Ah... RP eh... Was wondering why you'd rather use GC as opposed to the easier card/PP method.. I see..

Long time back, before they officially launched in Malaysia, etc.. Used GC for awhile and could check balance online. Unsure how it's done now. Drop by and chat with the Netflix CS.. I'm sure they can check for you.

This has existed for quite awhile, even in the USA, when it was US only subs. If Netflix can't as yet solve it.. Don't know what much others can do..At least, not without affecting the ease of us favored by Netflix and users. Most should be able to know when someone else has used our accounts on an unrecognized device. Similarly, those who buy such accts off socmed, tend to know exactly what they are buying and how it was sourced.

Don't mind em... People already show they are willing to pay.. Just need to price it accordingly.. Of course, I don't expect say Asterruk to be cheap until RM12 per month. Higher IMO, also can..If only it was that easy though.. Sigh.

I too just finished the season 3 of La Casa De Papel, while I'm very disappointed at how we were left hanging, can't wait for the fourth season too.. As for Flash and Arrow, they are "somewhat okay" BUT nowhere near the awesomeness of the first 2 on the list. So if you are someone who has to finish a series once started? You might want to not watch those or at least, delay watching unless super bored and nothing better. I'd recommend..
1.. Stranger Things (Murica)
2.. The Protector (Turkish)
3.. Designated Survivor (Murica)
4.. Orange is the New Black (OITNB, Murica)
5.. Also please tell me that you've seen "House of Cards"? If you haven't, start with that. Anyways all on this list are definitely the addicting type and a much better watch than The Flash and or Arrow.. Enjoy..

What can I say...


I always prefer watching content in its original audio and reading the English subs as they come by. Luckily, it poses no issues (as yet) for me with foreign films. Oh yeah, don't be fooled by Stranger Things' cover image. The series while majorly stars kids, is not a kid show. Plenty deep meaning. There are others I can recommend, but you've got your plate full now..

Oh my.. You keep tempting me.. And you've watched that far in about a month..

I would dedicate at least twice that internet bandwidth. The rest, is as AVFAN says. But then since you asking, guess it's safe to assume that you already have the necessary hardware.

I see. Unfortunately, it'll still remain on the back burner for me as I've still got a ton of catching up to do..

I believe I've mentioned this earlier.. That reading upon pressing info isn't internet speed.. It's the current bitrate info of the content being streamed. You have more than enough internet speed to support UHD streaming, particularly if using an ethernet cable connected to the main router. Unless really poor or bizarre circumstances, as experienced by a Netflix user....you are fine. Don't sweat it.

Yup.. It takes awhile for the series to grip you.. But if it's a genre you fancy? It'll definitely be worth it. I haven't begun the last season yet.. Finishing other stuffs first.. But yeah, you are on the right track. Also Narcos from AVFAN is a solid 5/5 in my books... Another similar series that scores a solid 5 would be "Queen of the South".. Both should leave you cheering for the "bad side"..

Netflix has a huge library and thus hard to say for certain...You'll just have to keep watching to find out.. Being a USA company, I'd reckon all would have English subs.

Dammit.. So much for seeing my guy fight... But if Iron Fist is so much better? Means I skip...

Not seen S1 yet..

I agree.. I'll probably end up watching it just for Iko..

I recommend watching em anyway.. IIRC, didn't seem like flops to me.

1. Can't really say how accurate that website is as Netflix adds and removes titles periodically. It's easier for me to simply whip out my phone to check if a title is available. Also, content varies from region to region. There are many titles in the USA library that aren't available in the UK library...and between those and here in Malaysia (maybe vice versa? I doubt it though).

2. Netflix recommends at least 5Mbps for HD video streaming. 1080p is FHD though, but a stable undisturbed 8Mbps should be sufficient too.

IMO, Netflix will remain King for a primary reason: Original content. I doubt there’d be a pay extra to watch Disney+ on Netflix, at least not while a separate similarly priced Disney+ sub is still available..cuz that’ll will simply encourage Disney+ service’s death. So they might as well just commit suicide and return back to the model where they allow Netflix full rights to their owned content. I’ve been a Netflix sub for almost a decade and to me it just works. My major complaint is that the entire library can’t be accessed without resorting to geo-spoofing techniques. IFlix is reasonably alright. I support mainly to see if they can break the barrier and be more successful. Anything unavailable on both services can be gotten elsewhere quite easily. So I strongly doubt I’ll be splurging on anymore services just fo access to extra few titles.. nope..

Firstly, ensure that your subbed plan is indeed the HD or UHD plan AND that the hardware you are using IS Netflix certified... Then using a browser, login and go adjust your Netflix playback settings.
*Sign in to Netflix.com.
*Select your profile.
*Select Account.
*Under My Profile, select Playback Settings.
*Under Data Usage, select High..
*Select Save.
*Try Netflix again.

