Dedalus Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Netflix USA sucks, anyway. I cancelled my subscription. But doesn't Hola (the extension) work anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Building Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 British netflix seems to have a better selection of movies. Don't forget the Scandinavian countries. I found lots of good movies to watch when I was "living" in Denmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManUtd Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I switched back to Canadian netflix a while ago because fiddling with the dns all the time to use gamecentre was annoying. American netflix definitely has way better selection but I think I'm actually enjoying the Canadian one more. I've watched quite a few shows I never would have given a second glance on American netflix and really liked them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Was looking last night. Didn't notice a huge difference in newer movies, etc. The biggest difference is in TV. Like for comedy series, US Netflix has the whole back catalogue of Frasier, Cheers, 30 Rock, The Office, and more. Yeah, the tv shows is the main difference. Decided to give 30 Rock another chance because of it, and am surprisingly enjoying it. I also get my Comedy Bang! Bang! fix, as well as Bob's Burgers, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Cheers, The IT Crowd, etc. I switched back to Canadian netflix a while ago because fiddling with the dns all the time to use gamecentre was annoying.

Canadian Netflix has done a great job with newer movies, so we keep one room hooked up to Canadian Netflix (our media room) and our bedroom for US Netflix (tv shows).

aGENT Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 and our bedroom for US Netflix (tv shows). Ewww. No TV in the bedroom...bad mojo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Ewww. No TV in the bedroom...bad mojo. For the first 10 year of our marriage, we never had tv in our bedroom. However, last year we received Apple TV, so we decided to try it out. We were already falling asleep watching in our media room, so this was actually a huge improvement. We might watch one episode of Star Trek or an episode or two of something short. It's actually on prior to us settling into bed, while we get ready. We end up staying up a little longer after the episode is over to talk or to "talk". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Watch this in you bedroom tonight: http://www.cbc.ca/natureofthings/episodes/lights-out Read the short article. Interesting. Started watching the piece, but within 2 seconds I saw David Suzuki and immediately turned it off. Can't get into it, but I have a legitimate, personal beef with the guy. What I can say is that we had a run in several years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were wrong, he was right FYI he's in the show for like 10 seconds if I recall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were wrong, he was right FYI he's in the show for like 10 seconds if I recall Can't support the guy, just due to a personal run in back in the late 90s and how he spoke to my mother at a charitable function. What else I can say is that we didn't approach him or initiate any conversation. Perhaps he was just having an off day, and like all of us, have moments we would like do-overs on. But, it happened and it wasn't corrected at the time. He's done a lot of good, so I don't have anything against what he does. But personally, just can't support him.

AppleJack Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Hey everyone we have cdn netflicks they have a lot of movies I like watching but lack the tv documentries/ crime tv (criminal minds) and reality tv (animal planet shows) the american netflicks has.. so we are considering also getting shomi for the tv shows. Is it worth the extra $9 bucks? Would we really have to have shaw internet /tv to get it? We currently use telus but will be moving to a new place in march so we could switch. I have a lot of friends who claim telus is a better value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni Zamboni Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 so i finally figured out why netflix movies looked so weird on my new LG smart tv...after calibrating my tv and getting the picture quality to what i like for shaw programs, when i would switch to the netflix app, the movies looked awful( they had that soap opera effect.. even though i have turned off the tru motion feature when calibrating, which is what causes the soap opera effect)...i didnt realize that the netflix app also needed to be calibrated otherwise it would use the tv's default settings....it took me awhile cause when the app was on, if i pressed tv settings on the remote nothing happened...finally when i pressed the my apps button on the remote, it brings up the tv setting mode where i can calibrate it for the netflix app. just thought i would mention it for anyone else who may not beware...im a netflix noob.
