Poor Selection on Netflix

Yeah, the series.
Cars2 was also popular.
The little fella is still quite young, so is fussy about what he watches.

Hey Arnold is gone to. I loved watching that show

I think it's worth keeping in mind that stuff like Cars will back in a very short while. Netflix has tonnes of Disney content. Owing to the nature of digitals rights and what not, lots of stuff disappears from the time to time but reappears again very soon.

I installed Hola on Nexus tablet.
I can watch Netflix America, Canada and other countries. My Chromecast will NOT cast USA Netflix, but I can watch it on the tablet.

Just installed Holo on my tablet and am delighted. I have a subscription to US unblock and before I cancel it just wanted to check if this a good idea. Im watching canadian netflix at the moment, Homeland first season, never thought id see it on netflix.

Thanks for the holo tip guys,

Watch the documentary "Happy People: A Year in the Taiga (2010) " on American Netflix.
Fantastic.

If you use an American based dns ,does the speed/quality of your connection depend on that dns server or does it only use the foreign dns to initiate the download ?

I assume the DNS just redirects your Netflix traffic to a proxy/VPN type service (the DNS address mentioned further up the thread belongs to PlaymoTV who run just such a service).

Has anyone ever been cut off for using the US Netflix or similar? Someone told me a while back not to do it.

Cut off by who? Doubt netflix would cut you off, they might, if they wanted to, bump you back to Irish version, but don't think they would want to lose their 7 euro a month.

I suppose it depends on whether they see it as a TOS violation or not. But if they aren't cutting anyone off, then it's obviously not an issue.

I've not heard of anyone being cut off, not to say it's never happened though I suppose.

I seriously doubt they care whether people are accessing the US version or not. The only difference is that they do not own the rights to these shows in the UK and Ireland.. Unless they were forced to stop people they are more than happy to take your €84 a year..

Big problem they have here is Sky own the on demand rights for lots of movies.

I can't remember exactly where I read it but I'm pretty sure that Sky's claim to exclusivity rights (whereby they can air content up to 24 months before any other broadcaster) expires in 2016. They make rights agreements with the distributors for the most part and the studios directly for the content which is deemed to be in high demand but that has a shorter shelf-life AFAIK. Netflix are currently in a rights battle with Sky to acquire the rights as of 2016 onwards and from what I remember are in a prime position to basically oust Sky from the streaming market.

I'm open to correction and if I can find the article(s) I will post them here.

For example, I watched the 'Netflix original' show Orange is the New Black yesterday and found it to be really good. Same with House of Cards. Am starting to watch Weeds now too. I am on a free subscription, don't know if I will keep it up (paying for it) , even with the US proxy version though.

Both of these shows were excellent. We have started watching Lillehammer aswell which is enjoyable and is another netflix original. Hemlock Grove on the other hand was awful. Also got to look at the entire back catalogue of Dr Who and am currently working through Breaking Bad.

€6.99 per month with no adds? That is cheaper than a TV licence by a long way.

killbillvol2 · 12-01-2014 02:11PM

Season 2 of House of Cards (all episodes together) is available from Feb 14th.

Spacey, class! Have been waiting on this.

Barr · 13-01-2014 12:22PM

For me House of Cards is the best show I’ve seen for years. Well worth checking out for anyone who hasn’t seen it.

miamee · 13-01-2014 12:44PM

I've been told that the original British version of House of Cards is even better than the US version and worth checking out - it is available on Netflix.

I found Lillehammer ok, Hemlock Grove I really wanted to like but 5 and a half episodes in I just gave up, it was awful. I do find that I run out of things to watch and have to go searching but I started watching Spooks from the start at the weekend. I have never seen an episode before and I am hooked...there are several seasons on Netflix so no doubt that will keep me busy for a while

The_Honeybadger · 13-01-2014 02:49PM

Brotherhood is a good show and worth a watch, full series is on netflix irl.

Watched spooks last year myself, was hooked from the start but it did lose it's way a bit in later seasons IMO. The last season was missing off netflix so I had to borrow a box set to finish it, not sure if they have put it up at this stage.

Too bad you'll be hit with the Broadcast license anyway even if all you watch is Netflix.

I have a TV too but don't pay any cable fees etc so netflix is the only TV we get.
My point was to highlight what you get for your money in Netflix as opposed to what you get for twice the price with your TV licence.

But not trying to go off topic on a TV licence thread.

Spooks is one of the best tv shows to come out of the UK, I watched from the start and it was a killer every year wondering would it be back.

That is the great thing about Netflix it has saved me thousands on box sets I would have bought over the last two years.

It is better and well worth a watch.

For those that have american/Canadian netflix, The West Wing, entire series is there. Damages and The Good Wife are also quite good. Friday Night Lights, Madmen, Scandal and The Tudors I found really good too.

Funny, I don't think we are allowe discuss it, but I will just say that I have only ever come across DNS coses (i.e. for the PS3) for the US version - never the Canadian.

joe123 · 14-01-2014 11:10AM

Some amazing South Korean thrillers on the US Netflix. Just google a US DNS and set it to that.
