To use Netflix, you'll need to have an account and pay for membership. There are three membership plans, graded by how many screens you can watch simultaneously, and what quality video you'll be able to watch. The plans are basic, standard, and premium. Once you've sorted membership, you can create sub-accounts within the account, allowing different members of your household to have their own account with its personal settings and history. If there are any children in the house, you'll be able to set up an account for them, limiting them to the series and movies available on the children's profile Netflix Kids.
You can then further soft limit them by age range, or by hard limit - a PIN number. These options alone are one of Netflix's best features. Using the app, to both play media and to change configuration settings like the kids' controls, is very easy.
They've deliberately kept the options to a minimum and, where there are options, they're very easy to see and change. Once you've started to play a title, you'll have program-specific features, like subtitles, language, and screen options available on the player interface itself. The player is naturally very minimalist, so as not to take away from what you're watching and, when the player is in full-screen mode, it's completely invisible.
When it comes to media variety, you'll be spoilt for choice. Sure, every Netflix instance has certain limitations in availability geographical regions have different options , but if you claim that you can't find anything to watch, you're really not looking hard enough!
Help for Netflix is fast and effective. There is a good help section and lots of third-party online resources, but as it is a paid service, traditional customer support will solve your issues quickly and professionally. This particular version is for Windows computers. You can also use Netflix online, and there are versions for Mac, iPhone, and Android. Insofar as a movie and TV hub that offers such variety and is accessible to many, many users, no - Netflix doesn't have many competitors.
Depending on where you are in the world, you may have other rival services, but they're smaller than Netflix and offer less variety. There has been talk of changes rival services joining forces which could change the outlook. For many users, Netflix is completely unrivaled and in many homes, completely replaces traditional TV. Offering great quality, it lets you take it with you on the move - even if you don't have any internet like on a flight, etc.
To resolve this issue, follow these steps: Make sure that you are using Windows Media Center on a computer that is running Windows 7. To do this, follow these steps: Click Start , and then click Control Panel. Click Clock, Language, and Region. Click Regional and Language. On the Administrative tab, click Copy settings. If the previous steps do not resolve the issue, try the following steps: Exit Windows Media Center.
Note Uninstalling third-party utilities may not always resolve the issue. To try to resolve this issue, follow these steps: Click Start , and then click Control Panel. It's not an app that sees frequent, regular updates, so if you're having trouble working Transcode from Windows 7, try this guide to getting it running. The nation's television entities have spent a lot of time and money making sure you recognize their corporate branding. You may as well put that subconscious recognition to use when browsing your TV listings from afar.
My Channel Logos does just what it sounds like, adding familiar icons to the left-hand channel column, making it easier to recognize and sort through what's on. If you were to ask us what's missing from Windows Media Center, we'd say, mainly, streaming media like Hulu and YouTube, and killer local file handling.
One smart and generous hacker has solved those deficiencies by making it easy to switch over to Hulu , Boxee , and XBMC right from WMC's main menu, and then switch back when you've closed those apps.
That creates a nearly seamless media experience, controlled entirely from the couch by remote. Between these four apps, you've got pretty much the entirety of TV and the web available whenever you want them. If you wanted commercials, you'd watch live TV. If you want them gone from your media center experience, and you don't mind the subtle karmic shift in doing so, there's apps to tackle that, both inside and outside WMC. Lifextender does a great job of automating commercial stripping, but hasn't been updated to run all that well in Windows 7 yet—or so our commenters have noted it should work fine for Vista and earlier Windows editions.
On the other hand, DVRMSToolbox is a stand-alone program, so those with Windows Media Center setups where getting outside the main media window isn't hard can bulk-strip their commercials. Used together, they can strip WMC's video files of their copy protection, kill commercials, and, most helpfully, convert those files to a format friendly to iPods and iPhones and patch them right into iTunes for syncing.
For a quick walk-through of the process, at least as it ran on an older WMC, check out Rick's guide. If all you're looking for is a way to see metadata and fancy graphics around your movies, Media Browser does the job beautifully, and it's oh-so-free. First of all the plugin loads the default profile when first opening the app. More importantly, when a video is selected to watch, I am prompted to select the profile and then given an error saying "Something's not quite right.
Please try that last step again. If I select cancel then I'm presented with the profile selection prompt again. I literally can't watch Netflix now through the plugin.
