after a few weeks of playing with iflix, let me share what i know or what i think i know about it...

.. it is auto detect on unifi or (streamyx), it does NOT need email/fb registration.
.. i had used diff dns's, does not seem to matter.
.. 5 devices are allowed to register, i.e. app installed, profile loaded.
.. only 2 devices allowed work at any one time.
.. works on ipad, should be same for all mobile phones and tablets.
.. works in smart tv's.
.. works on some android boxes, does not work on others.

.. common problems - "oops, embarrassing", ask for fb log in, email to register, blank screen, etc..

if the request to register pops up on one device, go to another one that works to delete device that is not working from the profile, wait 10 mins, then try again, i.e. re-register. it worked for me.

I don't know whether to share this for those on 1 mth trial versions , but I'll take the risk of Iflix pluggng the loophole.

Just before your 1 mth Trial ends, clear the Browser cache (Windows, don't know about Android), and start a Trial again. Then give another email address and start another free 1 mth trial.

I will continue doing this every mth until they end their 1 mth free trial campaign biggrin.gif

This is normal.. Possibly cuz their trial system is based on email registration & stored cookies... The primary reason why Netflix requires a charge card or PayPal account linked to one's trial account.. Free emails can be gotten in seconds, PayPal & bank card verifications are much more of a hassle. Eventually, one will run out of charge cards.. Same can't be said for new emails.

Edit: Disclaimer notice... Such techniques are frowned upon.. shakehead.gif

Nothing to frown upon. I am grinning from ear to ear biggrin.gif

They didn't say anything about not allowed to use different emails for free trial. Until they plug their loophole, it's their problem, not mine.

If people can use Kodi to watch Live Events, Movies, TV shows for free that are protected by copyright, what I am doing is nothing compared biggrin.gif

Hey, no argument here.. It's a disclaimer incase some folks have funny ideas.. A man's got to do what a man's got to do whistling.gif. However, just cuz you refuse to see it as your problem does not make it theirs.. As such practices, at the very minimum, are ethically & morally wrong. We can't deny that. Iflix, Netflix, big media trusts us to be fair (well... tongue.gif). Summarily, one does not commit a smaller crime, then when caught & tried, points at others who committed bigger crimes and got away with it.. The hammer's going to fall regardless. smile.gif

If the Star Newspaper prints a free cupon cut-out to redeem a free Burger at McDonalds, and doesn't say one person is entitled to one Burger only, then it's nothing wrong for me to use 10 different cupons to claim 10 Burgers.

There's nothing immoral here smile.gif .

If want to talk about morally wrong, then like you and me viewing copyrighted stuff for free using 'ahem' Kodi add-ons biggrin.gif

on IFLIX:

X-Files, 9 seasons. goes way back, i have all the DVD's. tongue.gif

this is one of the best tv series ever made.

In one of the longest-running science fiction series in network TV history, FBI special agents investigate unexplained, mind-bending cases known as "X-Files." Though the government is convinced that the outlandish reports are false, conspiracy theorist Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and realist Dana Sc… More
First episode date: September 10, 1993


also watched the 6 episodes season 10 which just concluded.

season 10B or 11 will return later this year or 2017, i am sure. agents mulder&scully, doggett&reyes will probably be in and out as guests stars while miller and einstein take over. rclxms.gif


also on iflix, GODFATHER trilogy. watch this and u dun need to watch any other american gangster/mafia movie. biggrin.gif

Just started watching the very first episode of X-Files yesterday. Picture quite grainy due to made for SD CRT TV (Episodes started in early 1990s I think.

Bought back memories of yesteryears. How time has flown,

Well and good on your 30mbps Unifi. But on my slow connection , generally SD from my Iflix still looks better than Netflix SD.

no doubt. i seem to be addicted to netflix, hardly go to iflix anymore.

to be honest, with netflix (movies, tv series, documentaries) and hypptv (news, living, food, bbc earth shows), even my android box now get less attention.

the root reason: HD-UHD-4K spoils you bad! tongue.gif

I reverse gear... laugh.gif

Becos I gave up Netflix after getting blocked for US content. Not worth RM42 pm for such limited content, which is like 20% of US content for same price.

IFlix... Not too bad and after I checked in detail. They don't have the latest season but have great tv shows like Vikings, Homeland, Arrow, Flash, Person of Interest... which Netflix may not have. Quite a lot of Korean tv series, but lacking in Chinese series.

They are all SD but with upscaling, close to 480p, very watchable.

The apk's do not work on many devices, but works fine on smart tv's, I believe.

Look for version 2.1.10.0. 2.1.11.0 does not work on my tv.

Anyone who knows a great version that works on any android box, please share!

I have never used Iflix, but Unotelly still works with Netlfix for unlocking US content...so I am keeping my subscription.

If you want current TV , Hulu has a great mix with lots of current releases....Blindspot, Jimmy Kimmel, Hells Kitchen, Blacklist, Bachelor etc etc. Some Korean and Chinese dramas too which the wife enjoys.

thanks for info.

i am kinda lazy to go thru vpn, smart dns, credit cards... etc. tongue.gif

just like the idea of hassle free.

moreover, i seldom run out of things to watch.

with hypptv, iflix, android apps and torrent, will never run out of things to watch. biggrin.gif
