Help - clueless about Netflix

[HopelessHarriet]

I would like to watch The Crown, and the new Rebecca film with Lily James. Apart from that I don't need a subscription. How can I do this?

I have a full sky subscription but I don't think that's relevant?

Thanks.

Erm you can't watch Netflix without paying, not sure what you were expecting the answer to be?

Subscribe, watch what you want and then cancel?

I know it's not free but can I pay just to watch things as a one off?

No you can't I'm afraid, that's not how Netflix works.

You have to pay a monthly subscription. You can't buy shows one by one.

Just set up a subscription, watch the things you want and then cancel it. If you're lucky you can watch all that in a single month.

That's what we do with streaming services- we just hop between them so we only have 1 active subscription at a time.

It's £8.99 a month, so that's cheaper than buying all the episodes/movies as a one-off elsewhere.

Ah OK thanks I thought there would be a minimum period like a year

You might be able to get a free trial, if you're dedicated enough you could watch it all within that time!!!

We got Netflix as part of our last Sky package. Are you still in contract? If not, have a look and negotiate heavily. We almost halved our Sky bill this time (and got Sky Q and Netflix)

You can stop/start the subscription whenever you like. I usually stop it over the summer when I'm more likely to be out of the house. I've just started it again for The Crown and the cheesy Christmas films.

If you only need a single user it's only £5.99 per month and I think they sometimes do a buy one month get one month free for new subscriptions.

Can anyone tell me how to get Netflix when I've got Virgin cable? Do I ask Virgin to do it, or do something myself?

Do you have a smart TV? If so just download the app and sign up.

Free trial if nit had before is sometimes on offer , i had netflix bit offer from sky meant I got a lot cheaper so maybe look at your sky account see if any offers

Apologies for spelling my phone changes all o's to I's

I'm with Virgin and have a Tivo box. Netflix is already there, in the Apps & Games / all Apps section, or on channel 204. You can't use it unless you subscribe though and you do that with Netflix, not Virgin, then once signed up, enter your username/password on the app using your Virgin remote.

Thanks. Do I subscribe to Netflix on screen, or do I contact them?

From memory you just follow the instructions on screen although it has been a while since I signed up so it may have changed

I can't remember how I did it to be honest. I think you can sign up on your PC/phone though and once done, log into it on Virgin with your username and password.
