Netflix Free Trial

[hc4361]

Well, that's a nice surprise! On a whim I signed up for the one month's free trial and today I decided to cancel it expecting the usual palaver of hunting for the cancellation method on the website - in my experience of other sites it is always well hidden and complicated, involving answering questions about my reasons for cancelling.

Not with Netflix. Signed in to 'my account' and there was a big 'cancel membership' button in full view. One click and all done.

Hurrah!

i cancel and restart all the time, they are very easy and no "why are you leaving us hassles"

Glad to hear that, I've just received an invite for 6 months free on Netflix.
So, I might give it a go after I come back from holiday.

I really need to sign up to Netflix but I'm pee'd off that I can't get it on my (not so) smart telly or on Sky. I'd have to hook up one of the kids laptops which I'm sure they let me without roaring.

[rockyracoon]

Speaking of Netflix, is there a webpage on the site where you can see what they've got on offer before I start faffing about and making the kids cry?

Rocky, i thought you had tivo? its channel 204

[rockyracoon]

Fluff, I'm on Sky :(

That link takes me to members login.

[mccfluff]

hmmm, it seems it wants you to sign up first

im mainly watching box sets, im on numbers at the mo, breaking bad is on there as is dexter, films are a bit rubbish, depends what you like though

[mccfluff]

worth the trial just for "orange is the new black"

[rockyracoon]

Is Grey's Anatomy on there? daughter is going mad as Really has stopped showing them after series 4.

[hc4361]

Not a problem signing up for the free trial via Sky. Just as easy to cancel.

[mccfluff]

just checked and its isn't :-(

[rockyracoon]

is it on the Sky platform? I didn't think it was. What channel is it on?

[Bathsheba]

A subscription to Netflix is still required for Virgin Tivo channel 204.

:(

Looks like the kids might have to cry for a bit.

[ummmm]

Rocky...have the kids got an Xbox? We watch Netflix on ours..

[rockyracoon]

Yep, son has an xbox but it's in his bedroom, if I bring it out for my benefit he'll see it as a greenlight to use the big telly to play his crappy games.

I can get a lead for the iPad but it's £35 :(

You could get a media player to 'smarten up' your TV, rocky

This will do it, dave

They're very neat HC - the media player is freestanding & doesn't need a tablet/PC to be running, but both will do the job.

[rockyracoon]

Ooh, what happens with one of those then, how does it work?
