Youtube

As we already wrote, at the beginning of January the long-awaited launch of the Netflix service took place in Russia and the CIS countries. And even though the subscription prices for one of the world’s most popular services for watching films and TV series are not the lowest, the creators of Netflix showed loyalty to users by giving them the opportunity to get full access to the service for one month completely free of charge.

Briefly about Netflix. Netflix is a super popular service for watching movies and TV series. Especially TV series. On Netflix, new episodes of all popular TV series are released simultaneously with the whole world, which gives service users the opportunity to not think about the need to specifically wait for broadcasts or connect to channels that show their favorite shows. And what’s even more pleasant is that everyone can watch movies and TV series Apple devices from iPhone to Apple TV.

Attention: Netflix has become supported in Russia and the CIS countries, however, very little content with Russian-language tracks has been seen on the service so far. Moreover, films and TV series do not yet have Russian subtitles.

Step 1: Go to the Netflix website and click on the link Start Your Free Month

Step 2: Select the appropriate plan and click Continue

Step 3. Enter your mailing address, enter your password and click Register

Step 4. Select payment type. Please note that money for subscription will not be withdrawn from your account, but please indicate the type of payment ( credit card or PayPal) is required to start your free month of Netflix.

Step 5: Confirm your registration and selected plan by clicking Start Membership

Step 6. Specify the devices on which you plan to watch movies and TV series

Step 7. Select your three favorite TV series or movies - this is necessary for Netflix to offer you suitable content. Registration process is over

Step 9. On the page that opens, click Cancel Membership and confirm the cancellation. The ability to use Netflix for a month for free is here to stay

Hello IdeaFox friends!

I don’t feel like bringing up blogging topics today, so I decided to take a break from the endless poking around search engines and the bowels of WordPress. I didn’t really do anything during the holidays, just watched movies and rested a lot. Of course, I indulged in the sin of devouring TV series =)

You yourself know that in Lately Russia is waging a zealous fight against pirated sites that host unlicensed videos. Let's face it, it's getting harder and harder for freeloaders to find the movie they want.

And then I found out that a giant of the global video rental market called NetFlix.Com has become available in Russia. It entered the Russian market just yesterday, January 6th.

Of course, I immediately decided to test it to understand how much I needed it. At the same time, I decided to compare it with the Amediateka service, which I became a subscriber about a year and a half ago (de facto, this Russian analogue Netflix).

Why are competitors afraid of NetFlix? Yes, because it is a huge business machine that operates in 130 countries and has a subscriber base of 50 million people. Naturally, Russian cinemas tensed up in anticipation of this monster.

And so, he came to us =)

What is NetFlix?

In essence, this is an online cinema. Pay a small monthly subscription fee and watch movies and TV shows on high quality. Looking ahead, I’ll say that there’s just a ton of films and TV series on NetFlix.Com + They give you one month of testing free of charge.

I repeat that “Amediateka” works exactly according to the same scheme.

How much does Netflix cost?

On this moment the rates are as follows:

If we increase each tariff by one marketing cent, we get 8, 10, 12 euros per month. If we convert into rubles, at the rate of 1 euro = 81 rubles, we get:

Basic plan = 648 rubles
Standard plan = 881 rubles
Premium plan = 972 rubles

I will say frankly that not all Russians will be delighted with such tariffs. But if you compare it with the price of a ticket in a regular cinema, then everyone will understand that it is very cheap.

By the way, why are prices in euros and not rubles? It’s inconvenient because you have to convert prices into our currency.

How to get a month of a month on NetFlix for free?

But there is also good news– when you subscribe, you get one month free on any tariff. (Immediately a big plus in favor of NetFlix, since Amediatek does not yet have such a bonus).

You get a free month immediately when you subscribe.

1. On home page service, click the big red button “Start Your Free Month”:

2. Select the desired tariff

I decided to test the “Basic” tariff for 8 euros.

By the way, please note that for now everything is in English. It's sad because going out Russian market with an English interface - a VERY strange solution.

And again a strange decision. Imagine our person who wants to get a free month, and he is immediately asked to enter his details bank card or the PayPal service, unknown to many.

There’s nothing to guess here - most of our people will leave the registration as soon as they see the requirement to fill out the subscription details. In addition, in English, yeah =)

But I still decided to break through to Netflix, since I became very curious

I subscribed via PayPal (I think that very few people in Russia have any idea what this is payment system like this).

By the way, here you need to understand that by choosing any of these payment methods you are registering MONTHLY subscription. That is, every subsequent month after the free month, NetFlix will charge 8, 10, 12 euros from the card, depending on the chosen tariff. And if you don’t like this service, you will need to cancel your subscription in your account settings.

