sscomp32 Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 http://m.gadgets.ndtv.com/tv/news/netflix-launched-in-india-plans-start-at-rs-500-per-month-786529 650 for hd ,500 for normal service.its great but I already have good access to new movies and my dth subscription is at a very minimal price.will try out after getting feedbacks from my friendsI feel the 800 plan is best. Get 4 friends to subscribe together and it becomes 200 per head with full HD.

Yeah sharing is the best option .But sharing has its own disadvantages.2 can't watch the same TV show as it will be inconvenient to remember which episode u lost (and that really sucks ).So would need to wait till one completes the series before other person start watching .Unless all four friends have completely different tastes .IMO its better to share it as 2 than 4 people option
maniac Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Launched everywhere..still 500 is too much.what? It's $9 here in the us so same price.but you accentuate the fact that why I think Netflix will not succeed in India as people have seen most stuff online via torrents and other illegal streaming sites.for all the shows you follow I think you can cop out 500 easily .....piracy is not a victimless crime remember that.
maniac Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 I think its just a matter of time before Hulu and Pandora to debut in India. Finally have a reason to buy roku. Hulu won't work..... I myself don't care for Hulu because a) there are no choices for good movies and b) it is more for people who are following the current TV shows running on the network and missed the last 2 or 3 episodes.pandora might work because it has the option of free streaming with limited skips but it's already on the down here with competitors like Amazon music Etc Detonator 1
maniac Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 the ISPs need to be on the a game and work with a giant like Netflix as piracy is rampant in India..... I mean it's not that difficult to get away with pirating movies software etc in the U.S. either but there is a chance that your ISp can catch you.i have known people who have gotten letters to stop doing it as a first warning which jolted them into following the straight path.
Shivaji bhonsle Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 if you want to use Roku player in India, you have to get high speed internet connection. I mean really high which is not possible for Indians as of now.

Chromecast costs around 3000 hardly big bucks. Definitely worth it imo

All of them should log in with the same credentials but can select their own profiles once they are logged in.
Mosher Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Another problem in India is the pathetic FUP limit in broadband . No options for truly unlimited internet in Bangalore. Guys in Hyderabad got it good. Edited January 9, 2016 by Mosher
