Exactly... . Another reason why I refuse to give up my current netflix plan and sign up under Malaysia.. On a cheaper plan, even if I had to pay the full $10 per month (or RM42) but for farrrrrrr less content.

Astro....?? Ain't nobody got time for that.. Still have a fully discounted Hypptv Mega Pack.. Local TV channels taken care of ..

Yeah, sticking to the current plan.. I've actually not really taken advantage of iflix, especially since they offered Unifi subscribers free access for a year. It's been awhile and I've still not had enough free time to watch "Black Sails" on iflix. As per the rest... No comment..

I will say, I developed a new found liking for Korean action movies on Netflix.. Also, Kublai Khan & Hundred Eyes...

Ah, Marco Polo.. IMO.. Is a well researched series and even @1080p on a full HD TV, I was blown away by the gorgeous sets and costumes. At 4K res??

Yeah, Hundred eyes is best enjoyed after watching the complete season 1.

This^^. Also, "I Saw The Devil".

It's unwise to use "special" DNS servers as a permanent configuration directly on your main router.. Primarily cuz, it's a security risk (url hijacks & redirection) and the server could end up being overloaded by unnecessary requests, while its being used for normal browsing..

Same here, haven't really used it since beta days on the PC.. So I just tried it on a Nexus 10 tablet and after about 5 minutes for stream to stabilize, it's watchable but on the 2560 x 1600 pixels screen, it's quite obvious it's not HD. Also, according to the tv series info, Malay & English subtitles are available but on the android app, I got nothing & no options during playback or otherwise to enable them. Subs work on the PC though. A quick run to their website's FAQ section... Under the question "Can I stream iflix in HD?" Their answer; "Patience you must have, Yoda. Our team is working hard to make this happen for you. Stay tuned!". So, this confirms my earlier suspicions that streaming quality is below 720p. Granted, it's still watchable. Finally, tried using the download now, watch offline feature & got error messages instead. Streaming was near instantaneous, so I'll give them that.

Yup.. Keyword.... Also, are you on Netflix's HD plan? Cuz there is an SD plan... Netflix recommended speeds. Netflix prides itself on best results, hence higher minimum requirements. However, if you are able to optimize your network better.. There have been reports of better netflix performance..

Having seen "War of Arrows", I concur.. Thanks for the other recommendations.. Quoting as reference later.. on my list.

Understood.. While that sucks, I see why it would appear that way. Netflix and rightly so, believes that SD streaming are for mobile devices only and by that, probably 4" - 7" screens max. Even those have to be like 720p screens.. Retina ipads or 2k screens... Nah. So they don't expect subscribers to blow it up on a bigger screen like laptops, monitors or TVs. So when subscribers eventually do such, they raise their arms in helplessness & hide behind their streaming speed requirements.. After all, T & C applies. As for iflix, they best get their house in order, which is even more crucial, now that the bigger fish has swum into their waters.

Yeah, popped up as a recommendation.. Usually, Netflix provides multiple audio & subtitle languages. I do prefer native audio with accurate English subs. Looking forward to the movie & hope it doesn't flop.

Yes.. Simply login as normal.. It'll work. That's kinda the main point of this thread...

Is your Android box a certified Netflix device? Also, what do you mean by UHD contents are skipped? Is it that 4K flicks like Daredevil, etc don't show up when searched on your Android box but show up on the Smart TV app? Contents are available or missing depending on regions.. Not due to resolution,and so, non-4K devices have access to the exact same library as a 4K device, provided both are running from the same region.. Example, Malaysia.

It's mostly about international laws, censorship compliance, content licensing & all that bla bla... Cars, TVs, mobile phones, Internet, etc.. Are all cheaper in the states than here & while it's unfair, well....... Netflix did promise to increase content and I believe they will as soon as things are sorted out. However, do not expect to pay any lesser than the USA folks, cuz it might be costing Netflix more money to deliver content to Malaysia than the USA. $10 ≠ RM10.

Oh I see.. Yeah, I'm yet to have seen or heard of Netflix 4K on a regular PC. Capable graphics card or not. Guess Netflix has to work on that one by improving their current Windows app or perhaps allowing browsers to handle it. I'm really rooting for iflix to be more successful, especially at the current price point which is slightly above FREE! Perhaps a couple of years down? Alternatively, could be a biz strategy & Netflix buys them. Won't be the first time a big fish swum into the pond & ate the smaller fish.

Ah, the Neo X8-H Plus, while a capable device is definitely not Netflix certified.. The guys at Minix have tried to get certified, but Netflix is yet to respond favorably.. So for now, it's much more better to use the Netflix app on your TV, especially since it natively supports 4K. Compared to navigating an Android box's UI, the lady of the house simply loves pressing just 2 buttons (startup & profile selection) on the TV remote & she's scrolling happily away..

According to most reports & Netflix, it's uncensored.. Yet

Router QOS? As usual, Ethernet connection preferred over wireless.. The Nvidia Shield TV is undoubtedly capable of delivering Netflix 4K content without breaking a sweat.. Pushing 1080p would be a piece of cake...

Plan on seeing it sometime this weekend.. Though, I've read that the dialogue is in English rather than Mandarin.. Will see how that goes...

Yeah... I prefer watching a movie in its original audio with English subtitles (preferably HI subs).. It just seems weird..?.. that such a movie was made with English audio as its original, especially since it's a sequel. Guess they had their reasons. It's all good..

Seen the movie and will avoid rating it.. No spoilers . Had some really beautiful scenery, especially at the beginning... For the first few minutes, I had to read lips & sync it with the audio, to consciously tell my brain that it's all in English . After then, settled down to enjoy it.

IMO, it's 3.5/5.

Yes, but no need for VPN settings at router level as there are ways to setup on just the TV.. Read the thread..

Frank Underwood's voice... Yes!

Appears so.. According to TM, it's being rectified..

Tested tonight and couldn't even get past 480p for 1080p connection.. Threw me arms up in the air... .