For example, PayPal honestly warned that a monthly subscription would be issued:

After making the payment, we check the tariff settings again, check the box in which we confirm that we are over 18 years old (curious, why?).

And click on the “Start Membership” button

Then we choose what we will watch movies and TV series on. I chose computer (DescTop or LapTop)

And... again an incomprehensible window appeared =) Something was too clever...

Here they ask you to enter my name. How to contact me.

Okay, let them call me Dmitry. To be honest, I’m already tired of entering my data.

And... ANOTHER WINDOW awaits us, in which we need to choose the series that we like.

Just choose three series that you like. Apparently, based on your choice, they will build a grid of viewer preferences.

That's it, we broke through =)

Well, maybe TV series with Russian voice acting?

I tried several series at random - nothing like this. As of January 7, 2016, there is no Russian voice acting for most films and TV series.

For example, I was able to discover Russian voice acting for the series “Better Call Saul”

How to choose Russian?

While watching the series, you need to do as in the picture below:

And you will be happy if there is Russian voice acting there =) Unfortunately, it is not available for every film.

What are the advantages of NetFlix?

There are a huge number of TV series that we don’t even know about. I'm serious - my eyes widen from such abundance.
Picture quality – no complaints at all, even at the cheapest tariff.
I didn’t notice any brakes at a speed of 8 megabits/sec.
If there is Russian voice acting, then it is done at a very good level.
Eat mobile application+ software for TV set-top boxes + XBOX + PlayStation + Apple TV

Cons for Russia

I repeat that entering the Russian video rental market with an English interface is a very strange decision. We can only hope that soon the site will at least be translated into Russian.
Today, few TV series and films have been translated into Russian. Sorting or filtering films that have already been translated into Russian will not hurt at all. Even in the profile settings there is no option to select the Russian language.
Quite confusing registration (and again there is no Russian language).
Few payment methods. De facto, there is only Visa, since most Russians are not aware of PayPal at all. Ideally, you need to add Yandex.Money + WebMoney + SberbankOnline.

My verdict

In my opinion, NetFlix was hasty in entering our market. Already in the first steps of registering for the service, a bunch of questions arise that can only be resolved by knowing the English language. Well, there are some gaps in the voice acting, to be honest.

It turns out that today Netflix is useful only to those who know English (or want to learn it by watching films in a foreign language). To be honest, all this looks more like an emergency launch, since they didn’t meet the deadlines, but they needed to launch.

I'll watch it for another month and most likely cancel my subscription if the situation with translations doesn't change for the better.

And to be honest, our video rental services don’t have to worry at all for now. But if everything is finished and translated, then competitors’ marketers will be running around trying to survive in competition with NetFlix =)

This is not a joke, since a truly WORLD leader has appeared in Russia, who will not stand on ceremony with smaller players.

I was glad that I could now watch any films and TV series in 4K quality, so I went to register,

they seem to promise a month free

Yeah, we know this trick. I can’t stand this fucking American system.
iTunes, Microsoft, GooglePlay, Adobe - are almost completely switching to subscription methods of taking away money.

If in the case of the first it is perhaps convenient and I am ready to pay 150-200 rubles a month for a music library, then I refuse to give cosmic money for the opportunity to use Photoshop once a month.

and the worst thing is that everything is done quietly, for a fool. You signed up for a free month. I entered my card details and they silently started withdrawing money. And to unsubscribe, you need to jump with a tambourine.

so in this case, again personal data, credit card. Well, yeah, a fic with him, I'll have to try it.

And the prices are stinging.

for UHD content you will have to pay as much as 12 euros! Holy shit. This is clearly not for poor Russia.

But the saddest thing is that there is no content either. I couldn't find a single film in Russian.
Same thing with 4K. The maximum is a shitty 1080.

Maybe I'm missing something? Has anyone tried it?

By the way, I found how to unsubscribe. We'll see in a month if it worked.

Today I went back to the app on my TV and lo and behold!

A whole UltraHD section has appeared

It definitely wasn’t there before. I can assume that the program has been updated, or Netflix itself measures the channel speed and, in the absence of the required 25 Mb/s, limits the content.

I looked up what was suggested - mostly TV series, even TWO in Russian: BlackList and Under the Dome.

But the problem with quality is that 4K doesn’t even smell. So bad HD. Some kind of grain and soap in the background.

Many 1080 films look better there.
Maybe my TV is outdated? Or is it again a matter of speed?
Although I measured it, 50 MB was stable at that moment.

In general, it’s still very damp and vulgar.

