Netflix in Peru and it is lame…

5 Comments

I have been waiting for months to have a decent, legit source of movies and TV shows available for online streaming.  So here is my review after several hours of watching, searching and generally being disappointed.  However, it is free for 30 days!

  • Cost?  USD$7.99 per month, billable to a Visa or Mastercard only, no American Express.
  • How is the service?  Great, even with my crappy internet connection I am able to stream content without buffering.
  • Is it flexible?  No, not really.  You can not stream through an Xbox like you can in the States.  Another option: The Wii, however, the picture quality is less than optimal.   The other options are using a PS3, or an internet enable HDTV, which I believe they support one model. Mobile devices are also not supported at this time.
  • How is the library?  To be honest, LAME!  There are NO new releases, hardly any TV shows and the shows that are advertised aren’t actually available?!?!?  Season 1-6 of The Office, wrong… only seasons 1 and 2 are partially available.  A lot of the movies are dubbed in Spanish and  have no options to allow for subtitles or secondary audio channels.
  • What is it good for?  Watching old movies from the 80′s and 90′s as well as limited selection of Latin American Novelas and a few movies, but mostly from the 70′s and 80′s.

Still interested in a 30day trial, here is a link:  https://signup.netflix.com/

    I used it on US so I try to get a new user but it did’t accept it. So I don’t have the 30 free days and also as I have a sony bdp-s770 blue ray it don’t work with it, only say with pc or wii. Is stupid! I subscribed the same first day and it didn’t work and the customer service phone didn’t work. I tried to cancel it but they said I will be charged anyway

    Sorry to hear that. I am still trying the service, but there is not much to choose from. The website has many issues and the customer service is not nearly as good as it should be.

    hehe update your blog with this NETFLIX IN PERU is great! the only thing you should do in any of the devices you use wii ps3 or xbox 360 ( i recommend the last one with the kinect movie search engine) is CHANGE the DNS not the IP only the DNS of peru with a DNS of USA and when you log with your sudamerican account it opens ALL the USA movie library with plenty of movies ,series and for me a lot of animes like all afro samurai series and more !=)

    I will write a new post to explain why what you have posted is not accurate and relies on an exploit of a paid service to achieve. My post is not called hacking netflix, it is Netflix in Peru sucks and still does. You might not understand the difference between DNS and DHCP.
