NetFlix, iPad/iPhone Trindad...

Let me start off by saying that Netflix is now available in Trinidad. I am not happy, not happy at all. I am so unhappy, I must be living before my time...
So, we here in Trinidad now have Netflix, and if you are less than 7 years old then you can be happy, because as far as i see, there's a lot of content for the kids.
OK, that is one good, but for me, 40% of it is not there.  It's a good thing that I like looking at older movies, because a good bit of them are there. But let's move on from that and get to the point at hand.

Netflix: the app, is free and it is a small download
So you the normal thing when you download your apps, you sort...
Nice, all is going well...
let's open her up...
Spanish...? Hopefully, they will let me change this, or it may just be the LogIn...
After log in
Very nice English... :)
So let's see my listing for F&F
 You know I'm mad now.  So, where's the other two from my US account?  Note, this is how I found out abut the missing content, I really did not think it was going to be this bad. This is the point where I started looking to see what there was for the kids, and I was 70% happy with it, so in my mind, okay, they can use it on the new Apple tv when it gets here..
So let me see how things are looking.
What the hell...
NO really
What the hell...
Clearly I am missing something...
Yes???
I must, right?
So I'm pulling out the iPhone at this point ...


The same thing...
So what?
Tell me...
Waits on Apple TV
and Back to Boxee...
We will continue this later...
 and if you still don't know why I am vex, let me spell it out for you.

  1. first thing... you should really re-read what you type before you post.. even for speaking "trini" your English is horrible. second thing.. you didn't tell us what firmware you are on. Maybe it is telling you you need to update your firmware because you need to update your firmware.. lol..

  4. I have three kids here, tv is very important, I think that I was just really really happy to have this, without having to jump hoops to access content, but this fail big for me and my household, noone uses the desktops at home but me now. iPad and iPhone are really at home here.
    Thanks nigel for the comments, and I can't use it lol

  5. Love the way you handled the criticism with humility. I think Netflix needs to treat us a little better. We are paying the exact same as US customers.

  6. :) every step in life is a stepping stone, you choose if it is up or down... he was right in what he said, no fight down here...

    but it is free now, if i am going to have to pay for this, more so, knowing how the US version is. i will not pay for this. I will try it for the kids, but school started, so there is less TV. So... Time will tell...
