All those complaining about content, it's not as simple as you think. For one, Netflix being official here is already a good start.
Publishers, studios, sub-productions all need to have a new license deal for their shows/movies to be presented here. You think these deals take 5 minutes to sign? You think there aren't hoops to jump through with our oh-so-amazing government? Give it time. UK netflix didn't became as good as US Netflix overnight either. Lucky enough that nothing is censored first and foremost. This post has been edited by SSJBen: Jan 7 2016, 12:37 PM |

It's quite common for foreign online transactions to be declined for some credit cards. You will then have to call your bank to have them allow the transaction for that merchant, and you have to try again.

I've a strange situation though for the clock content. eg: I can play Penguins the Madagascar: The Movie using my laptop chrome browser and android app. However when I cast this movie to chromecast using my android phone, it says content not available in malaysia.

QUOTE(pcomet @ Jan 8 2016, 02:25 PM) Yesterday nite tried with 11mbps , but streaming quality like watching SD .... but its say its HD.... Been streaming 4K (UHD) contents from US Netflix for a few months now. Currently 25mbps (on average) is sufficient for UHD. However, even with 25mbps, it takes a bit of time to buffer, e.g. watching UHD shows, you will notice quality when show starts is like SD, a minute later like HD, 2-3 minutes later only UHD... after that its UHD quality all the way until you switch shows (provided you own a UHD TV) |

From our experience, the best content is Netflix Canada.
Change our VPN region to Canada, login Netflix, and vava-voom! Example of content:- Hannibal Suits Transformers Revenge of the Fallen The Matrix Reloaded |

i tried to get 4k stream failed. my 4k android and 4K uhdtv not listed in the support lists. impt read: QUOTE Can I stream Netflix in Ultra HD? https://help.netflix.com/en/node/13444]https://help.netflix.com/en/node/13444 .. no 4k content label displayed on local netflix. .. if direct on tv, not all models of major brands support it. .. if using other devices, only a few support it now, more may come later. .. content seriously lacking, only 40 tv shows.  .. almost zero asian content but... very easy to navigate, fast, smooth, good subs. i tried just to learn something. as it is, i will not continue. will reconsider when there are significant changes. one thing this local netflix shows - if gomens can control less and corps make less profits, streaming hd/uhd videos is a piece of cake!

Here's the thing, on my Samsung Smart TV, while watching any video and at any point, pressing the info button on the TV remote brings up a small info window at the top left showing the time spent over time left and the current resolution being streamed.

Other than viewing Netflix test video that shows the resolution/bitrate https://www.reddit.com/r/NetflixBestOf/comm...st_your_netflix Edit: Sufficient bandwidth being minimum 10Mbps for full HD & 30Mbps for UHD. Yeah, I'm aware that Netflix's recommendations are 5Mbps & 25Mbps respectively, but since when does minimum = okay..

this local netflix is easy, smooth and reliable.
works on androids (all, i think), pc windows, ipad and probably all other popular devices/machines. u can watch a show on tv in living room, move to pc in yr office and then finish up on ipad in the toilet continuously! well very done for that. big problem is very limited content. |

IMO not worth the monthly subscription fee with those very very limited contents compared to original US content
I think not even 10% of it is available  in term of price per content, iflix won the race by miles |

QUOTE Berita Harian also reported that Malaysian Muslim Consumers Association (PPIM) chief activist Datuk Nadzim Johan has made calls for the government to proactively filter Netflix content.

Haha, just wait as its about to get much smaller... i watched NARCOS, a 10-episode tv season on netflix - smooth 100%, not a single hitch. iflix... trouble is it only works on hand held devices and some boxes, does not work on many boxes. not sure if they designed it that way or still figuring out how to allow more boxes work! ..

