Netflix Channel 333

I just noticed there is a Netflix Channel on 333 on my bttv box. It looks like it is just a loop advertising Netflix made shows. Why is it on there?

To advertise Netflix and show what content is available, you can also signup through the channel to start a Netflix subscription.

Launching the Netflix player without an account shows nothing, only a signup page, so having a channel to advertise can help customers decide, no doubt it'll also be used to showcase new content.

Thanks for the find. Never knew that channel was on there. 

I have Netflix and watch Netflix at lest 4 times a week. I do share the Netflix monthly fee with my sister for 2 screens plus HD.

Also as of almost 11 days ago now also have Amazon Prime and I been waching some stuff on that.

I though I would try and check out Netflix again today because of this new channel 333 - just to see if any changes have been made to the issues I raised in the post here: YouView NetFlix Problem and no this problem has still not been fixed - on the plus size at least I can use Amazon Prime now without the issues i raised. I was told by someone at BT that this issue had been flagged and was a due for a fix very soon - this was probably more than a year ago now - shame. I also had another user recreate this issue and confirm it. I guess most people just don't notice the drop in quality after watching Netflix or it doesn't effect all boxes however I suspect it is the former.
