Playon supports Netflix Canada (BETA)
The latest version of Playon now supports Netflix Canada accounts. Seems to work, now I just need to get more HP in my server to transcode Netflix on the fly.

Yep, just installed it and tried it out today, seems to work so far. Not too shabby! Hope the selection grows quickly. Don't mind paying if the selection starts growing substantially.

I just installed PlayOn tonight and with my new NetFlix account, I'm browsing Sage and flipping through shows! Nice one guys!!!

The only thing that I don't like at this moment is the folder structure when browsing series, movies, etc... (ie A-C, D-F, etc...).

But this rocks for watching Netflix on my HTPC!

SO glad to get NF here in Canada!

I suspended my Netflix account Thursday. I was going to wait for A) selection to improve, B) confirmation that the plug-in is working this side of the border.

I've got B) now.... will check back on the Netflix selection around the holidays.

I'm not familiar with PlayOn. Is it free? And what exactly is it?

If you want Netflix on SageTV you need PlayOn. There is a cost, one time or annual - see the PlayOn website for details. There is a free 14-day trial. Netflix is free for the first month so you can try the whole thing out.

PlayOn is software you run on your SageTV server to transcode Netflix (and other) so SageTV extenders like the HD200/HD300 can view using the plugin 'PlayOn for SageTV' available in the SageTV Plugin manager.

This setup works with Netflix Canada. I use it. A faster CPU allows for better video quality. I would call the video quality comparable to DVD.

Nothing has changed. Once again, I just browsed through the entire library in about 10 minutes. I think I saw a few things I'd watch. That might get me through the 30 day trial. Very disappointing.

Update - a new version was released that fixed the problme - I believe an update is necessary.