QUOTE Netflix to Block Tools That Flout Local Copyright Restrictions January 15, 2016 — 9:31 AM MYT Move comes after Netflix expanded to 130 new countries Netflix Inc. will step up its efforts to block subscribers from watching TV shows and movies not available on the streaming service in their home country, a nod to copyright holders who have long expressed frustration that customers were illegally viewing their intellectual property. Netflix will stop people from using virtual private network proxies to access the service as if they were in another country, the company said in a blog post. Customers have used VPNs to access Netflix in countries where the streaming service wasn’t available. Netflix introduced its service to more than 130 new countries last week, extending its reach everywhere but China and three territories where U.S. law forbids the company from operating. Netflix can offer customers a localized version of the service in all 190 countries, though the variety of programming available can vary depending on its licensing rights in each location. Netflix's Plan for Global Domination “In coming weeks, those using proxies and unblockers will only be able to access the service in the country where they currently are,” David Fullagar, vice president of content delivery architecture, said in the post. “We are confident this change won’t impact members not using proxies.” http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/201...ht-restrictions |

Doesn't matter to me, I am going to cancel when trial ends anyway. The movies available at Netflix are outdated and besides I already have most of them anyway in full HD and 5.1 sound.
Currently Netflix with my wireless hotspot 3Mbps , I can only get SD streaming and only stereo sound because I am using Browser to watch. Even KODI , with some movies, I can at least get 5.1 sound on my Optical cable to my AVR. |

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Jan 15 2016, 12:42 PM) new... Nah.. It's nothing new.. It's a cat and mouse game and the mouse ALWAYS wins (TPB/PT/KickAss T vs "Big Media"). .. There are much more private ways to access such content and with the way most VPNs (proper ones) are setup, it's impossible to completely block access as the internet doesn't work that way. There are legitimate users in say the USA who work behind encrypted connections, be it for work or so as to maximize the full bandwidth they pay their ISPs (remember last year's Netflix drama with Comcast etc). It's like the great firewall of China, things still get through for those who know . Just that, such info are rarely shared on public forums like this to avoid the loophole being shut. So they can go ahead & in so doing lose paying subscribers who'll just turn to less than legal means of obtaining the content. |

Out of curiosity I decided to try out Netflix's Dolby 5.1 sound on my PC.
Since Netflix has a dedicated application for Win 8 (without the need for using browser), I booted to my Windows 8 (My PC is Dual Boot Win7 + 8), downloaded and installed the App, and set my Windows Default sound to SPDIF output (connected to my AVR). Then started the Netflix app, and tested one of the movies with DD 5.1 and compared it with the same title (in MKV) with DD5.1 on my Media player. (Both showed Dolby Digital 5.1 on AVR as expected) However I noticed the Netflix 5.1 sound was inferior quality. The surround is much softer and less clear. My guess is that Netflix re-encoded the Dolby sound to lesser quality to save bandwidth. This post has been edited by Ngto: Jan 16 2016, 09:20 PM |

The highest quality Netflix can provide is no direct match against a Blu-ray disc or properly encoded rip. However, the end product also relies on the post-processing done by display screens (Monitor, TVs, etc), media players and sound systems.Since Netflix has a dedicated application for Win 8 (without the need for using browser), I booted to my Windows 8 (My PC is Dual Boot Win7 + 8), downloaded and installed the App, and set my Windows Default sound to SPDIF output (connected to my AVR).

Has anyone tried Netflix with Apple TV 3?
When the Audio is set to Dolby Digital (DD), there is no sound output. The sound output is fine when the Audio is set to Auto (Stereo). |

Just as I was wondering what devices are available to stream Netflix at high quality (I own a Himedia Q16). I found that PS3 is one of the best device to stream Netflix. I actually have a PS3 collecting dust in my living room. Time restore it to its glory days again!

