netflix download usage

Hi all,
Would be obliged if someone can clarify the following.

I have fibre option 1 with 40gb limit and am considering adding Netflix to my BT tv.
I have a You View box from BT and a Panasonic blueray recorder which also has 2 HD tuners along with a Netflix app.
My question is will Netflix count against my download limit regardless of whether i order through BT or direct from Netflix and would 40gb be enough assuming i watched 2 films a week in HD.
Thanks in advance for any input.

If you take the subscription directly via BT then it doesn't count but I'm not sure if that's the case if you do it independently which would be the preferred way to do it so all your eggs aren't in the same basket. http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/50148


As for bandwith. It's 3GB per hour so a movie is going to be anywhere from 4.5GB and 9GB for most movies. So 2 movies a week would be pushing your cap
