VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

I was on the VM site earlier to check pricing and I noticed an option for Netflix - either its 6 months free or monthly free (on XL?) - the question mark icon just brings up some wacky code for now.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Good spot sir!!! Provided it stays as it is, I will defo give Netflix a try for 6 months. Hoping it will get included in XL though:-) Off to look at at the site now!!!

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

From the site it looks like new customers will get Netflix for free for 6 months. (subject to them changing the site of course.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

with a bit of luck it will log in using email credentials and not direct from box then at least as a current subscriber I can cancel and still access it from all devices

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Yes its looking good.:)

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

My question would be if I have it through my TiVO will I be able to get it through my iPhone via the app or Apple TV?

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

I'd be very surprised if you couldn't - Spotify is fine, and why would Netflix want to limit customers?

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

I am hoping it is just an app you sign into normally and the 6 months free is as a sweetener and most likely will only be for new subscribers

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

The option has now been removed for new customers:-( Lets hope they stick to the same price they put up earlier:-)

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Netflix is pretty good atm the uk Netflix now has Hansel and Gretel witchhunters on it.
From what i've been told Netflix intend to go head to head with Sky for movie rights too and Netflix have the cash to really take Sky on.
Interesting times ahead i feel.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

You should have quickly signed up :D

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

True :), I was distracted at the time talking to VM CS. :), I'm already with Netflix anyway but an attempted signup would have been interesting.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Ok folks sell Netflix to me. I am someone who is hopeless at films and does not like much if any American tv.. unusual I know.

Is Netflix any use to me?

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

It has British Tv to and some good oldies. Otherwise no leave it lol

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Why don't you sign up for the one month free trial and decide for yourself?

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

You lose nothing by getting a free trial, and don't forget that Netflix is developing its library. Rights issues are a problem so it won't come all at once, but over a period of a few years we should see some really good content on here.

The American version of Netflix will give you a flavour of what is to come.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

I really hope that they do take Sky on over the movies, the amount of money Sky charge for Sky movies is obscene.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

I agree, Harry. There is a huge need for some competition here and Netflix have the resources to put into it. My hopes are riding high with this!

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

That's a good notion... when it comes I will cheers Passingbat....

Sky Movies is apparently rather cheap if you have Sky Sports too??

---------- Post added at 13:18 ---------- Previous post was at 13:16 ----------

Many thanks....

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Sounds like it's been a while since you checked !

it is cheaper, but not what i would call "rather cheap"

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Six quid a month for all those channels. Rather cheap sums it up nicely...

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

I think Sky need to lose their exclusive rights to be able to air movies before anyone else before a provider can 'take them on'

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

So you are saying all the film channels and all sports are only an extra £6 a month ?

This contradicts the virgin website
http://store.virginmedia.com/digital...ky-sports.html

or am I missing something

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Yes you are rather ;)! I said Sky Movies is apparently rather cheap if you have Sky Sports too?? and it is only seven pounds (I cannot count!) a month for all the Sky film channels if you have Sky Sports too...

http://store.virginmedia.com/digital...ky-sports.html

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Clearly I must be.
If you have the VIP account it is £7 extra a month for the HD, but for mere mortals like myself, £34.25 a month is too much for me to justify

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

The movies may be cheaper if you have SS, but you then have to pay a large sum for the sports channels. If they can offer Sky movies at £7 (probably to cover the costs of the channels and/or make a minor amount of profit) for SS sports customers, it suggests (to me) they could cut the cost of the movies for non-sports customers too, rather than seemingly rip-off non SS customers who can live without sport but love their movies.
Still, people keep paying it, so they will keep charging it!!!:(

---------- Post added at 15:23 ---------- Previous post was at 15:12 ----------

Not entirely sure of the deal they have, but I guess when the current deals are up, Netflix and everyone else will be looking to challenge Sky for the rights then.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Just had a thought, people may lose out by taking a months free trial. If people are already signed up to Netflix, it may be the case that they don't get the expected six month free deal.

It might be worth seeing what VM come up with before signing up on the internet.

I agree, but see my comment below...

