VOD : Netflix/Streaming Services

[muppetman11]

Have to admit I find there's far too many sacrifices and hoops to jump through to use all these services with smart DNS , I don't want to watch TV on the computer or have to wire the computer to the TV.

Most of the pay services require a US address and if you want to use the official apps you need a US device , I can see the appeal of Netflix different regions for some though.

I can understand where you're coming from mate, i use hulu+ and Netflix on my ps3 logged into my uk account. I did need to log into my us account to get the app.Also i had to set the smart dns up on my ps3 too which is easy enough to do. As for us addresses most just require the zipcode i just use 90210 lol. Although wwe network did require a us address which i used the New York central library as the address.
I do have my pc connected to my tv but that's because atm Bein sports app isn't very good plus i use my pc for some gaming too and only have a little 17inch monitor for my pc lol.

I've seen a story on Fox News today that Netflix are increasing their prices in USA by approx $1 - $2 a month, about £1 - £1.50 if similar follows in UK.

If that happens then they know what they can do.

I'll still use it. A £1 increase after god knows how many years of only being £5.99 isn't going to break the bank.

As howard said give HULU a go you'll be impressed i think, as for game of thrones there are otherways of watching it if you look around

I don't get texts lol. Also i wasn't allowed the free trial due to none us paypal account, but as i mentioned earlier in the thread i got a 12 month subscription anyway for £20 which is excellent value imo as you'd pay that just for 1 month of Sky tv.

Soz ment email lol,just got one this morning to say the blacklist and the following are in my queue

[MaverickJesus]

Its an increase for new subscribers only. I know most of you are of pensionable age but do try to put in a bit of effort.

Yes, it's a great system; I've been using it for a good while. The problem I have is keeping up with all the new episodes!

Have to agree, especially when using all the Netflix regions, it will still be great value.

You can get extremely small computers or ones that look like a piece of AV gear, so don't look out of place. You can get fairly quiet ones and ones that are fanless so completely silent. I know it's extra expense, but when you are not paying a £70 to £100 p/m sub, it can pay for itself fairly quickly.

Netflix justification for the coming price increase was "to pay for new content acquisitions"

I've heard whispers that Netflix are gearing up to take Sky on for movie rights. I think most studios only have a year left in their deal with Sky. I'm not 100% about that though so hopefully someone a bit more in the know can clarify that.

The first in a long line of price increases one imagines.
