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
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
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?

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

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

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.

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.

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