Netflix password sharing crackdown?

[Hanno Labuschagne]

Hey all

We have seen a bit of an increase in South Africans reporting Netflix blocking streaming on a single account in multiple households.

Has anyone recently had the same experience?

 

[Rickster]

Yes, started last year already.

Old news.

When on your own account in your own home, also log into Netflix on your mobile on the same Wifi.

When you go to home 2, log into mobile and say you're traveling. It will log in and you can setup on TV2/home2

Do this again WITHIN every 14 days for it to work ... first home 1 then home 2
The account must see that you're traveling with mobile between locations.

Interesting, does this work continuously? In other markets Netflix supposedly only allows 14 days out-of-main-household per month.

No I saw it once in the years since they started doing it.

Constantly annoying me on my OWN bloody devices.

****ing anti-consumer bullshit.

Mostly yes. When you lapse the 14days, you'll get that image from OP.
