Netflix- One account on multiple devices?

Its not that easy.I use internet during weekends and late nights.then its fine for downloading and streaming.But I'm not the only person there.During the day my line is shaped to death and you not getting even a crumb out of that 56k dial-up...


Openweb? :p
 
I suspect this is the reason why less than half of Mybb users do not have have Dstv and therefore MC does not care or worry about us...everyone is streaming all their content off the internet for 13$ and line rental with uncapped internet.

I gave up Dstv when they started reaching R500 a month.no way im paying that insane amount of money for poor programming.Piratebay became my best friend.then torrentreactor,Kickass torrents and now Eztv.And now I've stumbled into a problem.Hard-drive space is non existent.I download faster than I can watch and delete.

Yup.

We canned DSTV in Nov 2012 in favour of streaming.
When the world cup started I reactivated it so we could watch the matched in HD on my projector. Reactivated the full premium package with Xtraview. Then I sat back to see how it would used by the family.
The single only person that uses DSTV (besides wifey and me for the football) is my son in the AM. He watches while eating breakfast.
That's it. No-one uses it and we have it active both upstairs and downstairs.
After the world cup, I can it again.
 
I have no idea how the Smart Tv's work I don't own one sorry. Maybe someone else can answer that? You use Unotelly for region as currently Netflix and Hulu is region locked. So Unotelly does that for you. The thing here is though that I have not seen sport streaming on any of those. For that I would recommend you get a NowTV device. Then you have access to SkySport. For all your Sporting needs like Rugby and what not :p 6 Sport channels.
NowTV is great but you don't need a NowTV box - any Roku will do plus you can load netflix on it right alongside of the NowTV app. I have both and the main advantage of the NowTV is the price :)

You can also stream NowTV from a browser fwiw.

Also keep in mind Sky Sports on NowTV is expensive - £9.99 for a day pass. You can also load BBC Sport and iTV if you've set up your roku for UK.

So best would be to just get a Roku instead?

This is great, I wasn't aware. Thanks bwana.
 
I'm using a Samsung Bluray-player with smarthub, on my non-Smart TV. You just need to change the country of the BD-player to US, otherwise you can't install the Netflix app (very easy to do with a few key-presses on the remote). I'm also running Plex on it.
 
Currently I used Netflix + Hulu on my media centre pc, running plex for my old downlaoded contents.
I am still playing with plex as it mapped all my series in wrong folders. So I will have 21 jump street in my 24 folder and visa versa.
But that is a discussion on its own.

I currently still running Hola to spoof the regions and I know it makes it slower but I have no issue with my 2mb line currently.
I will need to go Unotelly soon as I want to hook up the Apple tv's to the other 3 rooms in the house.

I must agree that UK has better contents the only thing I miss is that Arrow season 2 is not aired yet on either Hulu or Netflix on any region unless I missed it.

There seems to be a few show a bit out of date, but in general I am almost done re-educating the household and will be switching off the MC very soon.
