[Home] [Merged] Netflix.ca is finally here :)

I can't stream to more than one device at a time. all my devices are different. All using same network. It also doesn't if 2 devices are on 2 different networks.

Do you have Canadian or US Netflix?

I can confirm that on the US Netflix, my daugher is watching a movie right now in the living room on our Apple TV 2, and I just loaded something else on the computer and it played fine, so 2 at a time works for me.

Two streams at once.

Both on the Canadian account, no unblock stuff of course.

[Kokuronori]

Normally I can stream a kids show in the other room and watch something like Quantum Leap in another room, but it looks like as of today, they are now enforcing a 1 stream limit on me.

Tried again tonight with all combos of Ipad, Iphone, ATV, PS3, and laptop...can't stream to more than one at a time.

So what is the situation with the queue? Am I the only person that still doesn't have it?

[JamesA1]

Not only do I not have the queue on my Samsung TV Netflix client, the Recently Watched section has disappeared again for the last few days. That means I can only find things I was in the middle of watching by searching for them by title (if I remember). It's so annoying when that happens, and it seems completely random and arbitrary. I can't even complain to Netflix about it because they have no online customer feedback.

35 movies added yesterday ... including Escape from LA, Event Horizon, Bobby Fischer against the World, The Dead Zone, Enemy at the Gates, .... and my favorite -> HELL IS FOR HEROES (w/ Steve McQueen).



By contrast, not too much new on US Netflix ...

[BobSagget]

They also added Being Human on the 16th too. It's the UK version it's a pretty good show.

[BobSagget]

I was thinking about trying the UK Netflix (all my other UK content works great), but then how would unblock.us know if you want US or UK streams?

If you want to check out the UK netflix try http://www.real-vpn.com (free and I can do about 5Mbit down)
They have US and UK servers. I'm connected to their UK server right now and now have access to shows like:
The Inbetweeners
Misfits
Warehouse 13
Peep Show
The Thick of It
West is West
and 4 seasons of Doctor Who 2005 which I am really excited about. I love that show.

Plus a whole bunch of other stuff. This is great. I am no longer planning to cancel my netflix account. I didn't know that we could just change our IP and gain access to all the other stuff. I thought we had to sign up for either a US account or a Canadian account.

so if i sign up for the canadian netflx, and turn on hotspot shield or whatever to make it a US IP, and re-login, i'll have access to american content? it can't be that simple, or is it?

also, how many GB does one use up in lets say 1 hour of streaming netflix? i am trying to figure out how much 1-2 hours per day of netflix will impact my 120 GB cap on rogers cable internet.

This might give you an idea, from netlix.ca settings page,

Manage video quality

We know that some of you have Internet data caps and we want to make it easier for you to manage how much data you use.
We offer 3 video quality settings to help you manage your data usage. No matter what level you choose, your Netflix membership price will remain the same.

    Good quality (up to 0.3 GB per hour)
    Better quality (up to 0.7 GB per hour)
    Best quality (up to 1 GB per hour, or up to 2.3 GB per hour for HD)

Netflix advertise it as that easy. Your account works anywhere in the world based on your location. In the UK, you get UK content. In Canada, and so on.

As for the bandwidth, you can adjust it in the settings. It's approximately 1 gig per hour in full HD. But settings allow you to decrease it to a max of 300 MB per hour. The medium setting is a bit higher, although I don't remember exactly. Simply put, you have flexibility.

Although it does sound like a good time for you to look into alternate options , of which there may be many? Depending on finances and locale of course. 120gb is so paltry

[andsoitgoes]

And as for real-VPN, it's fine but from what I can see, it does no good unless you can arrange for a router which handles the ability to configure a VPN directly, this will only work on a computer.

So for those of us who view Netflix on an iOS device, PS3, Xbox, etc, it does no good, free or otherwise.

[Jimboski]

Quick question... How many people can use Netflix at the same time? Some said more then 5 and some said 1..

[ishagi]

Just in case you read RFD more than you do Netflix or InstantWatcher, there was a BIG BIG US Netflix update today (23rd) - >7pages of newly added movies. Enjoy!!
