies channel in my opinion.

For a service that is brand new to the UK I think it is off to a great start. The only thing lacking perhaps is a bit more content but this will come with time.

For those who don't want to pay big subscriptions to Sky or Virgin, £5.99 a month for Netflix is excellent value.

If you read under 'Why Tivo' you will see that some cable companies around the world are providing Netflix and Blockbuster on Tivo so it's not impossible. I think it is a competition issue with Filmflex,Picturebox and Sky Anytime to be honest.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Fully agree. Sky movies is too expensive in my view. With netflix and blueray rentals from lovefilm, it's still around 10 p/m cheaper than than HD/5.1 Sky movies.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Is Lovefilm on Tivo?

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Not currently but we are hopeful it will be in due time.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

What is due time?










9 Months:D

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

l think its time for you to look into your Palantir.:D

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

I hope your right however none of the cable cos in the US seem to carry Netflix on their TIVO services although a few have Amazon and Blockbuster On Demand

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Most pointless thread of 2012?

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

not really. These are the sort of apps that should be on Tivo. Especially as we should have those 'hundreds of apps' by April

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Most pointless reply of 2012? But thanks for taking the time to post it anyway Stephen. I'm sure the Cableforum community appreciate it.

Keep up the quantity as you obviously aren't interested in the quality.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

And the sooner they arrive the better.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

No they are mine.

I for one look forward to the rays of sunshine from Stephen:D

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

I can't see why netflix wouldn't want to be on Tivo, and I can't see why Virgin wouldn't want it there. So I'm beginning to wonder whether the deals they have with other on demand providers are preventing it?

Even i, as Tivo's greatest defender, am a little disappointed at the apps Virgin are making available on it. I player is excellent, despite it it'ss problems, you tube is rubbish, because of it's problems, the rest just take up space.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Agreed.

I've found Netflix to be fantastic so far, oddly more for its TV shows then films. No expiry dates for content and most episodes of shows are on there, unlike VM where it would be half-a-season (with some episodes missing) which have to be watched by the end of next week.

Streaming quality (on my Xbox 360) has been excellent (720p I believe), and pretty close to some HD channels on TiVo. Most of the content I've streamed has been in 5.1 audio - there's some HD channels on TiVo which don't even broadcast in that.

I've stated before why TiVo is ideally placed to have these sort of apps. If VM are content with using that 10mb connection for Twilight promotional apps and to convince us to upgrade to Sky Sports, then, well, their loss. TiVo is being seriously out-apped by several devices (it has fewer apps then any other media player, console and TV in my house) and I don't think the likes of BT Vision and YouView will be shy of such apps.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

The 'hundreds of apps within 12 months' statement was made in December 2010. Even taking the best interpretation of it and starting the 12 months from the first installs, the odds of them meeting that goal are quite small.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Well the 12 months has elapsed so it has not happened. That is the trouble with making grandiose statements without being able to back them up!:(

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

For a start, the Cable companies now just narrowed down to Virgin Media have always worked with Front Row/Filmflex and therefore probably have an agreement in place not to add services which will clash with it, if it does, Filmflex is dead.

I know on Cable and Wireless up until around 1998, they had Sky Box Office as there pay-per-view near on demand service and then Front Row came along, Cable London didn't have any service until Front Row. So imagine what would happen if Virgin Media brought back Sky Box Office alongside Filmflex and offered them both!

The next thing is Sky Anytime, everyone knows how much Sky likes to create special terms for Virgin Media, like it would only supply a majority of its Sky HD channels when they had taken over Virgin Media Television. Therefore, Sky has probably pointed out that in order for Virgin Media TV customers to get Sky Anytime movies, they must not have additional services which may clash, they probably made Filmflex and Picturebox go because they were already present before Sky Anytime was added.

And finally, licencing,regulation and content responsibility of TV on demand may be holding it back, Currently, Viacom the owners of MTV,Nickelodeon and Paramount is currently in dispute whether Virgin Media should be responsible for it's content on demand. After 7 years of providing on demand content on NTL and Telewest, Viacom feels the need to throw the spanner in the works.

So to add content and apps such as the ones you would like takes a lot of effort and time to add for both Virgin Media and the provider. So you just have to wait for now.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Should be fixed soon.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

What a load of tosh , funniest thing I've read , VM still use filmflex and picturebox don't they.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

They were there the last time I checked:)

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

How soon.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

How soon is now? Can you guess who i'am listening to?

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Yes this charming man. or heaven knows l am miserable now.:D

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

I can't even think of 100 apps you'd want on a TV.

Netflix, LoveFilm, Vimeo, VEVO, that's about it.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

I meant the title and first post. I hope a Netflix app does appear sometime though. Although its line up isn't amazing just now.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

I was being kind to VM and basing the 12 months on the official Tivo launch, which I believe was April

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

I believe Sky Anytime VOD coming to VM was part of the deal which saw VMTV being sold to Sky.

Considering what else VM got from that deal, I doubt if Sky were in any position to tell VM what apps they could or could not put on TiVo.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

If I remember the Cindy Rose article correctly, Lovefilm was mentioned, and she said current film services would not prevent services such as Lovefilm.