Its been discussed earlier, only Netflix certified devices like your PS3 will be able to stream full HD or UHD (depending on device). The rest including tons of android boxes/TVs/Players out there will only be able to get 480p res max. |

Ok, i tested netflix on my ps3 and it was awesome, managed to get 1080p for most shows. Earlier there were complaints that the content is lacking, but when i signed on yesterday, the content was quite plentiful. In fact the content should last me a year of viewing. Jessica Jones, Orange is the new black, Narcos, Daredevil etc.......

After a few days stink with trials & errors, have finally managed to get Netflix to output Dolby Digital 5.1 from Apple TV 3rd Gen to my Denon AVR.The sound is superb.  Connections: - Apple TV -- HDMI --> Denon AVR - Denon AVR -- HDMI --> FHD TV Apple TV Settings: - Dolby Digital -> ON - Sound Check -> ON - Sound Effect -> ON - Sound Mode -> Auto Denon AVR Settings: - Source -> HDMI - Sound Mode -> Direct (Do not set to any existing DTS or Dolby sound mode, as the AVR will be able to automatically detect the input signal from Apple TV and then switch to Dolby Digital by itself) |

So i guess it depends on individual whether the current content will keep you happy for at least a few months before more titles are added. I read that in US there are more than 6,000 titles, not sure if we even have more than a few hundred. |

"SINGAPORE: Despite launching with relatively smaller library in the Singapore market, Netflix has promised that more content will be added to its service gradually.
Results on search engine Filmefy shows that Netflix offers approximately 650 TV and movie titles in Singapore, just a fraction of the 5,654 titles available in the United States. In Malaysia, 695 titles are listed, and in Hong Kong there are 540 titles on offer to be streamed. Responding to queries from Channel NewsAsia, a Netflix spokesperson said on Wednesday (Jan 13) that the gradual ramping up of offerings is to allow the company to “better understand what its members want to watch in each region”. “In most markets, the size of the catalogue doubles in the first year,” the spokesperson added. For 2016, Netflix said it plans to release 31 new and returning original series, two dozen original feature films and documentaries, a wide range of stand-up comedy specials and 30 original kids series - available at the same time to its members everywhere." Extracted from Singapore news. We have 695 titles here. Apparently you can e-mail customer service to request for titles, they may add it gradually. |

SG also has a fibre broadband "No Contract 1Gbps at $59.99/mth (under RM200)".. This is bolehland and Netflix has barely settled and already the talks of censorship has begun. IMO, I'll believe it when I see it. Just hooked it up yesterday, able to watch 4k Netflix with Maxis 10Mbps, but how do you know which show is able to allow 5.1 ? |

Just hooked it up yesterday, able to watch 4k Netflix with Maxis 10Mbps, but how do you know which show is able to allow 5.1 ? The DD 5.1 option is available for most Netflix shows or movies. Personally, I've seen or checked over a hundred movies & TV episodes & they all have the DD 5.1 option (works). For testing, you can use any of the Netflix originals like Marco Polo, Beasts of no nation, etc, as they'll definitely support surround sound. Firstly, is passthrough enabled within the TV settings? Also, some TVs have issues with passing through HD sound via optical out, so try using HDMI & the ARC feature. According to netflix, recommended Sharp TV models includes the UD27U, UE30U, UH30U & UC30U. Since you've reported getting full UHD picture on the 630x, then I guess it's supported, just not listed yet. QUOTE To adjust subtitles on most Blu-ray players, Smart TVs, and set-top boxes: Launch the Netflix app. Select the movie or TV show you want to play. Select Audio & Subtitles from the options panel. Select your preferred audio or subtitle options. Press Back to return to the options panel. Select Play. Audio & Subtitles options are also accessible while a movie or TV show is playing: Play a movie or TV show. While the movie or TV show is playing, press the Down arrow. Select Audio & Subtitles. Select your preferred audio or subtitle options. Note: If you are unable to complete the steps above, subtitles are not supported on your device. |

