House of Cards is missing in Netflix PH.

Been a Netflix subscriber for over a year now. Launching Netflix here in the Philippines, (and also to 129 other countries) is great. Now I can watch Netflix on mobile data.

For new users, you might want to invest on a cheap SmartDNS or VPN service so you can switch Netflix content from other regions. Your new Netflix bestfriend will be flixlist.com where you can search Netflix's database on what region your desired movie/tv show is on. Don't worry you won't get in trouble for it and no need to create a US account, or an EU account to access other regions. It's not like PSN wherein you need a US account to access the US store.

Netflix and Chill now becomes relevant in the Philippines.

Just tried out the 30 day trial. Required ang Credit Card or PayPal. Pwede din I cancel before matapos yung trial to avoid charges.

This is awesome. Kamusta naman ang library natin dito?

[grayfox17]

i'll get this if tabing ilog gets a re-run

[Tibarn]

...need ba ng mabilis na internet dito? or para din tong skycable?

93% daw ng library ng US ay wala sa PH version, buti nalang andito yung jessica jones,

[Tibarn]

...di pwede sa bahay, 5mbps need sa HD streaming. 1mbps lang connection namin.

I think that will improve over time, kasi kailangan din nila bayaran rights to stream the shows for different regions eh. But yeah, this is unfortunate and ultimately why I'll hold off for now.

I think yung solution is to look at VPN services gaya ng sabi ni adams_song.

Problem is dahil nauna na yung iflix and yung hooq, malamang nakuha nila exclusive rights to a bunch of shows that netflix could have had.

[deathzero23]

nako may Netflix na. Not bad for a premium price kung ang bisyo mo lang ay manood nang manood.
kawawa naman iFlix (owned by Smart i believe) may kalaban sila hahaha

[adams_song182]

Yung Hooq kailangan nang mawala yan. Hindi naman maganda ang service. I have a 60 day trial, pero minsan ko lang gamitin because of mediocre service & the selection isn't that good.

I've had Netflix for quite a while now. I've been using a DNS service that bypasses region blocking. I don't believe the 93% content bit. I actually prefer the content for the Philippines. The problem with those who sees Netflix for the first time is the front page doesn't show all the content. You need to do some searching. US content for the past few months have been mostly B-tier movies. The blockbuster ones are old and new content have been pretty much stale for the last two years. The advantage of US content would be regarding series especially for old ones. When logging in to the Philippines region, I lost most of the old TV series I have in my list such as Quantum Leap, Airwolf, MacGyver, Star Trek and some others. On the other hand, my wife got to keep most of the content on her list. Suwerte niya.

I've got a 3Mbps Internet connection from PLDT and can stream 720p content. It looks good already. Even 480p looks great. My TV is 43". Also, it is highly recommended by me to have a 112 IP address instead of 49 for DSL copper lines. It works still but you get a more consistent HD stream if you have a 112 IP. This is something I've monitored for more than month now and even have an existing trouble ticket with PLDT about it.

I forgot to mention that if you have a 3DTV, use the PS3 to watch. The PS3 Netflix app supports 3D for movies available in 3D.

I availed HOOQ simply because I don't have that high internet speed.
gladly i got a free Chrome Cast via my current internet provider.
I don't have cable tv currently sa house na tinitirhan ko so okay lang.

Currently watching Flash season 1.

Subscribed ako ngayon sa iflix, hooq and netflix.

Bagung subscribe lang ako sa hooq and netflix. So far, imo pinaka maganda ang library ng Hooq. Ang dami kasi mga 80s and 90s classic pinoy movies ie shake rattle and roll, reagal shocker, isang araw walang diyos, oh my mama, etc. Marami-rami din mga 80s/ 90s pinoy R Rated movies.

Mas marami din Hollywood/american movies at "parang" halos lahat ng nasa iflix nasa HooQ din. Kaya lang ako mag rrenew ng subscription iflix eh dahil sa mga TV series niya ie Friends, Lost(hanggang season 3 lang sa Hooq), big bang theory, How i met your mother at parang mas ok yung quality ng videos niya at mas mababa dL size.

Sa netflix naman marami akung movies na gusto ie pulp fiction, killbill,shutter, the conjuring, 80s and 90s batman, etc kaso ang mahal ng monthly... 460 para sa HD vs 99/129(iflix) and tapos Hindi pa pwede mag dL ng movies para pwede manood offline.

Ang ayaw ko lang sa HooQ eh ang laki nung dL size tapos hindi pa ganun kaganda quality. Ang bagal pa mag dL! madalas din nag offline mag isa pag nag ddL ka kaya bigla nalang na nag stop yung dL mo. Wala din add to favorites kaya kailangan mo ng papel para masulat mo mga movies na gusto mo mapanuod habang nag bbrowse ka.

[alex042795]

okay din pala to, tinry ko manuod sa phone ko, kaya naman ng 3Mbps na internet ko

You also have to consider that Netflix has options for HD while Iflix doesn't. I'm not sure with HOOQ. Pair that with a good streaming device and sound system and you also get 5.1 audio and sometimes 3D if your streaming device supports it. Netflix also has original content. Plenty of it actually that you will not find in any other service much like how HBO makes content. This begs the question though that why isn't House of Cards not in the Philippine region? It is pretty much the flagship content of Netflix and the one first one if I recall correctly (saw it when it first came out) followed by Orange is the New Black.

Still, even if Netflix is already supported here, I'll gladly use a DNS service to allow me to change regions. I currently use Unblock-US. Before I was using Tunlr since it is free but they closed down. I think they are coming back but with a fee. There is another DNS service that is free but they do not the API to update the IP automatically from dynamicDNS services on the router.

Napansin ko lang din... US region streams faster for some reason. Hahaha!

[adams_song182]

What's also great with Netflix is that it's easily available on different platforms. Computers, mobile devices, video game consoles (except for PS TV), Smart TVs can access Netflix's services.

If House of Cards isn't available in other SEA territories, then I'm guessing the show's not available on their Netflix SEA catalog because it is available on cable TV on Channel RTL-CBS Entertainment.

[NinjaLooter]

It's pretty much confirmed. I'll be keeping Unblock-US, not because of the content but because of the stupid throttling PLDT uses. I just switched to US and I'm getting consistent HD stream quality.
