[quote=“Baas Babelaas”][quote=“Rockefeller”]For the record you guys, Jessica Jones and Master of None are indeed on Netflix. The service is also like $7.99 a month. Unlimited streaming with subscription. A good deal to boot, and an even better deal with the influx of quality original content such as the two shows mentioned.
C’mon. I have student/car loans too. Sometimes I stream stuff on youtube/vimeo/websites as well if they really aren’t available on official channels (since I’ve replaced my TV out for a laptop). But 8 bucks a month to support your favorite filmmakers with their means of living, all through one super convenient website. Did I mention it’s super convenient? It’s easy and convenient. That’s honestly a fair deal you guys.[/quote]
No go with Netflix in China. Dodgy internet, slowed down when the VPN’s running. Have no beef supporting Netflix, just a matter of location.[/quote]
You can’t currently sign up for Netflix in Taiwan without doing some kind of VPN work-around. And actually I did try to sign up using Witopia and I couldn’t make that work either. But I’ll be signing up when the service opens here, I believe early in 2016. I’m hopeful but not sure that using a VPN at that point will let me (illegally?) access content available in different countries.
I am trying to become more legit in my TV and film viewing, but region locations make that really friggin’ difficult. It is far far easier to pirate something than it is to pay for something. For example, I’m paying for the current season of Doctor Who with the iTunes store (somewhat illegally and violating the terms of service, since I’m accessing my iTunes Canada account from Taiwan), but I still wind up pirating the same episode half the time because I can use spouse-friendly Chinese subtitles with the pirated version, or I can easily put it on a USB stick and watch it on my old TV. I can’t do that with the iTunes version. At least iTunes Canada will let me pay, even though I’m breaking their rules. Hulu Plus, Netflix, Amazon … they won’t take my money.[/quote]
I hear your frustrations. Have you guys tried Hola (found at Hola.org)? I subscribe to Netflix, but then use the Hola plug-in to access Netflix in other countries for content that aren’t available in good ol’ 'Murica. So say, when I want to watch Better Call Saul and it isn’t on the regular Netflix, I turn on Hola and click on France which will make it think I’ve traveled to France, where it’s available. Or another country if I want other contents that are available elsewhere (Canada, U.K., Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, YouNameIt), all searchable through a database at flixsearch.io/.
Anywho, for your consideration. It’s just super easy and convenient is all. Full seasons, instantly .
P.S. I use the Chrome browser
P.P.S.Hey you guys, happy holidays!
