    Hi

    I had Netflix about 1 x year ago but ended up dropping my subs after 2 x months due to fact that there was nothing decent on it.

    I got a recent email asking me to try another FREE month... but has it got any better???

    Are we in Ireland still getting short-changed as against the US version...

    It's handy to just throw something on while you're in bed.Nothing great,but worth it for the convenience.

    U sure its offering another free month?
    I was the same as yourself, but have since gotten emails just to resign up at same cost!

    It's crap for films, but I have gotten into a good few TV shows that I'd probably never have known about if not for them. I wouldn't pay much more than what they charge at the moment though.

    Is it done by IP, or do you have to spoof an American billing address?

    All I do is use a new card every month. I've gotten 4 months free netflix now exploiting that new member offer!

    Get it then just use a VPN to get access to the American/Canadian/Brazillian netflix. They have the best movies.

    IP and even then it's still not worth it imo. Even if it was free I don't think Id use it anymore.

    I like it to find new (to me) shows, but know that they're not up-to-date. I've come across the rare film or too that I've really enjoyed that I probably would never have watched otherwise. As I said, for 7 quid it's just about worth it for me.

    Ta - I use a WDTV Live though, so I think I'd need to do something at the router level.

    Decent service so long as you aren't expecting brand new releases on it.

    Yeah there's a chrome extension that let's you use the American version. It's so much better then the UK and Ireland version. We get ripped off tbh!

    Use Mediahint for netflix us. Its free and its an app on google chrome. Its more reliable than a VPN.

    Also orange is the new black is ****ing amazing. Also is house of cards. Plus there is a ton of decent tv shows and movies on US netflix.

    Its free, take it

    That's what I like about Netflix. You can renew membership for a month then cancel straight away after you renew so once the month is up, your membership ends. They make it very easy.

    I've let membership lapse a good few times, then renewed the odd month to watch something, then cancelled again straight away.

    I dunno, it costs me ~0.23c a day, and I've watched a lot of stuff on it.

    6.99 a month... just a couple euro more than the price of a pint in the pub. I know which I'd prefer TBH. :cool:
