Would taking out a free trial after the series has ended be worth doing ie do the episodes accumulate on the VOD service?
Either "unblocked" or "pirateproxy" that's how i watch it

Well you could buy a pass from somewhere like game.co.uk or Amazon for £15 for 3 months then technically you wouldn't be paying any money to Sky!

And you'd have 3 months to catch up or watch Westworld as well as any other content not available on VM

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

Thanks.

Does anyone here use TV Player Plus?

If so, is it correct that the W channel has been removed?

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

.... don't know, sorry. But I was looking at that as an alternative to cable tv, but the lack of HD makes it a no no for me at the moment.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

According to post 741 of this thread:

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/s...702913&page=50

The new VM TiVo will have Netflix 4K and will be at a reduced price of £7.

How much is it normally?

I know that VM obtain a small commission each time someone signs up for Netflix via the TiVo, so this discount will encourage this.

Even if people don't have a 4K TV, I wonder if it would be cheaper to sign up via VM for Netflix HD?

Turns out that he actually meant that a particular programme wasn't available due to streaming rights!

Have you found this happens often with streaming devices?

Happens sometimes yes even with nowtv, if it happens it normally pops up on on demand later (nowtv) if not then kodi is your friend.

Thanks- I'll pass that on.

This article updated last July says that Netflix HD is £7.49. I'm assuming that HD content is available on the 4K service, so if this information is correct, those subscribing to Netflix HD could get the price back down to £7 and have 4K in place by signing up with VM.
