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 doh.gif

in term of price per content, iflix won the race by miles

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 doh.gif

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 doh.gif
watching in mandarin with english subtitle even worst, subtitle are out most of the time. doh.gif

One plus point is the breathtaking beautiful scenery
the rest? meh...

No wonder it's not a major release in Asian cinema

My Netflix was already expired , so was going to download the 720P torrent.

But now reading the reviews, don't want to bother.

Netflix seem to be releasing bad exclusives , a perfect example the recent ridiculous 'The Ridiculous 6'
*
their exclusive movies which is a few only, you can just forget it

but their exclusive series and documentary are top notch! thumbup.gif
Dare Devil, Jessica Jones, House of Cards and etc thumbup.gif

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.... doh.gif

till provider ran out of IPs to change, Netflix wins doh.gif

So enjoy your smartdns while you can, sooner or later it gonna get blocked again doh.gif

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 tongue.gif

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.

No one is broadcasting House of Cards Season 1 now and yet Netflix cannot offer their very own content. How long those licensing deal going to last? No one broadcasts also cannot offer.

Already watching Netflix btw, with ahem unblocking (fingers crossed).

iam using 8mb streamyx, currently using trial a/c. Netflix only give me 480 quality and mostly in the night time, sometimes even drop to 240!
Day time can provide at 1080 but inconsistently!

Same here, I think screamyx screwed up on the connection
Was able to get 1080 constantly past few weeks, but since 2 days ago I only can get 480 at best doh.gif
It even dropped o 240 regularly:x

I'm on screamyx 8mb

previously no issue at all watching full HD videos on my smartTV's youtube apps

only recently it started, SD quality on youtube, netflix even worst, smartDNS basically make things worse to constant 240p quality, or keep on seeing the buffering screen doh.gif
service only improve a bit after switching back to google DNS, at least I can get 1080 occasionally, but the quality are still erratic doh.gif

reboot router, change router, doesn't solve the issue, so yeah, pretty sure it's telekom's fault as speedtest result are not constantly stable as well... mad.gif

Recently, I could access Netflix US again thru Getflix. It is sporadic. Not stable.

hmm.gif I'm using M'sia DNS (as per their suggestion, choose the nearest), which only has U8 as option only
I can't get it working for the past few weeks, hence now I'm watching Amazon Prime Video most of the time, same price like Netflix, lesser movies, but still waay better than Netflix Msia. Got few HBO series as well, best of all: Orangutan, Hamster & Capt Slow is back over there! thumbup.gif

Amazon Prime is here? Anyone tried? 4k?

not sure about local MY Prime support 4K or not, you'll need to use their apps to stream 4k content
using web browser no 4K

but mine US Prime indeed has 4K HDR, watching The Grand Tour is like watching auto porn brows.gif

Netflix recommends at least 25Mbps for smooth 4K & HDR streaming... So those on Unifi Adv30Mbps & above should be fine. You can get by with less, but it won't be smooth streaming. The Netflix app is smart to quickly adjust displayed resolution in line with current speed..means, you can have a 100Mbps line but if tied up in say p2p connections and have less than the recommended 25Mbps, then it drops the res to 1080p. 1080p requires about 5Mbps for smooth streaming. Ideally 10mbps, if you have more active users on the network.

IMO, better to get really smart TV from say Samsung, LG, Sharp or Sony. The right one should be officially recognized/verified by Netflix to be able to run their app and also receive updates in the future. Additionally, you can have a separate media device connected to the TV for alternative media playback.
*
my screamyx 8mbps sometimes is struggling to get 1080p, when TM is in good mood, I'll get fullHD
but most of the time is 720p doh.gif

for the certified devices/TV, i've gotten a Firestick plugged into my Sammy Smart 4K, loving it so far, used it more than the stupid Tizen OS from Samsung
only downside it's not support 4K, drooling to get a Roku Premium next tongue.gif