Whilst I would love to see Sky squeezed out of the pay movie market (at least), I do wonder if we could see a situation similar to the football contracts. ie competition that was intended to help the consumer has led to a fragmentation of sports rights and an overall increase for the customer to obtain the same amount of sport.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

+1

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

It could have the same effect, but I think it will be slightly different for the movies. I will try and explain my thinking, and I hope everyone can follow my train of thought. For example, I can't justify Sky Movies, but I can justify £10 per month for a trip to Blockbuster to rent 4 movies for 4 nights. (some people may pay £10 for Lovefilm/Blockbuster.com as an alternative.) That way I get to choose what movies (mainly new releases I did not see at the cinema) I want to watch, when I want. I could also squeeze an extra £6 a month for Netflix (if it is not bundled in to XL) from somewhere and have much more content than I would need.

On this basis, my (and possibly others) extra spend will only be £6.

Also customers who have Sky movies will have the option of cancelling the movies and picking up 2/3/4 different subscriptions from (Netflix/lovefilm/wuaki etc) for the same price, but with much more additional T.V. content for a similar price.

For me this is unlike the sports where people have to pay a certain price if they want to watch a sport live. Also, there is no real compettion for Sky in terms of sports. It is only really BT at the moment, unlike movie providers.

Ultimately if bidding wars for movie "rental" rights get too high, I will simply use the cinema and buy DVD/Bluray's from the shops. An option we simply will never from live sports on TV.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

That is your view. Being mortal has nothing to do with it imo.

How one chooses to spend one's money is a question of taste once the essentials of life have been purchased. I do not drink and instead I buy sport and movies from VM.

It doesn't matter what pack you are on if you have the sport the movies are only seven pounds per month on top which my point was is good value and I stick with that. That is for the SD versions btw. The HD sport and movies charge is another choice altogether....

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

You make some very good points.

VM make very little, if anything, from the Sky movie channels, so have little to lose if customers ditch Sky movies in favour of Netflix.

In fact, it may be beneficial to VM if customers do swap over as they may make a small commission on Netflix sales :)

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Sky have the new releases, so it's bound to cost more than Netflix. I don't see how Netflix could have the same number of new releases that Sky does without raising the price.

ATM you have distinct options. More newer movies from Sky at a higher cost or older movies and loads of TV from Netflix at a rock bottom price.

A good compromise, as has been pointed out, is bluerays/DVDs from Lovefilm at £10/month, which also includes the streaming content as well.

You pays your money etc.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

You do indeed and I will try Netflix as advised and see what it is like. Then will probably stick to Sky Movies!! But will give it a chance....

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Anyone thinking that Netflix will win major 1st window subscription movie rights AND continue charging £6 per month, are in for disappointment.

Those rights aren't cheap. That's why the Sky Movies option on Now TV is over double what Netflix charge now.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

I too doubt they will win many major first window subscriptions, for £6 a month. Just like SS are very unlikely to lose the best 1st pick premier league games whilst BT sport is only £12-£15. Sky will hold the upper hand for a long time still.

It would be nice, however, for a company to take them on and give customers more choice and better value. Even if Netflix decide they have to charge £10 a month (like lovefilm) so they can get more film rights as well as decent independent or foreign films ahead of Sky (in the future) and acquire decent TV content ahead of Sky, it will still be a better and cheaper option for me, and probably many, many others.
Any films I missed at the cinema and am desperate see as soon as they come out, I will simply continue to rent them from Blockbuster, where I believe they still come out before Sky get them (am happy to be corrected on that though.) :)

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

You can't compare Lovefilm's £10p/m charge with Netflix's £6 as they are for different things.

The only true comparison is between both of their streaming services, which are the same price at £6p/m.

The £10 for Lovefilm includes Blueray/DVD rentals combined with the free streaming.

DVD rental is a different kettle of fish as regards to rights than streaming rights.

Having a combined service of DVD and streaming allows Lovefilm to offer both new and older titles is a good way of doing things as an option to Sky movies; I used to do it myself.

Although Netflix offer a DVD service in the US, they don't offer that in the UK.

The new service from Play.com owners, https://uk.wuaki.tv/ offers both a subscription streaming service with the added option to buy or rent current titles for an additional one-off charge. This is a nice option, though the prices seem high to me for the one-off rentals and the subscription TV titles aren't that many. Still, good to have options. I think at one time Lovefilm had optional titles that you could pay extra for to stream, but not sure if they do now?

