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

i just VPN to trinidad and signed up for the 1 month trial also. There are both movie/TV content for the Latin America Region as expected, but the non LAR content seems to be somewhat on-par with the US/CA content. Check attached screenshots for Genres and some of the available content differences, your not missing alot they can keep the one highlighted.


Ok some good news, it seems that the account is not linked to a region. i.e a T&T created account will be usable in US, CA, etc.... well US confirmed for me. The content also changes for region that you are connected from which is good for persons who may have their VPN subscriptions still available.

From what i've noticed so far. There are alot of movies that we don't have access to here, that US Netflix has.

Some of them we don't have from in that image right there ^

ok so wat ur sayin is that if i already hav a US account, it can be used without a VPN in trinidad?

[Fkacn_tt]

yup basically, just know the content available will change according to the region your in.

Doomtack the same holds through in the reverse, T&T has US movies that the USA dose not have. Overall a VPN will give you the best of both worlds.

[Doomtack]

doh lie... well that cool

So far i've noticed that some content is ONLY in spanish and cannot be changed. Heroes series is one example.... I hope that gets rectified some time...

My other problem is that, although i pay for a 5Mb package from Blink, i'm unable to get an HD stream on Netflix

[jason19842]

anyone else got Netflix to work without the VPN workaround?

I think thats what Jason19842 did, he can confirm...

I followed the instructions from unblockusa.com and it worked but it's a one week trial am using...going to try it without the DNS to see if it's working now.

Glad to see that this was just a misunderstanding. Netflix wouldn't be so hot in my household if it was just one stream allowed....

UPDATE: Netflix is NOT limiting its streaming! See details below.
Whew! Crisis averted. What looked to be another blow for Netflix customers today — people who pay for streaming plans could no longer watch more than one movie or show at a time on multiple devices — is not really happening. For those who already decided to scrap the DVD mailing plan when the company separated its signature red envelopes from its instant viewing plan this summer, effective Sept. 1, the enforcement of Netflix's single-stream policy could have been the final straw.
Turns out, Netflix had a glitch and sent out error messages, in error.
Thanks to Time for this:
"No Netflix member is limited to less than two concurrent streams," Netflix spokesman Steve Swasey sent in an email. "A few Netflix members have heard differently from us, which is an error that we are correcting."
But, should they ever decide to do this in the future, Mashable reports the enforcement's most likely casualties: "The change could have a major effect on how families use Netflix. No longer can one person watch a movie from the iPad while the rest of the family watches another film on the Xbox, for example."
Netflix caused quite a stir on its own social media platforms this summer with its announcement that members could no longer have a combination plan of DVDs and streaming. The separated plans also came with a 60 percent price hike. (Once a combined $9.99, the streaming service is now $7.99, while the cheapest DVD plan is also $7.99.) This could open the way for rivals such as Redbox to gain angry ex-Netflix subscribers, thousands of whom have said they would cancel their service.
While there was a decline in net subscriber additions from the first quarter of 2011 to the second, the mass exodus has yet to be reflected in Netflix's financial reports — yet. If anything, the third quarter report should show what impact the separation of plans has had.
Netflix also might feel the burn from the loss of movies from Starz. Talks between the two companies broke down last week.
Once those error messages started popping up limiting streams, members once again took to the Netflix Facebook page to air out their grievances on this latest (supposed) affront.

+5 to you slaming for the excellent research on that region issue.

Good to know.

Gonna give that free trial a spin. See if I can get the misses even more distracted (as if the Ipad 2 wasn't enough)

Uninterrupted Midnight sweat here I come!!!

Who knows if Netflix will be around a year from now. Check out these scifi shows in case you missed them

http://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/television/10-scifi-series-netflix-instant-watch-company-collapses.html

We’re living in a golden age of television viewing. Not because of what’s airing on network or cable television right now, most of that’s reality programming crap, but because of all the great, older content that’s available with the touch of a button thanks to the genius of Netflix Instant Watch.

Unfortunately, this golden age may be woefully short lived. Netflix is in trouble. Greedy content providers have seen dollar signs and in response all that on demand content currently available in one spot is on the verge of being pulled out of circulation to be scattered to the four winds of the internet, or in some cases buried in a deep vault somewhere hidden until the rights holder can squeeze a few more dollars out of some other content provider. Maybe Netflix could find a way to survive that, but other recent business decisions made by the company seem destined to doom them entirely (Qwikster? Seriously what are they thinking?).

Maybe they survive but just in case they don’t, now is the time to maximize your Netflix Instant Watch usage to catch up on great science fiction that, unless you were willing to pay top dollar for a box set on Amazon, there was just no convenient way to watch before. Because getting TV shows one DVD at a time in the mail just won’t do, these are the best science fiction series available on Instant Watch, right now.

That's some solid advice there woody.

People have been saying "woe" for Netflix for sometime now. Would be a shame to see it come to pass.

Hopefully, to be replaced by something even more ubiquitous. FacebookFlix or NetPlus ftw.

I'll need a year vacation to watch the 1000+ episodes listed altogether in that article.

Also, strange that Babylon 5 didn't make the cut. Is it not available on the service?

[Eroo]

UPDATE: It now seems Unblockus is no longer necessary. I am connecting at work without the use of changing the DNS.

Ok on closer looking at the store it appears to be different from the US, need to compare it home with both to tell.

Xbox 360 Dashboard update coming soon...tons of new options, not sure if region blocking will be in place, most likely, but lets hope not...

[Jarrox]
