A colleague at work is currently trying Netflix membership...he's saying that it's improving, but still the choice of what you can see and the stream quality is very limited, far away from what our fellows on the other side of the pond are experiencing

Personally I would prefer whether a service like LoveFilm would be available. I might try to contact them, signing an NDA, get the protocol specification and trying to make a plugin...

I asked because I have been using the Playon plugin and netflix, hulu along with other playon channels. I have found it great, but few days ago netflix started having some issues. I couldn't get a Genres page but new releases work fine. I have contacted playon and the problem should be fixed asap.

So just to confirm you are using Netflix UK with playon and it generally works fine? If so may have to look into this as I use a Wii to access Netflix currently but would be great to use my HD300 - what is the video quality like?

Thanks.

The video quality is perfect. As I have said playon are updating their software in the next few days which will rectify the recent problem I have been having (genres section showing no videos). Playon also gives me some hulu access and more on my server and allows me get US netflix content using "unblock us". I find it great.

I cannot get it to work with UK Netflix, when I choose Netflix from the Playon menu it says unavailable outside US/Canada?

Do you have it working with UK Netflix?

Answer my own question, Playon support advised they do not support Netflix UK yet and no date on plans to.

Use "unblock" us on your server.
