That would be good but i'm not sure it's quite right?

Your mate wouldn't be able to log into the UK netflix from Oz without using a VPN, he could log into the Oz Netflix using your details though.

There is no Netflix in France so you wouldn't be able to log in without a VPN.

You can just use a browser addon, it's really not hard.

Yeah I should have mentioned that option :)

Do you know if there is an add-on for dolphin browser as that's what I use on my tablet?

We have been a bit slow in our household regarding watching The Bridge. Have just finished watching Series 1 only to find that Series 2 isn't on Netflix and it's no longer available on iPlayer either :(

How come they aren't up to date with the series they show? We had missed the first 2 series of Luther and watched those on Netflix, luckily had already seen series 3 when it was TV but it's a flipping nuisance when you just get into watching something and you can't access any further series :shocked:

Because Netflix is only £6 p/m and for that price, they can't fund having the latest series on, which would be more expensive than buying the rights when they are a little older and DVD sales are past there prime. Also rights issues come in to play.

Netflix are doing some things a little differently, and depending on rights may be a sign of things to come? On Netflix Netherlands, on a couple of ABC shows,they are adding an episode weekly, the day after it airs in the states. I believe Netflix UK did the same with a couple of shows in the UK. Obviously for that to happen, no channel in that country will have the broadcast rights to the show.

Given that Alibi has dumped White Collar and 5 USA dumped Justified, maybe Netflix UK could do it with those, and add episodes already aired?

But with $3bn to spend in 2014, are you sure that Netflix cannot afford the latest series? I think it's more to do with rights issues, personally.

It's down to both; rights issues and good husbandry of their resources. Thing is, people want their cake and to also eat it; you can't have cheap subscription rates and loads of up to date content.

I wasn't disagreeing with you, PB, but I was saying that it was more likely to be the rights issues.

Do you know if Netflix costs more in the US? They have loads of content on there. I think the sheer reach of Netflix means that a financial model that will produce very small profits on some expensive but popular programmes actually works very successfully.

Netflix is $7.99 a month, which converts to £4.88. Cheaper than the UK.
