Prince of Persia has gone today. Not a bad film, better than Pirates. It's a shame it flopped.

All the Starz stuff goes completely on 29th feb.

Starz (with preassure from Disney) wanted Netflix to charge customers a premium price for Starz content, Netflix refused so their contract was not renewed.
If you click on any of the Starz content it says at the bottom 'only available until 29th Feb'

I tried watching Tangled on Netflix but the quality was poor. I've watched quite a few SD titles and they've been fine, but this one I didn't like so I've added it to my Lovefilm queue (bluray of course!)

shades8438 · 28-02-2012, 23:19

though does anyone know if there anymore news on new content deals for netflix in the UK as it kind of silly they got genres listed with no films or TV in them just empty.

What?? Nothings empty on any of my genre lists.

alanwarwic · 29-02-2012, 11:56

Anyone know what resolutions they stream at?

At low bit rate(300MB per hour) my 800 x 600 screen is filled and looks standard for TV shows.
I've not watched movies yet.

Netflix UK & Ireland ‏ @NetflixUK
You can now watch Debra - the live-action comedy series about a girl on a mission to improve the world! bit.ly/AtWzlO

A cancelled drama series for kids from Canada. Not quite what I was hoping for but at least they have added something.

shades8438 · 29-02-2012, 15:58

they could not be bothed to rate it in terms of cert really just guess a U or PG.

noise747 · 29-02-2012, 16:24

Not getting any better, in fact it is getting worse, I am at the moment accessing the U.S version, so happy enough, but if that stops then i will cancel .

neo_wales · 29-02-2012, 16:57

I've watched Warehouse 13, enjoyed that, my three year old grandson knows how to load netflix and he likes the children's stuff so for what it costs I'll keep the subscription. My lad uses the US site via a Wii but I've not looked yet, must get round to that.

suedehead · 29-02-2012, 21:09

What's the best way to access the US site, and is it above board?

Just check out unblock-us.com and follow instructions.

Technically, it's never above board unless you catch a plane to the US. It's less 'bad' than torrenting though, since at least we're paying a subscription to Netflix. Let's hope they turn a blind eye for years to come.

Why not use http://playmo.tv/ which does the same thing for nothing?

I hear it's not as good, it's slower and supports fewer devices and services (no Android, WDTV, BBC iPlayer support for example). It's only free because it's in beta so eventually when it's working properly they will charge. How have you found it? Are you getting UK BBC iPlayer content and Netflix US at the same time?

Not a problem at all, working fine on PS3 and XBOX.

Can you get UK BBC iPlayer content on those DNS settings?

To be honest I've not tried as I'm in the UK.

jrmich9 · 01-03-2012, 20:39

Anyone else having issues connecting to Netflix via PS3 in the last 24 hours? Both mine are having issues getting past the initial load screen (one wired to router, the other wifi)

Matt D · 01-03-2012, 20:44

Mine worked fine last night.

Are you using US Netflix or UK Netflix?

-GONZO- · 01-03-2012, 20:48

My Wii wasn't working last night and most of today, but within the last half hour it's connecting to US again.
And then I notice in the recently added section theres 78 episodes of Knightrider

Using US Netflix via the usual means. Last night I probably attempted sign in 15-20 times before it worked one time. Looks like I'm going through the same cycle today with little success so far....
