Ahh ... so funny again ... I have been watching Netflix with a US VPN account for the last 2 years ....

 

Btw windows phones in US comes with a free Netflix app for streaming videos right from day 1 he phone got released in Oct 2010. Windows phone is basically a Silverlight phone and netflix uses Silverlight DRM support to stream videos. So go figure ...

 

There is a lot more US specific content available in US which we cannot access in UK.

Seems a bit extreme to watch a few flicks :blink:

Which old films did you try Abz? I watched mothman prophecies last night and it was very good considering it's not HD. Also tried out Dirty Dancing (for the Wife) and it has an HD version of that. Most of the things I have tried have been in HD. The only one that was crap quality was April Fools, the quality is OK considering the age and quality of the original film but the picture is about half the size of the screen for some reason.

One was a old Indian film, another was Force Of Five which seemed the worst.

 

Other than that it seems pretty good & quick to load films, great on the iPad :)

 

 

Oh! Dirty Dancing "For the wife" :sly:

 

 

 

:D

I'll never live it down now :(

 

You know how it is though, you want something so you need to convince the Wife she wants it too. I had to show her all the sweeteners like Dirty Dancing in HD, in fact her response was "no, Patrick Swayze in HD". Then it was "oh go on then".

Just subscribed to this now. How often will the films run for before they change them? Anyone know.

 

I can't see them changing them, they will add to the library but they won't take any old ones away.

 

Will most likely be weekly or monthly updates.

Yeah yeah! Bet you cried too :D

 

I wish more content was available - Wanted to watch Fast Five, Million Dollar Baby & Four Lions :(

 

At the moment it is a great service at a fantastic price, but not worth the £72 a year as I hardly watch anything.

 

The things I do want to watch I normally just D\L.

I've watched around 20 flicks already. I'm constantly watching something on it :D

 

The content will increase but it's probably not really for you at the moment :)

Because I got the unlimited cinema card for me and the missus I don't think it might be.

 

Though the idea is fantastic and the price even better! I'd highly recommend it.

 

I have only watched 5! :D

I thought they were meant to be quite good. I was meant to watch Howard the duck yesterday which Scott highly recommends, Actually Neil I think it would be on your wavelength too.

 

You mean you haven't watched it yet? That's the last time I recommend a movie to you!

It may of been asked but im not going back through the last 5 pages. I only have 1.2 mbp download speed, Would it still work with internet that slow?

 

If it works in the same way as youtube and downloads in advance while playing the film/video there surely cant be any harm in starting it loading and pausing it to give it a 10-15 minute head start. How quickly would youtube take to load for say a 8minute video and then gauge it from that would be my guess.

Cool cheers

Surely as its free for a month you could just sign up and see if it downloads ok, if not cancel, thats what i am going to do anyways as i'm not sure on my speed.

Not as easy as asking here ;)
