Netflix, my experience...amazing service!!! can be accessed from INDIA as well..:)

Re: Netflix, my experience...amazing service!!! can be accessed from INDIA as well..:

Interesting : I was able to watch two diff shows with same ID on two PCs at the same time. I thought you could use one ID on one device at a time only? Update: I just figured that they allow 2 devices with the standard plan.

Also - has anyone tried to share the unblock-us DNS.

^^ Sharing DNS technically cannot work, its impossible ..... (Coz most of us have the Dynamic IP.)

I took a 8dollar trial plan for a month, couldnt wait for the disruption :)

I am unable to use unblockus at the router level due to a message saying its not in the same subnet. So using Hola for chrome.

The only issue with netflix is that for pc/mac the serials like breaking bad are not in hd. They are in hd for only streaming devices.
 
Re: Netflix, my experience...amazing service!!! can be accessed from INDIA as well..:

yes technobhatt, that true, I apologies, actually only two people are allowed on a free 8 USD plan/account so I had to deactivate, else I was not able to play, (and Dusite was not able to activate the device) and since Dushie chipped in first I had to give him the preference .....hope you and sud dont mind.

If you want to continue, let me know and we can purchase the account, infact we dont have to purchase the account immediately, as it still will run free till 15 July, but i have to change it to 12 USD streaming plan and for that I need confirmation that we all would purchase the same on 15th JULY.



^^ Yes even with me it sometimes switches between 480p and 720p but most of the time its on 720p and the best part is even when it comes to 480p its just a minor degrade from 720p, which is very acceptable ...... this is on a 47" TV I am talking about via WD TV Live 2013.

@Dushie, I would like you to try and activate the device so that we can confirm that the problem was with number of connections and not something else.

My WD TV should be back today in all probability, so today evening we can sit and troubleshoot and try to activate your device if for any reason you still cannot activate it ....

Sam it still does not give an option to activate the device, last time when i checked post posting it is still giving me 2 options first one is for free trial and second one is for member login. It's not giving any option to activate the device even after reset.

BTW, got it working on ipad too. Just needed an itunes US account (no credit card needed). Download the netflix app (only comes if ip and itunes are US based) and then voila.

Yes even I could not choose any profile as such. If I put in to my credentials on WD TV, it takes me to my default profile, "sammy". I will research on this more, mean time looks like we got to use it the way it is. Worst case is I will see your viewing progress on my WD TV and vice verse. Personally I am ok with this as long as the streaming is perfect, which it is for now. Hope you are ok as well. Let me know ...

Re: Netflix, my experience...amazing service!!! can be accessed from INDIA as well..:

Just one more update...
I told one of my friend about this thread and using Netflix in India.
After seeing it on my computer and TV; In excitement, he also signed up for Netflix and unblock-us trial.
However he told me that he is not getting the profile creation option at all.
We did some troubleshooting at his home, but there was really no option of creating multiple user profiles under his Netflix account.
Then last night, I also started a separate Netflix trial account and found that there is no option of creating additional user profiles.
Then I called Netflix helpline in US and told about the problem.
Netflix support executive told me that multiple profile option is in testing phase and it doesn't apply to all the customers who sign up for Netflix. It is provided randomly to selected customers. However she didn't tell me when the option is gonna be available for all, as my billing cycle detail does mention about creating 2 user profiles. She told that they have no such information so far.
Has anybody else also experienced this, signing up for Netflix account and having no option of creating multiple user profiles?

^^ Wow , so I should consider myself lucky or what .. :D .... I was able to create all four profiles .... :-) .....

Yes, you're really lucky!! You have successfully spread a virus. Another friend of mine activated the Netflix trial today.
Well, I'll be happy to chip in as partner with you, in case Dushie or Sud are out; as it's gonna be cheaper for me :)

One more update:-
Today, I tried to activate Netflix on my 2 friends' Nokia Lumia 720 and Google Nexus 4 respectively and both experiments were successful :ohyeah:

Nokia Lumia 720: When I first try to locate Netflix app in phone, it wasn't available in the windows store and even search results were not displaying any results.
Then I changed the default 'Country Name' under settings from India to United States and reboot the phone. And after connecting the phone through Wifi network (on which US VPN is enabled), I could see that lot of new options and apps were unlocked in the phone. Then I tried to search 'Netflix' app in windows store and it was successfully installed.
Then I just activated the app in browser by proving the code shown in phone. However, one need to enter user-id password each time to login to netflix app in Lumia.

Google Nexus 4: It was little tricky process. Google Nexus phone deliberately asks for entering one's Google Account details so that phone can be later used for app download and installation using Google Play Store.
Initially, my friend logged into it using his gmail id. Then we went to Google Play and try to search Netflix app. It locates the app, but throws an error saying 'this app is not available in your country' and thus we're not able to install it.
Later I realized that it was due to fact that Google always traces the location details through Google account; hence, despite VPN setup on Wifi network, we couldn't install Netflix. Because my friend's gmail account was set up as India as its country name. (and also we need to take care of not choosing the location tracing option during initial setup in Nexus). Then I changed the country in Google account from India to United States and did a factory reset of phone.
After doing all this, again logged in and Bingo!! Now we found the Netflix app and installed and got it working. Here we don't need to activate the device; instead it just simply works by logging in using Netflix user-id password.
 
Re: Netflix, my experience...amazing service!!! can be accessed from INDIA as well..:

I have been using it on my HTPC and am keen to continue. The only issue- I havent been able to get surround sound or even use PLII on it. Since i am running on HTPC, I run it via browser and whatever I read, silverlight doesnt support surround sound. I tired bitstreaming so that I can at leas use PLII on my AVR but it seems on Win 7 its little complicated to do that . Has anyone done it ? I am even ready to switch OS if it works on any. I tried Ubuntu but couldn't get it to work.

Any Suggestions?

Re: Netflix, my experience...amazing service!!! can be accessed from INDIA as well..:

Using the same for a long time for Pandora, but you need to add your IP and check if it is whitelisted, if it is blacklisted then you can not use the same. Also you would need to add this to ur box directly as they monitor what traffic is going on DNS, Also i found the speed to be a bit slow when compared to other providers. Last but not the least, you would need to renew this on a monthly basis.

On Netflix the quality is low when using the above you can watch only in SD resolution that also on the lower side . So it's nothing great to write about for Netflix.

@Dushie - I got pretty decent quality with this DNS, watched almost one full season of "How I met ..". Have configured directly on the WD TV device. Will update how it performs over time.

But thanks for mentioning Pandora :) I am enjoying it all evening today.
 
Re: Netflix, my experience...amazing service!!! can be accessed from INDIA as well..:

Free unblock us - Home | tunlr.net

And it works. Apologies if this is already mentioned in the thread.

I have tried this, in tunlr.net it got activated [ I am trying from PS3, I have set dns entries as mentioned in tunlr.net site], but netflix is not getting connected. error code in netflix is nw-2-5.

I searched for netflix for [code:nw-2-5] it says dns issues. I used dns as mentioned in tunlr.net.

have anyone faced the same issue?

PS: PSN account is US account only.
