    Watched the first episode of Moses Jones last night
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1276321/
    BBC detective program, its no Luther but worth a watch

    Is there a limit to the number of laptops/devices you can use your account on?
    Can I mark shows or films to watch later?
    Thanks.

    So far I have watched the following on Netflix

    Season 1&2 of Misfits - Great show not what I was expecting at all I thought this would be something like Heroes but its like Shameless with super powers, caught season 3 on 4OD and was not as good as 1st 2 seasons.

    Season 1&2 of Dexter - Another brilliant show that I did not get 1st time round totally gripping stuff only complaint is that there is only 2 seasons on Netflix

    Ep 1-6 S1 of 24: Never watched 24 1st time round and so far dont see whats the big deal with this show

    Food Inc - Documentary about how food is processed in the US was not bad but it could have went so much further , worth a watch though

    The Bridge - Documentary about people commiting suicide of San Franciso bridge, got to be honest this bored me totally and turned it half way

    All in all very impressed with it

    Watched Tell No One

    Very good French murder mystery

    And Dogtooth. Very odd, but intriguing too.

    The FAQ mentions the limit - I can't recall what it is though.
    The queue is is not on the Irish Netflix. USA one only as far as I know. Which is a great omission on the Irish one but I have hope they'll add one in as I often come across stuff I wanna see another time

    Ditto with Ulster Bank just going to have to get the other half to set up her own account and use her PTSB Visa Deit but suppose on plus side will get another month free

    Did Netflix actually take the €6.99 from your a/c? Because when I look at my statement online for the last week I can see a POS of €6.99, although it doesn't reflect who it's too. Also, Netflix still working for me as of 11pm last night.

    Oh, in that case I must be just lucky because the €6.99 is gone from my a/c in ulster bank :)

    Strange how that works, but I remember a similiar issue with Microsoft & ulster bank and them stopping payments before.

    My subscription has expired :( Thought it was really good and will only get better as time goes on. I'm not renewing my subscription at the moment, but I'll definitely look into it at another stage.

    The only think I didnt like was that I found the search function a bit cumbersome. If you could sort movies by top rated, it'd be great. Coming in here for suggestions helps with that though.

    IIRC, there are two types of Visa Debit card offered by Ulster Bank, depending on what type of account you have with them. When they were launched, one could be used pretty much everywhere with no problems, whereas the other was refused initially in a number of online locations. These were gradually sorted over time, but sounds like the exact same situation here if some are being refused and some not.

    I don't suggest anyone wade through this thread, but the initial teething problems were discussed in there.

    I see, I must have had the free for all one, the only trouble I ever had was with Microsoft, and that was only because it was an "unusual transaction".

    Hopefully they get this sorted quick for all the people who are having issues.

    Ditto with UB Visadebit. Don't Netflix test simple things like this before they launch????? Dumb or what.

    ps Their Twitter account says UK & Ireland but its @NetflixUK. I DO NOT like this. Smacks of ignorance.

    Are netflix being selective with what films or choices they have in certain areas? Last night I was over near the Aviva stadium and was watching some of the film True Grit on my ipod. I only got about half an hour in before I went back home to baldoyle. When I got home I went to watch the rest of the film but netflix said the film wasnt available. I tried both Ipod and pc and no luck

    Yep, more westerns are available on it over Landsdowne direction and more sci fi in the Baldoyle area for some reason.

    I got netflix and have to say I love it. The content is a little poor but its only starting over here so im sure it'll get better.
    My issue is this though, I bought an LG smart tv and a samsung 3d dvd player.
    LG 42LW650T and Samsung HTD5100 BLURAY HOME CINEMA SYSTEM.

    Netflix cannot be got on with either of these units even though they are both smart enabled.
    In the US, the same tv can get Netflix so I rang both LG and Netflix twice and both of them told me it was down to the other. Netflix said they would like their product on everything and have to waitr for LG to release the app in Ireland.
    LG told me almost the exact same thing in reverse. So I rang them both back only to be assures of the same things again. So where do I go from here.

    Anyone know why we cant get netflix on almost all smart tv's bar a few high end samsung ones and one LG bluray player. Just seems silly considering what netfilx is and what smart tv's are.

    Has anyone had anymore info on this issue with the lack of compatible units to support netfix?

    thanks

    I have an Irish Netflix account and have access to the Us content through my ps3. I'm just wondering can I do this on the Wii too? And if so, how?

    I presume changing the DNS on the actual router then it should work.

    For me it's not about the movies.. For me netflix will sink or swim by it's tv content.. I love all old tv shows, being able to watch them on demand is great, hopefull alot of the us tv content will be added to the irish netfiix soon, if not Ill stop using the netflix service..

    Since when is the quality of movies determined by how new they are?
