VIP with Netflix

Hiya, my VIP includes Netflix but Netflix is getting used less and less as the quality of the content gets poorer and poorer, if it possible to remove Netflix and have the monthly cost of the VIP adjusted to reflect this?

Hi @NigelB72

Thanks for your post!

Sorry for any confusion here. It isn't possible to remove Netflix from the VIP package as it's inclusive in the cost of the package. You'd have to change your TV package. We have five flexible TV packages to pick from: Sport, Big Sport, Entertainment, Big Entertainment and VIP. During a 24-month contract, you can switch between them every 30 days allowing you to pay for only the things you really want.

Thanks,

Robbie

@RobbieMac I thought that'd be the case. I like the rest of the package so I'll leave it alone

@Deano123 it's absolutely awful at the moment. Most of their originals are very poor... I have AppleTV and most of the stuff I've watched is very high quality. Love Ted Lasso and watched Invasion at the weekend which was excellent

Silo is shaping up very nicely on Apple TV+, highly recommend, as is Foundation if you can get your head around the time jumps.

I recommend SEE as well, I loved it.

Currently working our way through The Recruit on Netflix which is decent, but I agree there is a great deal of “meh” on the platform.

They are adding all the Harry Potter films shortly, has anyone not seen them at this point?

Paramount is running some good shows aswell.

Netflix is all old . A lot of ducumentaries and a lot of dubbed shows which really are not for me. . We shouldnt be forced to pay for a service we dont want. They can say its included in the price but thats is just worked into the package. Its not like its free . I find more to watch on plex tbh. And feevee

@Anonymous I'm not really sure about See but I've heard good things so I'll probably give it a crack

The final season of Picard was very good, on both Paramount and Prime.

I have enjoyed Yellowstone and Rabbit Hole as well.

@NigelB72 and @Anonymous some Netflix shows are still good and I still use Netflix but im finding at times im using Disney+ a lot more and using my Amazon Firesticks more. Than I do the Youview box for apps.

I dont have Apple TV+ or Paramount+.

I do also have Prime.

I get Now direct from them. As I canceled BT TV over 14 months ago.

@ney some shows are good but they're sacrificing quality over quantity...

I agree.

This is the problem with many streaming platforms now, that constant need to deliver fresh content to make it feel worth a monthly subscription means that quality has definitely been sacrificed.

Disney+ has the same issue (plus a number of other issues in their so called creative department). The answer from their leadership? Make less content and put the price up... 🤔

Hi @NigelB72

According to the tariff sheet only the Entertainment package is available to existing customers without Netflix.