Hmm, not supposed to. So begs the question, sure you are getting 4K and not up-scaled 1080p? Is there like an info button on the remote/TV you could press to check? Or just search and play the Netflix speed test video titled "Example Short 23.976". Give it a few minutes to average out and watch the top left corner for the streaming bit rate and resolution.This post has been edited by voncrane: Jan 22 2016, 01:43 PM |

If I'm understanding you right, you've noticed the 4K icon from Netflix's library itself correct? Netflix then streams to the quality your bandwith can handle which it auto-detects. Vonframe is pretty much right, you'll need to test independently with Netflix's demo loop or if your TV can give you some info on the current source. I personally don't think you're getting 4K on a 10Mbps connection, time to upgrade! |

Ok guys. The news that netflix is going to clamp down on unblocker is not just lip service. I use unblock-us to access US netflix and i could not access some shows, error message popped out " it seems that you are using an unblocker".....just like what some Australian have reported. I fear we may have to live with netflix Malaysia content moving forward...sigh..

They have started blocking alright. Expect to see error such as 'Youre using proxies yada yada...' soon.
But relax people, there are already walkarounds too. |

There’s even a way to test your Netflix performance in real time, thanks to a little-known 11-minute short on Netflix titled Example Short 23.976. Once launched, it will play back a series of unconnected clips—a gurgling fountain, a guy dressed in black moonwalking with a laptop, a time lapse of an evening sky, and a shot of the Netflix office in Los Gatos, among others. |

For ps3, if press the select button, it will show the reso of the movie playing i have tried netflix on both uhd tv and q16.on the q16 (or any uncertified device), the selection is not even labeled as "hd". which means it is sd (<720p). if the avr or tv has upscaling, it comes out not too bad, almost 720p. this video quality is probably the one for "std package" on whatever device or tv used. on a certified tv, every show is labeled "hd" or "ultra hd". the hd is 1080p, ultra is 4k. pretty sure about that. above is, of course, for "uhd package", rm51. safe to assume for "std package" (RM42), only hd will show up. checked a bit more for 4k contents... there are a no. of tv shows and a good no. of documentaries in 4k, incl netflix originals. |

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Jan 24 2016, 01:16 AM) unfortunately, local version has limited 4k stuff. Shops like speedy have to innovate or die.. Though there are still people who buy the occasional DVD/Blu-ray disc, mainly for keepsakes & to show support. It's the law of business.. See Nokia & Blockbuster.. Now, failed companies... Netflix started out renting DVDs & sending out by mail. Now they have about 75 million customers, with 44 million in just the USA. With their current expansion, the numbers should grow larger. Netflix USA & Canada has the good stuff, but even that is still limited. To me 4K media still has some ways to go. Good thing is that, it will improve & it's only a matter of time till it hits a decent adoption rate worldwide. Based on past actions, I don't think Netflix will increase the price much, except the RM drops even more, can't blame them there. Unless the cost of releasing their entire library to the Malaysian market is too much for them to bear, then it's only natural they adjust their prices. Even then, probably no more than say +RM10 - RM20.hope they improve fast enough, and w/o raising price! i am quite impressed with the stability of it with unifi30, wifi. even for 4k videos, there was not a single jerk on the several checked over a couple of hours. hd videos come out very good too - 1080p, upscaled by tv, very good. the netflix experience left me with one side thought: with such technology, how long can video shops like speedy last? |

