Watch Netflix in Trinidad on PS3,PC, XBOX 360, etc.

[iDynamic]

not seeing that option on ps3

Use the computer to sign up but hold up a bit from the looks of what the guy said above it may be better if you go with the regular American Netflix so don't rush and pay for it yet

[iDynamic]

Update : my friend just Registered for the Trinidad version , didn't have any problems until he tried to watch movies and stuff apparently it's in Spanish and he can't change the language

guys what speed internet is required to to properly stream HD content?

I have a 5 mb flow and my movies HD takes about 9 secs for the stream to begin then it never stops , loads or anything it plays as if I. Watching the movie/ show from my hard drive....

[nismoid]

Registered for netflix yesterday and it works fine, the movies are about 100 years old but streams fast (flow 25mb). However there seems to be a problem with my Sony Blu ray player with integrated netflix, it cannot connect to netflix, something about not available in my area so i have to watch it on the computer.

Your shows / movies in spanish ?

[ironman2012]

have a 4mb blink,movies streaming very good but no HD whatsoever

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

I'll stick with the US version of netflix yes

full selection, no spanish and more HD content

[Stephon.]

Alright as of now, the current selection is not as good as the U.S one and a lot of the stuff has spanish subtitles even if you select no subtitles and some shows such as The Office, is in complete spanish, at least from what I checked out.

This will NOT work on your xbox 360 or LG Netcast apps yet, as they have not been updated for compatibility etc. Support told me that the Wii and PS3 and some Samsung TV'S might work along with the western digital tv live plus.

Thispost just confirmed it for me. I'll stay with my us Netflix. It's worth the extra couple of dollars.

Hey forum,

I can't say I agree with this post which claimed the same movie library as the US...

just got off the phone with Netflix, just to confirm, Trinidad will get service on the 12th of September, for same price as U.S monthly subscription, and the Trinidad library is the same as the U.S library as per what the customer service girl said. And their Starz contract is up in February and they're looking for another lucrative deal.

I can't say that I agree with this at all. I've been a subscriber since January, 2011 and comparing my viewing history with what's available in the T&T version I get the following:

Summary:
Total US Shows Viewed 377
Total TT Shows Matched 46
Estimated Percentage 12%

Now this isn't a perfect statistic since this will be skewed by my family's viewing tastes which do not cover the entire gamut of the Netflix library but you do see a definite disparity. Also it will not account for shows in the T&T library which are not in the US library. One such show I found was Gattaca.

Just my $0.02.

^ very interesting that there are titles in the T&T selection that are NOT in the US selection - now that is weird!

[pete]

Think it'll work with a 2 Mbit Blink connection?

[Ignorant Ignis]

i wanna know this to

[sexyicon]

It is limited
My sister in the US has more movies than I do

Btw account sharing is possible and totally legal jus in case anyone was wondering

[Ignorant Ignis]

^^^then lend me your username and password nah

[pete]

Well it works on my 2mbit blink. TV series like Californication and a couple others weren't available in English and Grey's Anatomy only had up to Series 4 (Just to show how limited it is) but there are quite a few older movies I don't mind watching so will give it a month try.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

You can share your account but as of last week netflix changed their policy: you can't watch movies simultaneously - you can watch a movie and a tv show simultaneously though.

Maybe not, the streaming license probably expired or Netflix probably limits the library online per region to save on bandwidth and/or licensing fees.

From Wikipedia:

According to Netflix Tech Support, Netflix's content library is encoded into three bandwidth tiers, in a compression format based on the VC-1 video and Windows Media audio codecs. The lowest tier requires a continuous downstream bandwidth (to the client) of 1.5 Mbit/s, and offers stereo audio and video quality comparable to DVD. The middle tier requires 3 Mbit/s, and offers "better than DVD quality". The highest tier requires 5 Mbit/s, and offers 720p HD with surround sound audio. As of December 2010, the PS3 is the only device able to stream Netflix at 1080p resolution.

Personally however I don't have a PS3 (got an Xbox) and I've not been able to experience any surround sound titles, only stereo to my recollection... hopefully a future firmware upgrade will solve that...

How can you switch to HD with PS3?

yes it's a fact that Canada has fewer titles than the US due to licensing and the same will apply to T&T

the US netflix has Gataca but for rental on DVD only - not for streaming

jus signed up for it via my free trial on ps3 and it works

Me too !!! Its working so far so good.
Picture quality is mostly good, but sometimes the resolution seems to drop off occasionally.

Trying to get it going on a Wii , but getting to the point that says its not supported in my area. How can I fix that ?

that's bandwith issues

your net connection may not be fast enough so instead of stopping the movie, it just drops the quality (video and audio) but keeps playing.

[pete]

That's probably why I can't get HD.

Ah well, Torrents FTW.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

You will know if a title is offered in HD because it will have a HD icon next to it

like this


and it will have it in the description too
