If PayPal takes your card, they'll accept it through that.
Nope, PayPal does not accept them neither.
Maestro isn't a credit card, it's a debit card. Probably worth getting a decent credit card !

#132Now, I'm curious - is there any way I check what would be available in my specific country without signing up and starting a trial?
I want to be able to at least just do a few search queries to check if what I had watched recently is there or I shouldn't even bother and save that "free month" offer for later (because if there's nothing to watch it'd be wasted).

#134In europe we just get netflix lite, with old and uninteresting stuff sparkled with some original content and random rares. I hope someday we'll get this netflix you all talk about.
Most of what I watch these days on Netflix are their original programs, which I'm pretty sure is completely in line with their master plan.
That and TV shows that have completed their original run, of which they have a great collection.

instantwatcher.com shows what titles are available and let's you queue them up on Netflix if you have an account. Not sure if they have a regional filter yet.

#138In my experience, Netflix is horrid outside the US - a much more limited catalogue and a lot of mismatched foreign language content. I live in Jamaica and had subscribed to the version that was legitimately available to us w/o using a VPN or proxy or similar service. The result was twofold: - less content than on the US version (but the same price) - a whole lot of content available in overdubbed Spanish only or with…
> Guess they don't realize that south of the border there are countries that speak English (as well as French, Dutch and Portuguese). I was working in Italy for a bit although they had audio in English for most programs I wanted to watch, subtitles were only available in Italian. Again, it's all because of licensing...
it is about two things - licensing as well as market size.
in the case of the latter, big media companies just don't care about small markets, as the cost of operating them is greater than the potential profits realized.
in the case of the former, i work in media and you are absolutely right - media licensing is stuck in a 1985 model, which only serves to sustain a few middlemen kind of players, but in the bigger picture sucks for both consumers and the companies that own the content.
one particular result of this is that many people who can't legitimately get what the want (in terms of downloads, streams, etc.) will just pirate it, having tried unsuccessfully to do things the right way and been frustrated.

#139Now you can cancel your account worldwide!
Previously, the Netflix website did not work at all from outside of their regions. Want to cancel online? You cannot. Call them? Only if you are willing to pay for a overseas call. No email support, nothing.
I took these steps to cancel my account: 1) Open a Twitter account 2) Tweet about canceling my account 3) Send friend request (or whatever it is called) 4) Accept friend request 5) Send direct message 6) Receive a direct message with an email account 7) Send an email about cancelling my account
Cancel a Netflix account from overseas, all in 7 easy steps.
