Am I doing something wrong or is this just how it works? On my smart TV I don't have to do anything

Have you checked that Netflix is specifically unlocked in parental controls? There is a separate entry for Netflix in apps and games and I think when Netflix was added it may have defaulted to locked. May be worth a check?

Cheers, will have a look, tbh it doesn't really bother me too much, but if it can be disabled then good enough.

You can remove the need for the PIN in the TiVo's Parental Control Settings. It used to drive me mad until I found that it could be turned off.

Tomorrow is their quarterly earnings report. No doubt the increase will be huge again.

Thanks for that, yes I did eventually find it, but didn't realise it would be under a different lot of settings. It was doing my head in

I'm not surprised you don't consider Sky Movies good value at £19.50 a month with a further £7 if you want HD

I was considering Sky Movies till I saw the total price, put me off the idea so I then took out a Netflix subscription.

When our contract ends we will be getting rid of Sky Movies and will continue with the Netflix offering as it gives us much better bang for our buck.

Don't miss SKY Movies after a couple of weeks of removing this package, have enough films to see on both LoveFilm.com disk rentals and Netflix!

I use the Now TV movie pass at £8.99 , I also have Netflix and whilst its originals and tv shows are pretty good the movies on the UK service are generally old hat.

I agree.

I've got my Smart TV set to UK Netflix, my Nintendo Wii set to American Netflix and my Smart Blu-ray player set to Canadian Netflix. Between the 3 I've got access to an incredible amount of new movies and TV shows all through my living room TV.

Unless you are on VIP, Sky Movies can be cancelled any time after 30 days.

Still missing out on a lot mate loads of new movies on Netflix Brazil and Mexico aswell as Norway. I found the best method was to use a paid smart dns such as unblock-us and just change the region as desired.
Netflix uk is on the Tivo box and my ps3 runs all the other Netflix regions.
I use Unotelly so for me it's just a simple case of using the app on my phone and changing the region.