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Jesus .... how to upset people in a post ! - I guess you missed the tongue in cheek element on my reply.

No way was I trying to belittle you. I merely said that as an XL user myself, the cost of adding sports and movies is prohibitive for me, and I suspect some (but not all) users here.

If you watch a lot of sports and/or movies, then is is probably good for you, but as I rarely watch either, I cannot justify the expense

---------- Post added at 13:15 ---------- Previous post was at 13:12 ----------

Correct me if I am wrong, but you can record (and so keep films) on the Tivo or V+ for the life of the subscription to the movie channel, so I wonder if you will have the ability to record Netflix, or whenever this is an "on demand only" type

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Sorry Mutley mea culpa.... :dozey:

Yes you can keep films whilst subscribed to Sky Movies and they vanish with your subscription. Does anyone else think Netflix will be like this or On Demand only...?

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Netflix is streaming only. And will be via TiVo app only.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Was not aware of that, cheers PB! :)

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

I don't watch sports but for me, Sky movies is too expensive at £26.50 p/m with HD, which you have to have to get 5.1 audio.

Most of the films are endlessly repeated and although you do get to see films first on Sky movies, that's a heck of a premium for the few recent releases that you may want to watch.

I've had Sky movies via Now TV for about 5 months now, at £2.50 p/m on a special 6 month offer. The plan was to watch any new premiers that interest me that aren't available on Netflix. I've probably only watched on average one a month. So that will definitely get cancelled at the end of the 6 month offer.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Netflix aren't just some small company though, they have 30 million subscribers in the US alone. Heck Google wanted to buy them last year for 18 billion :shocked:

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

don't forget blinkbox too from Tesco

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Yes, they are an option. Personally, I never even consider them because of the high prices they charge.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

True - and the reason why Netflix is so successful is because they offer a lot for a cheap price (even more if you use proxy services).

Going after Sky means spending more on content, and the cost of that will at some point be passed onto us customers. How big would Netflix be if they charged £12 per month for some 1st-window movie rights? At that price, the likes of Now TV become realistic options.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Although you can't use a smart DNS on Tivo , however if using your ps3,xbox360,pc.tablet ec to watch Netflix you can use a Smart DNS and once you discover Netflix usa , canada etc it makes Skymovies look like a jumble sale lol.
Also unlike Skymovies Netflix has tv shows on it too , yes i know Sky have tv shows but atm i'm just comparing Netflix to Skymovies only. In my opinion Netflix is leaps and bounds better than Skymovies but this is possibly only because i use a Smart DNS service.
Netflix UK has been getting some major movies before Sky movies lately too to name just two The Hobbit a unexpected journey and Hansel and Gretel Witch hunters.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

It would be great to have Netflix as part of XL, and then we could pay an optional extra fiver or so to receive more modern films as deals are done with the studios.

I am sure that Netflix will be much better value than Sky Movies as time goes on.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

I'm lost with this comparison between Sky Movies and Netflix :confused:

Netflix is a great service if TV boxsets is your thing and its nice to have the added addition of some movies although mostly older ones.

If your a film buff and want purely movies then Sky Movies via Sky or VM or Now TV really is the clear winner , many of Netflixs movie range have been shown on terrestrial TV.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

You are absolutely right, but Netflix have stated that they will go all out to win studio contracts that are currently held by Sky as they come up for renewal. This will change the films landscape considerably (if they are successful) and although this is likely to increase prices, I am convinced that they will be able to undercut Sky by a huge margin, because we are definitely being overcharged at present.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

you would go to the cinema

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Are you suggesting that Netflix would become a two tier system? £6 for what they offer now, and a higher cost option of £11 to also get access to newer films? Personally, I'd be surprised if that happened.

