Nice one, thanks.

Don't get the bitrate on the WD box and as said previously, only 1080HD, so don't know if that's super HD or not. The bitrate is a great addition IMHO.

The netflix systems are a bit stupid then

just looked and that is the case

They do some get away by making multiple paypal accounts and using them to sign up , Netflix are getting wise to this and will be introducing a address system soon.
So you will have to enter your cc plus your billing address.

but paypal has to be tied to a bank account or a card and will not let you use the same for more than one account

You cannot reuse the same card again, I tried myself. You can only use either a card or PayPal account once along with an email address once for the free trial.

Netflix don't see the card or bank account details for them to check against their system, all they can check it the paypal email address. They send an authorisation to PayPal to take the payment and then wait for the authorisation back.

They just remove the credit/debit card from the paypal account and use it on new paypal account.
Personally i'm quite happy to pay £5.99p/m for Netflix as i think it's great value especially when used with a smart dns on my ps3 or pc.

I'm with theone2k10 on this one. I don't see why at such a reasonable price you feel the need to rip Netflix off

I'm a bonafide subscriber now. I just did it because I was very indecisive about whether it was for me or not. In the end I decided it was and have been subscribing for a while now

You have to remember when there is a free regular lunch then some will continue to go for that free lunch PB.

The trouble is old boy you are never pleased and perhaps it because you are one of those GOM.

I signed up for Netflix quite a few months ago. I had a free month but never felt the need to cheat them. I do use Hola to access the U.S. Netflix but i do not see that as stealing. I can view it on my laptop, phone, Nexus 7 and tv through the Xbox - i am eagerly awaiting the tivo update. Even in the few months since i have been a Netflix customer it has improved and many more things are available. It would be good to see them give Sky a run for their money for movies.

Netflix is popular so having that available to those who want it
Easier screens for managing planned recordings/series links
Back to back recordings which frees up your tuners

That's what I like about it anyway.

It's worse than exploiting free trials, you're viewing content that is not available to you at all.
