You can, that device just has to connect to your Wi-Fi at home and open the app

This is going to be annoying. My kids have tablets they only use for

So no impact on you since you log in before you leave.

But do I have to specifically watch something? I mean I can do that just

They gotta do something. I'm shocked (sarcasm) at the amount of people upset they will lose access to a product they

It's funny they were encouraging pw sharing not too long ago

Yeah - I don't think that's true.

Agreed.

I guess open up the app at home before you travel. That sounds slightly inconvenient. I guess they could cap devices to

shimmy

Ya opening the app before I leave is only a minor inconvenience. I'm more thinking about when I'm waiting in a lobby

Yeah, I hope it is pretty seamless or it will be a problem.

I gotta think when your TV signs in, they're smart enough to know it's your

Meh. I don't see the big deal.

Thinking more about this, I don't know how they are going to manage this technically. I think

They already do limit concurrent streams between 1 and 4 depending on tier.

supertux

2/1/23 10:38am

Seems it would be easier to do something like there is only 1 stream allowed outside of your

Umm no. Even ha and elemwntart kids at various axtivities spread around

CarolinaCoug

2/1/23 12:36pm

To your last paragraph. I thought they already did that. No more than 2 streams allowed at one time.

kalifi

Kinda. Their premium package has 4 concurrent streams, but it’s also the only one with UHD.

Great. So when I spend 2 months in Bora Bora this summer I'm going to have all kinds of problems

RSL

Guess you'll find out why they call it Bora Boring.

Meh — People will just keep working around it until the $3 fines start coming.

Hmm, so my kid at college can't use our Netflix? Seems stupid.

Coach's Dad

2/1/23 10:36am

This is probably the demographic most affected, but Netflix probably doesn't care. Those kids will just

CSoul

Probably best to cut the cord. They are at college now.

Baron

I don't disagree, but at what point do our kids..

FulhamUte

When they are done with college? That's when I do it.

This is stupid. See yah Netflix.

It's better than their previously announced plan - which was to automatically

StantonMac

I bet Netflix loses a lot of subscribers. I almost never watch Netflix. I don’t

It will be the complete opposite.

TCuz

It will be interesting to see what happens. Netflix has enough competition now.

Same thing for us & our extended family. It gets used, but rarely.

I cancelled Netflix in 2020. Life is better without it.

Just enable the VPN on your home router and configure it to use on your tablet or computer. No big deal.