---------- Post added at 12:44 ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 ----------

With large screens and 5.1 surround sound available in the home, the cinema is not as important these days; access to a lot of content is.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Many people on the Now TV forums claim the movie pass is too expensive at £15 , they state Netflix is much better value at £6 so maybe just maybe people prefer the lower priced services such as Netflix and Lovefilm just as they are , if Netflix were to outbid Sky and win most of the key studios you'd be paying considerably more probably as damn near the current movies pass price now.
Have you priced taking a family to the cinema for new releases lately ?
Exactly not in a million years , Netflix is an excellent service in its current form I believe they'll continue investing in originals and staying at the forefront of technology.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

I am not the film buff I used to be, but I still enjoy them greatly. I do not have Sky movies though, it's too much money to justify. I can get an unlimited cinema pass for £16. I am happy going to the cinema, renting movies from Blockbuster and buying favourites to add to my collection (there are loads of hidden gems knocking around dirt cheap these days).

The added bonus of renting/buying dvds/bluray are the extras you get. I still love movies, and greatly enjoy listening to commentaries and finding out the reasons behind certain story lines, characters etc, etc.

Sky (nor anyone else) do this as far as I am aware.

So for me, this is the clear winner in the way I want to watch my movies.

I am still unsure if I would pay £6 or more for Netflix, but it would be a viable option for me to consider. As much as I like the extras, sometimes I just wanna watch a movie.

Also, many of Sky's (and Netflix's) movies have been shown on t.v in the past and are available cheaply on-line or in stores.

---------- Post added at 13:38 ---------- Previous post was at 13:11 ----------

I do not see how the suggestion is much different from people taking Sky movies and paying extra to watch newly released movies on Sky box office or VM's equivalent.

Also, as was kindly pointed out to me, you have the option with Wuaki to pay extra for certain movies.
Whilst Lovefilm do have a different setup, they offer a two tier payment system, so people can pay extra to watch newer/different movies. As I say, it is a different system, but the principle of a two tier payment system clearly works for them.

Netflix could simply offer to stream the newer movies, rather than offer dvd/blurays too.

The two tier payment system seems a logical idea to me.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

I'm not saying that it isn't logical; I have no problem with it. I just don't think that Netflix will go down that route. A cheap price for loads of content, both film and TV has served them well; the proof of which is that they have 33 million subscribers world wide. They have a successful product ----- the cheap price being it's main attraction --- why change it?

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Fair enough, I just don't see why they would not want to try and expand their business. :)

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

That's incorrect Now TV movies pass is £8.99 :)

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Indeed that is correct but alas the eye watering £9.99 for a sports day pass is also true my master.:)

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

How exactly does that come into comparisons between movie services ? Any serious sports fans either go the games or watch on a traditional pay TV platform via a monthly sub , the day ticket is meant for casual watchers who may want to watch that special one off event or a day were there's a couple of games.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Just stating how expensive it can be for these things.:)

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Is that the long term price now? At one time it was one month free, three months at £8.99 and them £15 thereafter.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Its £8.99 every month now.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

£15 was way too dear and £8.99 is much more realistic l would say.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

That could be beyond me unless I drop Sky Movies.... :-(

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

So what you pay £16p/m on Sky satellite is way cheaper via the web?

I bet Sky weren't planning for that to happen.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

I agree however that's only half of the story your forgetting about HD charges ,

Sky Movies on Sky £16 , HD charge £5.25 total £21.25
Sky Movies on VM £19.50 , HD charge £7 total £26.50

Thats a lot more expensive than Now TV , the movies on Now TV are available in HD on certain devices however currently only at 720p clearly this needs improving further as Netflix PQ is superb. I believe there looking into 5.1 sound and adding Sky Store PPV rentals.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

At least on Sky Movies via Sky satellite, you get 5.1 on the SD version. Although you did at one time on Telewest, you have to pay for the HD version to get 5.1 now on VM.

If they add 5.1 and 1080p HD, then £8.99 would be very reasonable for films on Now TV considering that you get recent films. Personally though, I'd still prefer to spend my nine quid on a Netflix/Unblockus combination.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Cheapest way to get Sky Movies HD

VM TV M+ and Sky Movies HD = £40.50
Sky EE+ and Sky Movies HD = £53.25

VM offer it the cheapest.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

On my Kindle, I can obviously stream Lovefilm (and I assume Netflix), but to have Lovefilm on my wife's Kindle, I have to have her device on my Amazon account, so that she can also stream Lovefilm using my account. Clearly not an ideal solution as it's my credit card she will be using for shopping on Amazon !

Does anyone who has Netflix confirm that you can stream it to any multiple device ?

