Netflix ZA Live

Capitec by any chance?

No Nedbank.

Does this mean the content is now hosted in ZA? Been using Netflix US and streamed mostly without any issue on a 4MB line in HD.

I suspect they'd probably try and mirror all the content here - but I'm not sure if that is currently the case.

^ on a 2mb line, does it stream OK?
In HD?

It will stream okay to maybe 2 screens in SD. HD definitely not on 2 screens, maybe 1. When I got throttled by MWeb I could stream to 1 SD screen fine, just had to force Netflix to only stream SD, otherwise it will try to switch to HD every time and it becomes stuttery

Found house of cards going via Unotelly, tried to play with SA Netflix account:

I've cancelled my SA account, only effective 5th Feb, sticking with US Netflix account.

A Netflix account is a Netflix account.
Content visible is based on your location.
That's why unotelly works.
Only reason to change from a us to za account would be if they switched pricing from dollars to rands and dropped it a bit. Otherwise the accounts should be functionally identical.

Yip, suppose I could have just disabled Unotelly without signing up for a new account and I would have achieved the same result with my other account. Was hoping I would get charged in rands but no luck either.

If you already have a US Netflix account can you still watch the SA one?

Yup, tried this morning even works from our Work internet lol

Will be interested to see the response from ShowMax, they may need to up their game a bit.

now if only the Networks can Make Netflix data zero rated we can watch stuff any where.

Ya I know I got some unbelievable dreams

So now that I have signed up to Netflix - if I set up unotelly at home and change region to US - will my ROKU Netflix app automatically show US content?

As long as the Roku is using the Unotelly DNS servers it should.

+1, still waiting on the promised Apple TV app for starters.

My last Netflix sub cost me R126.37 (02 Jan) thats for the 2 screens equivalent , so not cost effective for me to switch to an SA account yet

 

[Pitbull]

signed up.

Disappointed that we are getting netflix lite. At same price as full US offering?

one word: UNOTELLY!!!

 

[raind33r]

Any site to check if the netflix app is in the Samsung Hub store?
Without switching to ZA off course
