They didn't say that. They just said they're aware and will pay more attention to it.

How can they tell which specific household each TV is streaming from? Can they see our address?

I ask because where i live we have 2 separate internet connections so that everyone has lots of bandwidth. So since one house can have 2 IP addresses, they cannot simply go by IP address alone.
They can easily do geolocation by IP. Two IPs from the same household wouldn't trigger a flag, but simultaneous streams in North Dakota and Vermont would raise a flag, for example.

This makes no sense.

You pay for x number of streams you can use x number of streams.

My account is used between two houses for a reason. If NF fucks with that I'm out.

I don't understand, I thought there were different plans for more screens

Either way, they must really be scraping for the bottom line if this is their attempt to grow more revenue

Seems kinda dumb, like what if someone has a job where they just screw around on a computer half the time and watch Netflix at work, would that flag a second location using the account and get them in trouble? Or if you're on a trip or whatever.

We gave someone an old smart bluray player a while ago and I think they are still using my Netflix account on it. >_>

If one dang show had to be so expensive Netflix would never recover despite multiple price hikes and miserly policies, couldn't it at least have been a better show than Friends?

P sure standard Netflix account lets you stream two devices at the same time

It should not matter where those two devices are located

Hulu only allows one to stream at a time but you can have 10 devices using it

yeah this is probably gonna bone me cuz i'm using my sister and brother-in-law's netflix and they live in another province.

i guess i can afford to get my own instead of splitting the cost of theirs with them, but it's still annoying to deal with

Netflix business model:

Raise prices, lose popular shows, restrict account sharing, put ads for their own shows between episodes

It's like a crash course in how to alienate customers and lose money in the long run.

This is the kind of thing they might have gotten away with a few years ago, but the streaming video market has gotten way more crowded lately.

Netflix is gonna Biden itself into obscurity if it keeps this up.

Meh... I gave my Netflix account to my brother a few years ago because I was ready to cancel when Hulu Live killed my desire to keep my Netflix account active (I was already sharing it with him anyway), and he wanted it. However, he still shares it with me and a couple friends.

A few months ago, I started sharing Hulu with my brother. If Netflix bans us, it just means giving Hulu more attention. >_>
