Netflix and virgin
 

Good monring every one slightly frustrated as my duaghter is at uni and shares my netlix allway from home,i understand netflix in there password sharing and as responable member of socity was willing to pay for her.
I pay extra to virgin for the ultra hd netflix but under netflixs new rules if you pay by a third party for netflix you cant add the extra members.
I think virgin need to change this so you can pay thru your bill.
Sorry for the rant::mad:

This would appear to be a limitation on Netflix's side because my understanding is it also affects Sky and BT customers for the same reason. But agree, it's not great!

Yer i just re phoned virgin i think they are hopefully if enoght people complain raise a issue because they need to state this withing there advirtising that this feautuer wont be avaliable.
Some one with netflix joins virgin pays the extra thru virgin for uhd then finds out there exsiting extra member account stops working.

I have not found a mention of the extra household add on at all through my emails or actual use. It just asked me to declare my household.
I also am wanting to add another location but maybe they are not even telling me this is an option as they can't deal with it admin wise.
Annoying if so.

Extra member slots are £4.99/m, which is the same as Standard with Ads https://help.netflix.com/en/node/24926
You can't add the former if you pay via a third party (Virgin, Sky, BT) so if your offspring is happy to put up with a few ads, I'd suggest signing them up for Standard w Ads.
I'm not sure how they'll track use on mobile devices. The marketing material for the password crackdown suggests you can still use a Basic or Standard account on holiday, so how are they policing that?

Doesn't it have to connect back to the home WiFi within 30 days?

Re: Netflix and virgin
 

That would make sense

Re: Netflix and virgin
 

No - that's just for portable devices

Re: Netflix and virgin
 

Are you sure? Surely the whole point of this is to stop password sharing, if it didn't have to connect to your home WiFi, then it would all seem a bit pointless. The whole 30 days thing is so you can watch it away from your home WiFi, say a hotel TV which won't need to connect to your WiFi as you might only be there for 7 days, but how would Netflix differentiate between you on holiday or you have shared your password.

Re: Netflix and virgin
 

Pretty sure.

Your link states

"Netflix is easy to use when on the go or traveling. Watch Netflix as usual on your portable devices - like a tablet, laptop, or mobile phone - or sign in to a new TV, like at a hotel or a holiday rental"

Though the original point was mobile devices anyway.