I'm thinking primarily here for when Netflix hits out Tivo, and wondering if the same account will enable me to stream to two different Kindles and three Laptops (but not at the same time obviously !)

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Well I log into Netflix with four different devices using the same log in information: a HTPC, Laptop and two different WD TV Live streaming Media Players.

Netflix allows two different shows to be streamed at the same time. There has been talk of allowing four different streams for an extra charge.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

You already can , login to your account online at the side were your plan is listed there's an option of 'change plan' when clicked you have two options two devices for £5.99 or four devices for £8.99.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Cheers MM; didn't know it had gone live as I have no need for it.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

But why would they not go down that route, and how do you reconcile your view with the fact that they have already said that they intend to compete with Sky for the movie contracts? Yes, the existing arrangement works well for them, but adding premium arrangements to the mix, but only if you want it, sounds even better.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Thanks for that - Until Netflix launches, I'll just let her use my Kindle. Lovefilm / Amazon have confirmed they have no plans to change the way they allow access, so I will probably drop them and go with Netflix (if I can ever find out what is on it without signing up - there seems to be no way of browsing ..."

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Here's a link to browse Netflix content https://signup.netflix.com/browseselection

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Are you sure that gives the full list? There seems to be lots of titles missing compared to what you can actually get.

Signing up for the one month free trial is the best way to see all content.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

I've found this site useful for seeing if a movie or TV program is on Netflix. You can set it to filter just by Netflix as it has most catch-up services covered: http://www.moreflicks.com/

If I recall correctly, Netflix only lets you see their whole selection when you join up as a member.

True, but I want to wait until Tivo has Netflix before I commit to any deal / trial

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

That's brilliant, Hugh! It's also got all the series of Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, Blue Bloods - all the stuff that we've missed on Sky Atlantic!

I'm lost for words and VERY pleased. When Netflix appears, I won't care two hoots about Sky Atlantic!! All the programmes I want to see are on Netflix!

Yoohoo!

I am ecstatic to find this. Netflix is definitely the way to go!! Wait until I tell my wife!

It's also got 'The Big C' on it - I've been waiting for Series 1 to be repeated, as I missed it first time around! Oh, joy.....someone let me down gently, I've never been on such a high!!!

Are you sure this isn't the US site? We are not getting this when it comes to the TIVO. Damn! I thought it was too good to be true!

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Be careful, if it's Netflix, it may not be the UK one; a drop down list shows which Netflix region it is on. It also list other streaming services other than Netflix, though you can choose to omit those in the search.

No HBO shows are on Netflix and Mad Men is on the US Netflix. Blue Bloods is on Denmark Netflix.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Yes, passingbat, it was the US version. Might have known! Still, it does give us an indication of what is to come as they sign up more contracts.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Just signed up for the free months trial to Netflix.(ready for when it comes to TiVo)
Got to say even their new releases are quite old(films). None of the latest 007 movies on there.
Some good tv series though.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Should of waited until launch as rumours are you'll get 6 months free. Also Netflix on pc etc is best used with a smart dns unotelly do them for about £3.40p/m :)

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

I really hope they make a decent app for Netflix on TiVo. The Spotify one is terrible! I've got a new Samsung smart TV with the Spotify app and it's light years ahead of TiVo's. Having said that Netflix is also available on my TV, so maybe doesn't matter to me too much, but I still want TiVo to be the main enterainment hub, so I don't need to use two remotes.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

The most popular smart dns (almost the standard one) on various UK Netflix forums is http://www.unblock-us.com/

I imagine it's this one, or a slight variation of, that was released for the Tivo Premier as part of the other Tivo updates that went along with it, that we are also getting with our Tivo update.

Netflix may launch tonight in some areas - rumours to be old Telewest areas with new Tivo update.

Old NTL areas rumour to follow next week.

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

Why are people suggesting using a smart dns?? I've got the US Netflix on my WD Live TV, Xbox & PS3 without using one. All I've done is change the DNS setting in each and hey presto :)

Re: VM preparing to add Netflix option to online ordering
 

With a smart DNS you can get every Netflix region, not just the US, with a very simple way to swap regions. Considering how cheap the monthly payment is, it's worth it for it's simplicity. You can also access other specific sites.
