Yeah, but I won't go as far as call it shameful smile.gif ... Cuz being in the tech industry, I fully understand how much difficulty is involved in setting up such a service. Unfortunately for them, Netflix, with room to grow has set a high benchmark; one they must either match or beat before true progress is measured. iflix still has a very good chance in the Asian market, as there are hundreds of thousands of media boxes running some form of Android or OS, they could tap into. Especially, since Netflix refuses to really acknowledge such devices.

P.S. To iflix... Reading this and require more insight? I'm open to communication via PM... icon_idea.gif


Edit: Seems TM's connection's shaping up.. Since Friday, been able to stream Netflix @ a healthy 1080p, about 90% of the time. biggrin.gif .. Other times, it juggled between 480p to 720p with the occasional 240p.. An improvement from downright refusing to play or streaming at 240p - 480p.. "Shudders"...

Netflix remains king of the streaming video but we personally prefer Hulu for the king of the latest TV show / TV series smile.gif

Does Hulu offer uhd, hd or sd?

No local access, must buy VPN or smart DNS, is it?

Easier to get USA contents than Netflix?

I was a Hulu subscriber back when it was still known as Hulu Plus and before they introduced the "No commercial plans"... Took them awhile though to implement such, as I and possibly many others found it absurd to be paying a monthly subscription, while still being served ads. A lot of ads, like you'd be forced at intervals to watch 3 or 4 commercials back to back with no option of skipping..

As for Hulu being the "King" of the latest TV shows & series? I beg to differ; however, out of respect, will play dumb tongue.gif.

You can subscribe to Hulu "without ad" from us for only RM 160, but it is out of stock since Hulu is hot, even hotter than our current climate in Malaysia nowadays lol.

No worry, everyone has different views but we respect everybody, including ourselves smile.gif

p/s: CBS All Access has a huge potential in this TV Shows segment category too. We like watching Supergirls and Limitless on CBS. Woot woot!

Receive the Fire TV Stick after two week from ordering from US. Should have order from Lelong and get it from Klang immediately instead.

Caveat: Don't buy this unless you know how to use Smart DNS. I use 7 days Unlocator trial.

Unpacked this little box and plug it in my TV and power it up. Set up my Amazon account and connect my router to Unlocator DNS. Try to install Netflix. "Not available". Shit..

So found out that my Amazon account has already had Malaysia address. Have to create a dummy account to use US address. So use a fake US address (while on Unlocator) and key in my credit card number (Malaysia one). Google some zipcode, key in some dummy US phone number and viola, now can install Netflix.

If you sideload any APK, it won't show up in the home screen. You can only run it via App Setup page.

Netflix HD with 5.1 was smooth. Much better than plain Android version as the seek function will jump to HD screen fairly quickly. Too mad my Unlocator trial expired so I don't have a chance to test out US content.

Will definitely keep my Netflix account until I finished Daredevil. Epic to watch Daredevil vs Punisher vs Elektra. Who's next?

That's just Amazon not playing nice with Netflix.. Amazon has their own video streaming service and would obviously prefer all users of the Fire TV to only stick with that. They made it difficult.. Since Netflix expanded into Malaysia, etc, they allowed the countries access to their app download using one's normal IP & DNS address. So DNS services are not required except for known reasons.

The Netflix on Fire TV is not from Google Play. It is Amazon's native version which is certified for HD and 5.1 contents. Amazon is just not selling the Fire TV outside US so you don't get to access any content restricted items. Even apps.