Recommendations are just that, the minimum required as set by the provider, in this case, Netflix.. To them, that's the minimum they expect consumers to have in order to have a decent UHD experience & not have to blame Netflix later if a steady UHD stream isn't achieved. So having 30Mbps will be helpful. Besides, if we are talking about TM's Unifi plans, IMO, the Advance 30Mbps plan Is cheaper than the older VIP20 plan or incase downgrading incurs fees, perhaps consider the Advance 50Mbps plan... It's more than enough to simultaneously handle Netflix UHD + some throttled torrenting and or YouTube 1080p on other connected devices.I think file sizes don't matter as long as the bit rate is reasonable for streaming. QUOTE(hydelai @ Jan 25 2016, 07:58 AM) anyone know which sony android tv can stream 4k netflix contents? QUOTE Netflix is available in Ultra HD on select Sony TVs. To stream Ultra HD, you will need: A TV compatible with Ultra HD streaming from Netflix. See below for more details. A plan that supports streaming in Ultra HD. You can check which plan you're currently on at www.netflix.com/ChangePlan. A steady Internet connection speed of 25 megabits per second or higher. See below for more details. Make sure your streaming quality is set to "High." More information about video quality settings can be found in our Playback Settings article. The below list of Sony devices currently support Netflix in Ultra HD. Sony 4K Android TVs X8300 X8500B X8505B X9000B X9005B X800B X850B X900B X907B X950B X955B W800C W850C Source 1. Source 2.

IMO, Unless you are very close to your contract termination date & would rather be free, I say upgrade. I'm still on VIP10 myself but will be calling TM later to negotiate a favorable upgrade and I'm less than a year away from contract termination. My initial excuse for not upgrading last year was I needed the full 10Mbps upload speed vs 5Mbps being offered then. However, been reading around the forum & it appears that TM has increased the Advance 30 plan to 30Mbps down & 10Mbps up. I'm not quite sure if the increase is officially available for new & upgrading users or just for existing subscribers. Higher download speeds at more or less the same price as the older VIP10 plan. Sounds right.This post has been edited by voncrane: Jan 26 2016, 01:53 PM |

Is there like an info button you could press on the remote? Should show the current resolution while streaming if there's such a feature. Works on some Samsung TVs. With 10Mbps, I still believe that you are only getting 720p or 1080p & that's being upscaled by the TV. For now, just enjoy it & or upgrade speed. 100" screen not required.According to the distance calculator I need at least 100 inch or more to notice difference between 4k and 1080p above 10 feet. I don't have that much budget to buy a 100" tv though. |

Unify has a better package than Maxis, seems they even include free 60 channels with the latest package.Shouldn't have any additional charges for my upgrade so I guess should be ok to do so. |

As per jumping ship, that depends on if the need for higher speed > current RM cost. First test the streaming results with the current Maxis 20Mbps & if still unsatisfied, then jump ship.. No need to hurry into a 2 year contract.. |

I'm thinking about increasing broadband speed and probably downgrading my Astro. Jump back to Unifi or stay with Maxis... this is always a tough one.i almost switched to maxis at one stage but i could not risk being capped on download GB's or throttled at certain hours, which was what i read in the broadband threads - not sure if it is true today or not. the second factor was astro - do i need it? answer was quite clear to me, no need. on the other hand unifi's hypptv hd contents improved quite a lot. the third factor was i realized the router is impt - changing to a better router improved everything all round - stability, max speeds and wifi coverage. i have since upgraded (contract expired then) from vip10 to unifi30 at about same price, kept the same hypptv package and have all the speed i need for a total of 11 devices, incl uhd tv. when the time comes that i need 50mbps for more powerful androids or more 4k content, i will not hesitate. hope u come to a good solution. |

Been really enjoying the netflix content so far, although I am having problem with Netflix blocking VPN at the moment. I think the vpn providers are trying to resolve the issue atm. But if the local content are increased, there may not be a need for vpn..

For tech savvy people can try this private method, this is one of it, https://github.com/ab77/netflix-proxy/blob/master/README.md it's easier than previous setup thanks to docker pre configure everything for us. Just a few command line and you can access US content.

