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!

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.......

Ok. when i take a real look at the content, it is really lacking compared to the US one. 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.

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..

I am trying netflix on my himedia Q16. I think it is 480p. Is there any way to check the reso when the movie is playing. For ps3, if press the select button, it will show the reso of the movie playing

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..smile.gif

Rank Total Movies Series
#154 Malaysia 721 535 186

Officially Malaysia should have 535 movies and 186 series, but it does feel like the catalogue is smaller that the no reported above, right?

I don't know, by the way it's free dns. My friend told me, he use this ip:

Primary : 192.241.137.65
Secondary : 0.0.0.0

Works perfect for me and my friends. Btw all tested using PS4 system, didn't try direct router or pc. Using R3/Asia PSN.

OK I will try to set for my ps3, see if it works. It access US netflix? Can it access Canada Netflix?

i have not looked closely what korean action movies are in there but i did notice a good no. of chinese ones.

i only watched a bit of marco pilot previously but will continue soon. watched hundred eyes that day, not knowing it is a special!

i watch quite a bit of documentaries - the full content is excellent, will keep me going for a while.

If you have to watch only one Korean action movie, I recommend "The Man from Nowhere". Available on US version. Very good! It is like TAKEN on steroids.

watched this one. not bad.

i browsed thru the list... noticed 2 korean movies that i watched before, quite good - war of the arrows, old boy.

will also recommend you if u have not watched - zaitoichi (japanese) and warrior (indonesian).

now watching sword of the assassin (vietnamese), which looks ok but comes across as another typical chinese wuxia film! biggrin.gif the hd video quality is superb.

I remember watching War of the Arrows, it was really good. Arrow fights never looked better!

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...)
