Well i knew it had to happen, Smartflix is no longer free so it's time to figure out if I want to pay for it or another similar product.
Firstly Australian FTA TV is mostly rubbish and I like my TV so I found out the price of Smartflix and two of it's competitors.
SmartFlix $3.99 USD per month or $39.90 one-year prepaid - https://www.smartflix.io/
uFlix $2.75 AUD per month or $27.50 AUD per year - https://uflix.com.au/pricing/
getflix $3.95 USD per month or $33.18 USD per year - http://www.getflix.com.au/pricing
There may be more, let me know
On the VPN side:
I have a paid VPN service, PIA and can at the moment play US Netflix content. I am concerned with my ability to continue doing so because of comments like the ones below.
Netflix said it was going to declare war on users that took advantage of VPN services and DNS hacks to gain access to the US library,
"Services like Private Internet Access, ExpressVPN, Mullvad and more stopped allowing access to US Netflix in the last week as the company blocked them and users aren’t happy." from Reddit
So my question for discussion is what's everyone doing and how's it going.
If geo unblocking stops working maybe Stan would be a better option as reported by the SMH in this article