A popular streaming service is already in Russia, let’s figure out what’s what.

As previously reported, Netflix expanded its geography and is now officially available in Russia and the CIS countries. Unfortunately, by the date the service was launched in Russia, the interface had not been translated from in English, this may alienate some of the potential audience. From positive points It should be noted that there is a free trial month.

How to start using Netflix

To register for the service you will need:

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch with iOS 7.0 and later or a computer (you can register on Apple TV, but note that you will have to enter a large number of data, and doing it on the console remote control is still a pleasure);
availability of funds to renew your subscription on your Apple ID or connected to Apple ID bank card or PayPal account (in any case, you need to have in your account the amount for a monthly payment for the selected tariff plan, as was the case when registering with Apple Music);
5 minutes time.

The registration procedure consists of the following steps:

We go to the service website when registering via a computer or download the application from App Store.
We begin registration by pressing the button » Start Your Free Month».
Choose the one you like tariff plan(fees for it will begin to be charged after one calendar month).
We indicate a valid address Email and come up with a password, do not forget to refuse mailing list and confirm the fact of your 18th birthday.
When registering from an iPhone or iPad, enter your Apple ID password, agreeing to a trial month and subscription to the selected tariff plan (hereinafter referred to as the amount subscription fee will be charged from your Apple ID account).

We select three favorite TV series or films (another collection of statistics, in the future they will offer similar content).
Hooray! We signed up for Netflix.

**How to turn off Netflix auto-renewal* **

Attention! Don't forget to turn it off automatic renewal subscriptions. It’s better to do this right away, and if you like the service, turn on the subscription at the end of the trial month. Disabling it only takes a minute, but it can save you from unnecessary expenses in a month. Doing this is as simple as unsubscribing from Apple Music.

Let's go to Settings - App Store, iTunes Store and click on your account Apple entry ID.
Choose View Apple ID(enter your password), find the section Subscriptions and press Manage.
Specify subscription Netflix and turn it off Auto-renewal.

Then everything is simple, we look for content through a search or from the catalog and start viewing. Unfortunately, there are still very few films and TV series with Russian dubbing, but they do exist. For example, you can watch one of the best TV series of 2015 in your native language.

How to switch audio and subtitle language

The presence of a translation is not indicated in any way on the poster or in the menu; you have to check everything yourself. To switch the language of voice acting or subtitles (if present), click the button in the upper right corner and select the desired item.

Let’s start using the service, share our impressions and wait for our full review.

On Netflix, like any other popular video service, everything is designed so that you do not leave the site for as long as possible. And one of the traditional ways to keep you engaged is by autoplaying so-called additional content.

And since this is usually the next part of a film, episode of a series or new release the same TV program or show, then they think , you should definitely like this kind of content. And therefore they will certainly start showing it to you after the completion of any film or series.

And no one cares whether you need it or not. The main thing is that there is still money left in your account.

In this regard, we will tell you how to disable autoplay additional video on Netflix (from PC, smartphone, tablet or ).

How to disable autoplay videos on Netflix

Let’s say right away that if you watch Netflix from a smart TV, then you will be looking for a very long time to find the button to disable autoplay in the settings. And most likely you won't find it. For the simple reason that it is located in your account settings, and access to them is not available on all devices.

Therefore, before you disable autoplay of videos on your TV, you first need to go to the Netflix website from your computer or mobile device and tweak your account settings.

Let's go in. Opening menu (the button is in the upper right corner of the screen), click on it Account , further in the section My Profile (below) click on the link “ Playback settings ". In the next window we find the indicator “ Auto-Play", uncheck the checkbox " " and press the button " Save «.

The setting is automatically saved for all devices from which you watch Netflix, and which are “linked” to the account whose settings you just changed. Moreover, instantly. So there is no need to reboot (log out/log in) your account on Smart TV.

But the “trouble” is that this method turns off only one autoplay option, i.e. scrolling through the next episode of a program or movie series. But instead of them, Netflix enthusiastically begins to play other content, and there is simply nothing to stop this disgrace, since the corresponding option is not provided in the settings.

how to disable autoplay video in children's Netflix profile

Until recently, disabling autoplay in settings was only it was impossible, since in “Kids”, for obvious reasons, the ability to change settings was not initially allowed (there are almost no settings at all). But now it is allowed.

Therefore, if you need to turn off autoplay of the next episode of a movie or cartoon in the Netflix profile for children, then you simply open profile "Kids" on the website, go to the menu, click Account , then - Playback Settings , disable (uncheck) the option “ Play next episode automatically » and save the changes with the button Save . However, do not forget that a child can turn everything back on just as easily and at any time.
