Netflix - Extra Member
evening, this may be a bit early for people to know, but Netflix annouced they are cracking down on password sharing in UK now, which was to be expected.
I have a daughter who uses by Netflix (I have Premium, so pay an additional £5). I was looking to see if how i can add her as an extra member - [quote from netflix] - Option to add up to 2 extra members who don't live with you £4.99
I would downgrade, to basic, so actually cost nuteral. But then Netflix say "Extra members cannot be added to partner packages or third-party billed accounts.".
Am i reading this correct, that if i subscribe through Virgin (as part of my bundle) I cannot add an extra member?

Re: Netflix - Extra Member
I understand that you will be able to create your family group through the Netflix app on your Virgin Media set top box.

Re: Netflix - Extra Member
A friend of my Fathers was telling him that his son shares with him and has him down as Dad. He got an email asking to verify all the users were legit to which he said yes and that was it

We got an email, and then we had to register as the main IP Address - we have paid another £4.99 for my daughter's house to have a single user ID at that IP address (send an invite, she then logs on, Robert's your father's brother.

When I get that email I'll be cancelling my Netflix and source everything via TeaTV/BeeTV apps as well as Amazon Prime.
Well done Netflix you have lost another customer.

We upgraded our tier and then left my mum's TiVo logged in. She now has her own Netflix via her VM account. Do we now down grade?

Re: Netflix - Extra Member
My son added us to his account 6 months ago. Watched a couple of films but nothing else of interest on there. Bamboozles me why folks pay for this. There's crap for free elsewhere.