Anyone know any fast us dns vpn for streamyx?
I've tried unotelly, getflix, tvunblock and they all max out at around 3mbps on my 8mbps streamyx. Without dns no problem streaming 720p/1080p at >6-7mbps but less content on msian netflix. Tried the same dns setting on unifi and it can stream up to 9mbps easily for 1080p content. Obviously streamyx and unifi are two different service but it still bugs me out how I'm limited to only 3mbps downstream. Any other streamyx users care to share your experience? |

Content wise, it's nothing compared to what I can download and view offline. Will definitely give it a serious thought once my TV and bandwidth is ready for it. downloading is surely more economical. but i just thought i can afford rm1.40 a day. seriously, i sometimes get a little tired of downloading, copying to hdd, etc. there is small tnb cost too. 4k quality is excellent but content is limited, and will be so for a while. i resubscribed <less than 2 weeks after free trial. piece of cake - once u've been on the trial, they know everything about u. one click is all it takes to restart and yr card gets charged within the next hr. partly out of curiosity, i first took the basic pack rm33. yes, it is only sd but comes with dd5.1. i then upgraded to hd pack rm42, all becomes hd, dd5.1. can upgrade to uhd4k rm51 anytime but thought i'll wait a month or 2 since i have watched most of the 4k stuff during the trial. been watching a couple of old movies and some documentaries. i also noticed there are a few korean and one (yes, just 1) chinese tv series (mandarin/eng subs). hope more will get into the library. if there is nothing left to watch, i will just terminate, resubscribe at another time. the good news is there is no penalty for this unlike astro that charge even for a package downgrade. one thing netflix has demonstrated - sd, hd, 4k, dd5.1 - the tech is there for reliable smooth streaming. so, all the difficulties we encounter in iflix, atog, hypp e'where, kodi - be it "why no hd", poor audio or lagging - all that is becos someone or some party simply won't give it for free, and with good reason. can't expect everything free, yet expect big budget shows to keep coming! |

in this thread, i remember there were posts saying "unblock us" doesn't work anymore as well "it still works", special dns still can get usa netflix, etc.
since netflix has declared they will stop all that in a recent major announcement, and if it still possible for the ordinary user to do find backdoors, it can only mean netflix is not able to stop it. which in turn means the biz $ is still leaking. hence, i will not buy netflix stock yet. |

Just some inconvenience waiting in queue (at startup about 3 min). |

There was a small hiccup with Unotelly when Netflix started their block, but everything is working smooth as butter now. They managed a workaround.
Ipad, PS3/PS4 no problem. Granted I haven't tried netflix as a native TV app. |

At 4K res?? just hd for now. Yeah, Hundred eyes is best enjoyed after watching the complete season 1. This^^. Also, "I Saw The Devil". may go 4k (again) at a later time. |

QUOTE(voncrane @ Feb 17 2016, 10:12 AM) 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.. Noted. Will have to use static IP for my tablet then.. |

I was looking for ways for better netflix streaming and somebody mentioned qos
I turned on the qos feature on my router and have it prioritize my firetv stick ip address. The difference is absolutely amazing when using it, less buffer time when starting videos and streams to hd in seconds. Most importantly is no more sudden drops to blurry sd quality mid scenes and that was already on unifi. Using xiaomi router btw and tvunblock dns.

QUOTE(voncrane @ Feb 16 2016, 11:28 PM) 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.. What's the maximum quality for iflix videos now? I will say, I developed a new found liking for Korean action movies on Netflix.. Also, Kublai Khan & Hundred Eyes... » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 1080p? Got subtitles now for the tv show/movies? Haven't used it since the early days of beta trial iflix |

QUOTE(alucard89 @ Feb 18 2016, 09:44 PM) What's the maximum quality for iflix videos now? 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.1080p? Got subtitles now for the tv show/movies? Haven't used it since the early days of beta trial iflix |

I got to say, on my PC using my LED/LCD TV as monitor, comparing Iflix in SD and Netflix in SD , I actually prefer Iflix quality.
It looks closer to 720P although it's supposed to be SD, compared to Netflix SD which look inferior on my 3Mbps wireless connection. I guess Netflix compromises the Video quality in a more prudent manner on slower connection compared to Iflix. Both are of the same smoothness though.

