Saw this and its a smart move. Tbh having netflix has cut down my downloading to more or less nothing as I always have something to watch.

Definitely makes sense. I can go home and watch Breaking Bad now on netflix, rather than ... not being able to before they picked it up.

Still light years behind US air dates and such a small choice of shows!
Re: News - Netflix checks torrent popularity to help choose what shows to buy
Breaking bad has bucked the trend though... its shown 1 hour after the US version has aired , pretty amazing! Love netflix and hope they keep going strong in pushing for very quick releases and pick up the series that networks drop for no reason!.

It's worth paying an extra few notes to someone like unblock-us.com so you can get the US version. The selection is far larger!

Or just install the Hola Unblocker extension for Chrome, then you can get the content for any region you like :)

But that's no good if you're using Netflix on your TV or through a smart device.
Re: News - Netflix checks torrent popularity to help choose what shows to buy
I love Netflix, more content to watch on there than I will be able to consume so I'm very happy with it. I use unblock-us to access the American content but after using Netflix for more than a year now I am finding the UK content to be much improved, at least in the movie department. There are loads of quality movies available in the UK that you can't get in the US like The Cable Guy. Unfortunately the UK doesn't get any Discovery or National Geographic documentaries which annoys me, they've obviously decided it is not worth their effort to provide it. We also get the short end of the stick with TV Series but strangely the new My List feature of the site is not present when I browse the American content, not sure why because the profiles are there.
