I do and also use unlocator for IP address. Get everything on Apple TV

Using netflix via xbox one, Must say i am loving it till now, I am on a 10 mbps unlimited connection and any movie is streamed instantly and the quality shuffles between 720 and 1080p. If you have unlimited connection, Netflix is really worth it.

Not too impressed by Netflix India. Was watching a movie on a 16 Mbps DSL line and then on a 100 Mbps FTTC connection. No difference in quality. Given the limited number of content that's interesting to me I'll probably cancel a few days before the free month is up.

Usually these services have a 1 or 2 week trial period. There are step by step guides in the respective services about how you can configure you devices to get connected. They also offer way to verify that you are actually connected.

Have been using Getflix (which is similar to Unlocator) and the experience has been good.

Please visit www.unlocator.com and they will guide step by step. Kindly note that it is a paid service. I am using this for more than an year and service has been extraordinary!

Does anyone keep getting and error in the middle of a netflix movie/series often that says Netflix is having an issue loading the content.Try again.??

This error has been coming up very often for me over the past month and the internet connection is working perfectly. Hence the problem is from the Netflix server.

If this continues I am going to cancel my account soon.

What device are you using to access Netflix. Also does it give you an error code when it states that there is an issue loading content. For example error code- UI-800-3.

I am thinking of adding Netflix to me system.

I have a TataSky HD with recording. How does on go about it. Also, I am told that about 1.2GB is what is required per month. How does one go about it. I currently have a Vodafone 4G connection. It has been suggested that one good way is to get a Jio connection.

1.2Gb for what? If you want to stream Netflix, broadband will be a better option, Jio can also serve the purpose but you will exhaust your daily limits very fast. Here's the link to data usage on Netflix

@Turbanator; I do have broadband (Den) but from the cost point of view, Jio was looking attractive. Thanks for the link. Tells me a lot. Jacking up my Jio to say 20GB a month may be far more expensive. Remember I am in an area where I have a choice of one broadband (though on a Fibre), forgetting the Bhai Saheb Nahin Lagega folk.

After being a very vocal critic of Netflix India, I have to sheepishly admit that their catalogue has greatly improved from the early days. Subscribed due to 'Sacred Games' and was pleasantly surprised to see some good movies. Quickly added about 20 to my watchlist.

Hello Netflix fans -

Can you please list your top 5:

A) Ghost movies. e.g. The Conjuring
B) Action & adventure movies e.g. Kill Bill
C) Taut and tense drama movies e.g. The Post
D) Murder Mysteries e.g. The Bone Collector, Seven

Thanks.

PS : They have to be on Netflix of course.

Isn't NetFlix an overtly expensive service in India.

I mean why would i pay 600 odd per month to Netflix when i can get a similar content on Amazon Prime for 999 per year and that too with Amazon's prime member benefits.

I find Netflix expensive as well - so I agree with you on that one. But, if you have multiple bank accounts (and debit cards), and credit cards, you can squeeze out 5-6 months FREE. That's what I am doing currently. lol:

Btw, Netflix is currently working on lower priced subscriptions for India.
