No mention of a subscription arrangement as part of a bundle with VM, which is frustrating.

Maybe from January next year? Just had an email to say that as a Virgin media/SamKnows Broadband panellist I will be getting 6 months free NetFlix from Jan' 2015 as a reward for running their SamKnows unit instead of the previous draws for Amazon vouchers we used to get entered in for.
I'm guessing if by then Virgin have NetFlix as a subscription option it will be easier for them to offer their panellists this? but obviously it could just be a total coincidence

BSKYB and 21st Century Fox have made additional investments in Roku today.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Trying to access "The Killing" (the American version) on Netflix, but can't seem to do it. Could someone else try and see if they can get it please? Everything else is available, but not that.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
The UK version via the tivo app. It's just struck me that it may have been pulled because the story is about a teenage girl who is murdered and found in water, which is unfortunately topical!