No HD for iflix for now... maybe it will come after a year, when all free trials are over! |

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. The point I was making was on slow connections, I feel Netflix decreases the quality more than Iflix. |

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.Hope they increase the content or reduce the rates. |

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?

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..

Set up my Shield TV with Netflix flawlessly......maybe need some network tweaking again as Netflix viewing experience is still rather blurry "SD" type of resolution. or i just me as myself being spoiled with HyppTV 1080p resolution viewing.
Any workaround to force HD streaming fro Shield TV? i subscribed to Netflix HD plan with 30Mbps Unifi Advance. |

hi guys, currently I watch Netflix US via Hola vpn, obviously using my Mac (mirroring to my TV).
Somehow I miss the 4K quality which is possible if I watch directly thru my 4K tv. Is there a way for me to do that, I mean watching US Netflix from my 4K tv? Do I need to set vpn in the router? thanks |

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon : The Sword of Destiny
3/5 from me It's very obvious this movie is very westernised for western audience, more of western cowboy than eastern wuxia Starring with mostly english speaking Hollywood asian actors/actresses in fact it has lost most of the wuxia feel compared to the original one language is a big issue here, watching it in it's original English feels weird, whereas watch it in Mandarin feels like watching a dubbed chinese movie where the lip sync are all out watching in mandarin with english subtitle even worst, subtitle are out most of the time. One plus point is the breathtaking beautiful scenery the rest? meh... No wonder it's not a major release in Asian cinema |

Anyone experinced this? I'm on 50Mbps |

true about unstable connection to netflix, even hd.
not normal but seen it yesterday and today. well... if TM/unifi keeps giving this crap, netflix will lose customers and have to drop Msia from its biz coverage. |

QUOTE Telekom Malaysia Berhad ™ wishes to announce that our consortium members have detected a fault on the Asia Submarine Cable Express (ASE) system off Singapore, which affected our Cahaya Malaysia submarine cable linking Malaysia to North Asia and the United States. ASE consists of 6 fiber pairs of which TM owns 2 fiber pairs, named as Cahaya Malaysia. We have immediately taken pro-active steps by optimising our networks to reduce congestion and diverting traffic to alternative routes, thus, minimising the impact to our users. The restoration works requires concerted efforts of all consortium members, and is scheduled to begin on 25 March and is expected to be completed on 31 March 2016. However, we wish to highlight that the restoration works will be subject to weather and sea conditions, identification of the actual location of the fault and the challenges ahead, working at great sea depths and pressure. |

maybe it's dependent on your location.
i had some buffering yesterday but managed to watch whole episodes of a documentary. i also managed to watch a full movie without buffering but it drops to sd 20% of the time. but for uhd 4k, i think will be very disappointing. |

Anyone has this error message on their smart tv? Sometimes its NW-8-17 or Ui-113.
Have researched extensively online but to no avail. Malaysian netflix can access no problem, but when I try to use getflix, somehow it sometimes show this error message. Have tried rebooting, resetting, logging out of netflix, etc but still always the same problem. TV is connected thru wifi, netflix is watchable on other devices on wifi tho. |

For some reason, this only happens with the tv. The TV (LG UF950T) is state of the art, and it can access online content. I have tried deleting and reinstalling netflix, still the same problem. Then I thought that maybe the TV has preconfigured dns, so I went to configure static routing on the modem, so that the TV only directs to getflix's dns. Have already flushed dns cache also. Still the same issue, sometimes it loads (rarely), mostly it doesnt. Very frustrating. And I have 2 LG TV's at home. Guess what? Both same issue. Malaysia Netflix on the other hand, loads super fast and no issue. This post has been edited by Shinka: Mar 7 2016, 11:08 AM |

Hi bro Shinka,
In addition to the DNS, think you still need to set the Smart TV Country manually to US if you have not done so. http://www.bestsmartdns.net/for/lg-smart-tv/ Best of luck! |

My DNS works as usual already for US content, but the stream is not a full capacity/resolution (guess due to TM undersea cable issues). Revert back to local streaming for that glorious viewing.

