Yea its 8 bucks a month, but I'd probably pay 20 a month for netflix. Theres something for everyone. Works great on pc, ps3, xbox...We fired bright house because of netflix. saved us bunches. to each their own i suppose.

Lmao! It was a struggle for me...I have to confess I actually pay for Hulu Plus too for that reason..which is only another 7 bucks a month. It just killed me paying 60 dollars a month to watch comedy central, trutv, and the history channel. And this BH on demand is hooorrrible with these scientific atlanta boxes!
 
I have been using my ex boyfriend's account, and not paying for it so i have Netflix for free!
 
My ex has netflix, I have his log in info, so I just use it, and then only watch the streaming videos, obviously I can't get any of the ones they have to mail cuz they would go to his house not mine. He knows I am doing this, so if you know someone who has a netflix account you can ask them for their log in info, and share the account. It doesn't matter if you live together or anything.....He can stream a movie to his computer at the same time I stream one to my computer, while I am across town, and it will work for both of us....I also know other people who are sharing accounts.

Won't install onto my ascend for some reason.. And also, when I try to go the ES file explorer route, the changes I make in the code won't save. I get an error message saying "There was an error trying to save, do you want to close anyway?"

I got the xda version to work from the link above. Turns out I had to uninstall the market version first. But now I've got it up and running. It's just a tad laggy, but works just fine other than that.

congrats!!! glad you got everything up and running.:D
 
Why does anyone have to do a workaround. I am running Cm7 and just downloaded netflix on my ascend and it works like a charm.
 
I have the xda no-device check version of the app.. and now there's an update on the android market such that the app tells me I can't run it without the update. If I download it, will I not be able to use Netflix anymore? Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I imagine it will replace the xda version and therefore, not work.

Netflix Removes Device Check, Should Work on Most Android Devices (Updated) - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog

Nevermind. The market update WAS removing the device check, even though the description on the app's page has it only working for a handful of devices. This worked for me anyway.
 
So Netflix had been working just fine for me up until a few days ago. I can still log in and everything but it says it'a been deactivated for my device. I was curious as to whether anyone else had the same problem (maybe Netflix deactivated it?) or if maybe it's just a problem with my particular account. Anyone?

Do you have the version from XDA installed?

No. I had the version from the market installed as they had previously released an update that made it work just fine on my Ascend even though it isn't listed as a supported device in the description. A lot of people had this.
 
This happened to me when I changed roms. I had to do the workaround again, and uninstall netflix then reinstall it, then it worked. I haven't used the one from xda, i guess it doesn't have the device check....
