    Is there currently any way to create a 'Watch Later' list, be it on the site or a device? I know the recommendations, but I'd like to be able to see a film on the site and add it to a list so it reminds me to view it at a later time.

    If you watch a film/programme for about 10 seconds, it will be in your recently viewed section.
    Only way I know of.

    Is there any way to monitor your data usage on the ps3?
    I only use Netflix on the ps3 and not on the laptop at all so no point in me downloading a tracker on the laptop.

    You'll have to do the bandwidth monitoring yourself. Netflix's usage estimates:

    "Good" - The default setting with good picture quality and lowest data use per hour (about 0.3 GBytes/hour)
    "Better" - Better picture quality and medium data use per hour (about 0.7 GBytes/hour)
    "Best" - Best picture quality and highest date use per hour (generally about 1.0 GBytes/hour - or up to 2.3 GBytes/hour when streaming HD content)

    Solution: just move to UPC :pac:

    On the subject of upc...

    Recently joined netflix and on upc myself.
    In the small print of the "UPC unlimited package" it states its subject to fairuse, something like 250gb a month. Which is certainly alot. But hardly unlimited :pac:

    Wonder what UPC would do if you went over the limit. As by juding from the usage you said its perfectly possible for a person to go over.

    It's not outside the realms of possibility (if you watched 2 HD films a day, every day), but it's still literally ten times as much as the highest eircom package, and ten times as fast.

    I just switched over recently, and not having to actively monitor usage like I had to with eircom is a joy.

    UPC broadband is a gift.
    Eircom are, being totally honest, a bunch of ripping off c**ts :)

    I had broadband with them for 8 years. Their packages compared to UPC were a joke. With upc you could get 3 times the speed and it worked out cheaper (I was on 7mb eircom and switched to 20mb UPC) But the one thing that annoys me most about eircom is the line rental :mad: If memory serves me correct it was something like 27 euro per month. Before you even loaded a webpage or used your phone or what not.

    I have UPC and the data limit is 500gb. I know it's unlikely I'll exceed this but I wanted to make sure.
    How would I monitor it at the router? I use the playstation, laptop, and 2 iPhones on the Internet at home so keeping track of it would be handy. I posted already in the broadband forum but it all got too technical for me!!

    You probably can't, by using the UPC standard modem. This is an inherent problem with UPC. For years, UPC have been telling customers "Just install DU Meter". That's a bull**** line and a cop out for UPC. DU Meter only monitors traffic on one PC.

    Complain to UPC that you want them to provide a facility for customers [you] to check their usage. Almost every other provider supplies this service. THEN ring them every day, and ask what your usage is month to date.

    Realistically, you will find it VERY hard to break 500GB. I would suggest that you would find it very hard to break 50GB in a month, with standard usage, including Netflix, surfing, email etc. Assuming staying away from torrents, legal or otherwise.

    Thanks for the advice.
    I'm going to send them an email later today.
    It's ridiculous in this day and age that they don't have a monitoring facility for customers as I presume it'd be fairly simple for them to implement.

    Of course it is. They have it already. How else would they know if you went over your allowance?

    They just don't have a customer facing view of it.

    There are a few possible reasons for this

    1. They don't have the technical resources to do this
    2. They don't have the financial resources to do this
    3. They don't care enough to do this

    I'm straining to come up with any other possible reasons. Really, what other possible reasons could there be?

    Eircom 10 years a go had this facility built into their account management page with their broadband package.
    You are talking back before even a 2mb line was even possible in home broadband.
    UPC are seriously trying to say they cannot implement a simple system like this? Bullcrap!

    Finally signed up today and started Breaking Bad.

    Forgot to do it via Fatcheese so lost myself 14 quid - disappointing!


    About the quality, its automatic, right? I thought the PQ was reasonable on my 32inch but the SD symbol maintained for the entire episode.

    Perhaps just my conection?

    If you sign up via them you get 14 euro cashback just for watching 5 hours worth of material (from my reading of the T&Cs you don't even have to stay beyond the free trial).

    I forgot to "clickthrough" to netflix website via the Fatcheese website.

    For the Irish Netflix - yes, always HD.
    The other one(;)) - not really, it's sometimes "blocky", never HD and I have UPC 50meg.

    Sorry, you mean that there is no adjustment to be made if using the Irish version?

    You control it via the pc itself, save the settings & that sets the quality for any device you use your account with