Yup. The movies for local Netflix is quite limited. However, I think the series offered are quite decent, at least it is more than what I can consume. However I do miss Netflix Canada which has quite recent movies. Hope this VPN/DNS thing gets resolved quickly.
In the meantime, I am watching the series available (Better Call Saul, Sense 8...) |

It's a game of cat & mouse between those smart dns provider and Netflix.
Netflix will blacklist certain smart dns IPs from their servers, hence blocking out the smartdns services until the provider change their dns to a new IP then again, once Netflix detected a new dns IP, blacklist and block again provider change IP again, Netflix block again, change, block, change, block.... till provider ran out of IPs to change, Netflix wins So enjoy your smartdns while you can, sooner or later it gonna get blocked again |

QUOTE(happyking4ever @ Mar 7 2016, 05:12 PM) Actually Netflix loses when people unsubscribe. Hopefully Netflix thinks like Google and just put up an act of complying only. They don't care if some unsubscribe IMO those will unsubscribe due to region blocking is just small amount, negligible loss to them Majority of their users are US based anyway, and most international users are still depending on local contents. So yeah, very minimal financial impact on them Getting sued by those licensing company or license holders are a lot more costly for them. |

QUOTE(diablo2 @ Mar 7 2016, 11:51 AM) Hi bro Shinka, Tried using your advice, however the list of countries in the LG options are limited to countries in the asia region and australia.In addition to the DNS, think you still need to set the Smart TV Country manually to US if you have not done so. http://www.bestsmartdns.net/for/lg-smart-tv/ Best of luck! I guess all LG TVs in Malaysia have this region lock down encoded in their system. I would strongly encourage anybody who's planning to use VPN/unblocker to watch netflix to avoid LG TVs. I have 2 of them at home, and both are the same. Haih..should have bought a samsung instead lol. |

QUOTE(happyking4ever @ Mar 8 2016, 11:39 AM) Netflix cannot even offer their own self made content fully to our region. Its all LICENSING!!... Think TM's Hypptv vs Astro... Astro has broadcasting rights for EPL games in Malaysia... Without express permission from Astro, no other company/individual can legally offer the same content within Malaysia, without getting sued and losing cash in the process.Take House of Cards Season 4, I'm guessing either TM or RTL CBS Entertainment HD (under Hypptv) has broadcasting rights; rights that were probably sold to them before Netflix expanded to Malaysia and now can't be offered by Netflix. Could also be some other restriction in place (cough gove..m..net..cough). So yeah, to those thinking about unsubscribing and all that... I've got news for you: 1. Netflix offers a full 30 day trial period.. Pretty generous if you ask me... So test, if you don't like... Quit! That's the point of a trial period... 2. The inbound revenue from amount of people threatening to or down right quit, is wayyyyyy less than it would cost for Netflix to fight just one court case. Reputable international law teams do NOT come cheap. 3. Most major DNS services offer a trial period, so use that to test out your devices before dropping cash. Also, if your are technical enough, free working DNS servers are readily available on the internet. Sorry, please don't PM me about this... . As it's not a one time thing.4. The entertainment industry is big business.. Big media control is a thing ... Netflix has been dealing with licensing restrictions etc for years, so they know their stuff... One only needs to see that the amount of Netflix-owned shows & movies have been on the increase. This is them, trying to regain control... It'll take awhile. 5. There's always iflix... |

Will 'casting' degrade the quality? Will I be able to cast 4k or 1080P content? Sorry, new to casting here. |

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... Edit: Seems TM's connection's shaping up.. Since Friday, been able to stream Netflix @ a healthy 1080p, about 90% of the time. .. 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"...This post has been edited by voncrane: Mar 20 2016, 03:58 PM |

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? This post has been edited by clieman: Mar 22 2016, 12:27 PM |

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

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. |