Sony have their own streaming film service, but still put Lovefilm on connected devices. Desn't the PS3 also have Netflix?

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Yes it does , it also has Lovefilm.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Yep.

This is other reason why VM should do a app:
http://www.ispreview.co.uk/story/201...t-traffic.html

32% of Netflix streams are delivered using VM's broadband.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Thanks for quoting that, that's the same point I've raised elsewhere - where was VM's concern (if any?) about competition for Flimflex when they encouraged the likes Lovefilm to do an app on TiVo?

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

For anyone here that does have Netflix if you google "Unblock US" you can get access to the American version of Netflix.

So that means newer movies like IronMan 2 in HD with 5.1 sound for £6 a month. Also there TV catalogue is massive and amazing. Of course using "Unblock US" means changing your DNS so it wont be any use on the TiVo version of Netflix.

But if you already have Netflix the American version is absolutely light years ahead. TiVo and Lovefilm suddenly look very very outdated. Its like comparing buying a CD to purchasing from iTUNES.

It would be good if we got Netflix on TiVo though... more choice is always good ;)

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

But CD's are infinitely better than iTunes.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Must admit i have done the same on my xbox and now the netflix libary seems to have doubled.But dont forget if you put in a search for say dr who even though netflix is the american version dr who does show up.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

:rofl:

Anyway Netflix in the UK is not that good at the moment. I am sure it will get a lot better.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

I remember in the early 1980's my dad telling my Vinyl was infinitely better than CD's.............

I don't see in the connected/digital age how a CD is "infinitely" better than an iTunes library? Got ya iPhone? got ya iPad? got iTunes? you content is available ANYWHERE.

Unless you enjoy carrying 300 CD's with you everywhere you go. An with iCloud all sync'd I don't know how I lived without it.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

To be fair I can see both sides of the argument , the one thing to remember is with a CD you can still import it into ITunes or other portable devices.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Exactly and our family still have all our CD's and have no intention of getting rid of them as there is still nothing like a physical copy of something.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

It hope it's fixed in the next couple of months ?

---------- Post added at 15:59 ---------- Previous post was at 15:02 ----------

What a load of rubbish. Virgin Media still use Filmflex and Picturebox.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

icloud could be alright i guess, but i think with slow upload speed on virgin takes a long time to do hundreds of jigabytes, yes?

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

If you use iTunes Match then you don't have to upload anything at all. iTunes just scans your library and matches it against 20 million+ songs held on Apples servers. :)

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Unless you have 100Mb/s upload at work....;)

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

I still cannot find most of these? On anything?

http://metalysedradio.blogspot.com/2...sed-radio.html

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Well I suppose it's virtually impossible for them to have every single song ever released but iTunes will just upload the more niche albums in your collection so that should leave only a small amount of uploading to be done. :)

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

I will never upload anything to the evil empire that is Apple

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

:D

Who would you upload something to?

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

My self and my Father the Devil:)

P.S There are a few other satanic people out there

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Buy CD, rip to FLAC and have a nice lossless copy of your CD then convert that to a high quality mp3. Flac for my home system and high quality 3pm for my portable devices.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

I suggest Virginmedia pull out all the stops and get Netflix on TiVO soon. If TiVo have Netflix I would order 2 tomorrow and cancel Sky.

Instead I'm looking at getting a couple of either "Roku", "WD Live" or a "LG ST600".

The advantage of one of the above is the ability to change the DNS to access the USA version of Netflix. Which has MASSIVELY more content then the UK version as Sky has all the rights to anything worth watching in the UK.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

But your 'New to cable' right?

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Cable Broadband, Even you were new to cable once. If I still have this name is 3 years and I'm still posting here I get the feeling you will still feel need to post replies like that.

Common sense really is not all that common.:rolleyes:

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Why would an app you can already access through three things in your house make you get a Tivo?

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

Its way of having normal TV and Netflix on one device without having to change HDMI inputs and starting a second device. So it would be great in the bedroom.

I have a Smart TV and a connected bluray player but the Bluray player is also the surround sound so moving that envolves unplugging 6 speakers everytime then reconnecting. An the Smart TV si the main TV so moving a 46" TV up and down stairs every night/morning could be bothersome.

So a TiVo or 2 replacing Sky multiroom boxes in bedrooms with Netflix enabled would be great.

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

If you want access to US netflix in your bedroom then I can't imagine an official app on a Virgin Tivo would be the answer?

If you think Sky have the UK rights to "anything worth watching" then you're looking for an illegal work around and I don't think Virgin will ever be able to give you that (apart from the fact that you'll be misusing their broadband product, of course).

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

I used both LoveFilm and Netflix on my xbox and i have to say for the extra £1 Netflix walks all over Lovefilm for content :D

So i will be staying with Netflix for streaming now :D... Good bye lovefilm, they only really had films from the 90s and 80s anyway

Re: Netflix OMG OMG OMG OMG
 

It would also gain access to Netflix only shows , it's great to see them developing their own content