Notes:
*Please note that playback settings are profile-specific. If you wish to improve video quality on multiple profiles, repeat the steps above for each profile.
*Data usage settings cannot be adjusted from a Kids profile.
*Adjusting this setting may increase data usage on your device.

Yes, you can check what resolution is currently being streamed and or if your hardware is capable of FHD+. On some Samsung TVs, pressing the info button shows you real-time video resolution and bitrate. Alternatively, search for the title “Test Patterns”. Lastly, make sure you have at least 10Mbps clear bandwidth. Netflix says 5Mbps is enough. But I’d go with 10Mbps minimum instead.

First you need to separate streaming speed from media bitrate... Netflix says needs minimum 25Mbps Internet speeds to achieve 4k streaming. It's not the same as the media bitrate. Which in Netflix's case, is definitely not true 4K/UHD bitrate. This is expected as not everyone can comfortably stream true 4K off their servers, and if they have to? It'll cause considerable strain on their network. Which might lead to higher sub fees, which we don't want. For now, their 4K HDR isn't half bad.. But if you want more clarity? You'll have to go Bluray.

Have you confirmed that your TV can install third-party VPN apps and said apps work correctly? You need to confirm that first, most TVs can't. In the past, all it took was an IP addy-linked DNS addy change on the TV (which most TVs can do).. But Netflix caught on fast.. So yeah, the answer to your question is Yes and No. Yes, if your TV is capable and No if it isn't.. When all else fails? Get a sub and configure your router (hopefully yours is configurable & compatible with the service your subbed). Remember though that this will apply to any other device connected to the same router.

I agree, although I’m surprised that you al got around to watching it now.. IMO, most people who began watching Prison Break back then, almost immediately got hooked on it. In my case, it was agony having to wait till the next season drops AND it finds it’s way onto DVD, pirated DVDs and sold in my area.. .. Back then, whole house with friends too would gather every evening to resume wherever we stopped the night before.. Haha.. I think I’ll give it another go again, from S1 till end..

I’m enjoying Osaka as well, yes it’s a tad slow but I don’t feel it’s draggy at all. I’d say it’s well-paced even. Meanwhile, from most of the past cartel series we’ve watched.. There’s only one way for people that deep to escape the Mexican cartel. I mean, see what happened to the ultra loyal lawyer.. BUT, I’m rooting for the family..

Ah... AFAIK? I really can’t give you a specific model that will fit that criteria. Best best would be as you suggested...Android TV OS powered TVs. Personally, I don’t like em. As for the Netflix+VPN thingy? I know much older models can’t. But then newer models have beefier hardware, processing power and much more capable software. So hey, who knows if there’s a model or more that can. But here’s the thing.. Instead of trying to find one and spending thousands of RM just to achieve that and for dunno how long or worse it doesn’t work..? You are better off, just getting a cheaper compatible router, Netflix friendly VPN sub and configuring that to be used with any Netflix certified/capable device. Doing this ensures you aren’t stuck with viewing Netflix content from other regions on a single TV model or VPN service, as you can change em at will.

Netflix Originals!! Just wait, you’ll get hooked soon enough..

Well, as for most movies on it being dated. That is too be expected cuz it’s a VOD service, the best out there IMO. Due to the nature of VOD and licensing or copyright laws. Can’t have all blockbusters simultaneously released in the cinemas and on Netflix as well, now can we. Cinemas, DVD, & Blu-ray copies still need to be sold for profit. Typically, only after a movie is mostly done playing in cinemas worldwide, does Netflix seek or gain streaming rights. All part of keeping costs low mah for us end users. Imagine if all movies were allowed to show on Netflix and cinemas same date? I reckon many would rather watch in the security & relaxedness of their homes than go to the cinemas. Of course, there are movies that were launched and immediately released on Netflix as well.. But these are few. Anyways, I’m glad the “dated” content is there. Cuz it allows ppl like me to catch up on blockbusters we missed from years past. No hunting around, just one quick search & tap to play button away.

Haha.. Asterruk quality vs Netflix isn't even a contest. And this with us knowing that Netflix at it's best still isn't true 4K quality.. But you really need to check out Netflix Originals.. Some of their movies and TV series are superb.

Stands for Netflix Originals...These are original titles distributed by Netflix. Some are produced exclusively by them, others through collaborations with other production individuals/companies. Often, these "ori" titles can only be found on the Netflix service. Plenty good stuff to watch.

IKR... I went in expecting the worst.. But my oh my.. Who knew that "Thor" could really kick a**.. I hope they make a sequel as good as this or even better. I know Thor is supposed be this honorable fighter. But hey, imagine how much more efficient he can be if he's allowed to fight baddies like that... Icing on the cake...Proton cars on display..

Haha... So Netflix still rules..

This requires a VPN to use. So a bit susah.. Plus high seas got and Netflix is King.. What would you like to know about em though? I know someone who has an account with em I can ask.
