Mine is the same on Xbox. Only happened because it was fine around 10:30.

Seems to be happening elsewhere on all devices:

Should add that I has to restart the app on the Xbox a few times before it signed in but that's not uncommon.

Technocentral · 13-10-2012 1:20am

Seems to be back now, enjoy, all.

I think it was mentioned before but The Grey is a fantastic film!

Breaking Bad season 5 has been announced for the 1st of November. Delighted they managed to get it so quickly, though I would have to wait until april or May!

Technocentral · 15-10-2012 7:35pm

Watched a great and really well made documentary called Style Wars from 1983, its about the graffiti movement with a bit of b boy stuff thrown in, some great characters and amazing shots of how rundown NY was back then, thoroughly recommend it.

No way! That is brilliant. I thought for sure like you we wouldn't get it till next May at the earliest.

Nope, I think the Irish one is actually getting it first this time.

Just signed up to Netflix yesterday as we got a new TV (Smart TV) and have it in-built. Very handy. Watched Two documentaries last night (Elmo: A puppeteers Story and Trekkies) At the minute I'm watching Bowling For Columbine. I was a bit hesitant about getting Netflix but I've been pleasantly surprised. Good selection of documentaries and movies to suit everyone's taste.

If anyone hasn't seen it, Bowling for Columbine is amazing at showing how stupid and trigger happy Americans really are!

A joke the way sky Ireland sewn up.. I remember a few years ago rte would have the sopranos and other hbo shows on as well as lost.. now there would'nt be a hope in hell of rte having those rights,

as far as netflixs goes it does'nt bother me, as I use the american version as well as the Irish one..

Watched "The Killer Inside Me" last night, excellent neo noir, Affleck and the guy who played his boss 'Bob" (Tom Bower) were fantastic, Hudson and Alba's characters on the other hand could have been played by any 2 bit actresses. Just two unbelievable bits though, wouldn't Alba's character have at least

put her hands up in front of her face when she was attacked

and there is no way that they would have let her

walk over to him in the house on her own at the end

. Plus you would have thought that would have been suspicious

about all that gasoline smell

. Overall though fantastic and it looked great, re the violence, Tarantino and Scorcese are 100 times worse for fetishising extreme violence, Winterbottom was showing the reality of what happens and it was only really 2 scenes out of a whole film.

No doubt, as bad as it was I'd be lying if I didn't find it enjoyable on some level.

"Netflix is not available in your location." Getting this again since last night on US Flix, anyone else?

billbond4 · 19-10-2012 3:29pm

yeah got that message, but hit retry about 3/4 times and programme eventually played

Andy-Pandy · 19-10-2012 4:14pm

Getting here as well

Edit: I was able to watch after I tried it about 6-7 times

billbond4 · 19-10-2012 4:17pm

might try some other workarounds, but if it works after retrying its not too bad

MyBrokenKnees · 19-10-2012 4:28pm

Working fine for me.No issues at all with it.

ziggyman17 · 19-10-2012 5:10pm

Mines perfect too

Reg'stoy · 19-10-2012 7:16pm

Had to hold down the X button on the PS3 controller, untill the error message disappeared and then it worked. Logging out and back in didn't help.

Yeah on my wii I double clicked the A button very fast to open programme and haven't seen message since

Anyone else watch Wilfred? Think its very good. A pot smoking dog and elijah wood. What's not to love

MyBrokenKnees · 20-10-2012 11:14am

If you check this site it will tell you if Netflix is down. Its seems to have been down a few times in the last 24 hours. http://downrightnow.com/netflix

Spoke too soon. Tried it this morning and have the error popping up on everything I try to watch. Takes maybe a dozen attempts to get something to play.

Anyone got more info on what the potential problem may be?

MyBrokenKnees · 20-10-2012 12:12pm

I'd say Netflix's servers are being put threw their paces this last week with them opening in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.

balfe1990 · 20-10-2012 12:13pm

19 episodes of Archer up.
Really funny animated comedy about a fictional spy agency.
Great stuff.

CMpunked · 20-10-2012 10:47pm

Anyone else watch Indie Game: The movie yet?

Good watch. Shows the dedication needed to make a game not from a huge company.

Watched it yesterday and really enjoyed it. Some crazy characters involved but makes for interesting viewing.

Just watched it today. Given that it covers a topic I'm not all that bothered about, I loved it.

Alexidium · 21-10-2012 4:12am

The Mechanic on Netflix is a good movie

Andy-Pandy · 21-10-2012 5:07pm

I've been watching Alpha's and enjoying it.

shortys94 · 21-10-2012 9:10pm

I am still having problems with the media not being able to play because of the region, is anyone else still having problems with this

Yeah but just keep pressing it a few times and it will eventually come on.

CMpunked · 21-10-2012 10:35pm

Netflix is still down. Seems to be having the biggest trouble when everyone wants to be on.

MyBrokenKnees · 21-10-2012 11:56pm

I've been on a Netflix marathon tonight no issues at all. Very strange that it works fine for some and not others

Yeah, really, really good.
I know the internet thinks Phil Fish is an arsehole but after seeing the movie I can totally empathise with him.

House of the Devil: Found it a great homage to the horror movie of the seventies. Babysitter get a job for a creepy couple. Nothing really happens for ages but even so you are extremely unsettled during the whole thing.

Good one for Hallowe'en.

ziggyman17 · 22-10-2012 6:21pm

still have to hold down x button ps3 controller to get shows loading, abit of a pain but I suppose it is better than nothing...

A solid, effective old school horror alright! The director's latest The Innkeepers is on the US Netflix too - if you liked House of the Devil, you'll more than likely enjoy it too. Same slow burning, old fashioned horror, albeit more of a ghost story.
