5. QUESTION:
   How can I use a proxy server to view movies on netflix.com from overseas?
   I’m currently stationed in Germany (US Army) and want to watch videos using netflix.com. the only problem is that when I go to their website it tells me I can’t from overseas. I tried using those port hole websites (proxy servers) but when I do it says that my java and activeX are not enabled. Any ideas on what to do?

   • ANSWER:
     I use these 3 sites, they all work for anything. Many of the proxies posted on here have alot of popups or anoying adware and the displayed website is all messed up. This proxy shows the webpage as is, the only ads are on the main page (they are quite useful for finding other proxies)

9. QUESTION:
   How do i activate a computer on Netflix.com?
   my computer got deactivated and i am having trouble reactivating it. Anyone know how?

   • ANSWER:
     What do you mean “deactivated”? I’ve had Netflix for years and all I do is go to the home website and log in. You may need to reinstall the viewer software if it won’t play movies. Click the “remember me on this computer” box when you log in so you don’t have to keep typing your password..

10. QUESTION:
    why does att.com still come up when i type in netflix.com, even when i am registered for the netflix service?
    I am in a temporary lodging hotel, Ethernet cable line, unlimited Internet access. Does any of that really matter?
    It’s like at&t owns the site now with no link or trace to Netflix.

      It sounds like Att is the hotel’s internet provider, so you have to enter in a password to access the internet first before you can browse the web. You might want to call teh front desk for help.

13. QUESTION:
    I bought a Option Call Call-Netflix Com Inc Aug 110 price, Can I sell it before the 110$ price?
    It is at 107$ now, I think I would be making money at this price also, but is there a limitation on the strike price that I bought it? do I have to wait until it reaches to 110$ price?
    Thank you

    • ANSWER:
      You can sell your call options at anytime prior to expiration whether or not its strike price is met. If you bought those Aug110Calls out of the money and it is now in profit, you should sell it quick for the profit before time decay steepens and take those profit away.

    • ANSWER:
      We have dumped the cable and we use the Net and other viewing venues as well. later on this year you will see the convergence of many of the Media Players and Network Media Tanks as soon as they find a way to get a few dollars for ads then it will bust open. Look at all the players and what they are offering so yes we have as well a 119,000 Comcast dumped in the third quarter they are waiting for the numbers for the forth and that will tip the tide even more.

    with the new xbox dashboard (NXE) and it allowing you to stream movies instantly, im thinking of getting rid of cable. is the amount of streamed media a large amount, or is it not even worth getting?
    the two answers ive gotten so far are great answers. both very detailed. thanks! is the a month

    • ANSWER:
      I’ve been using the Watch Instantly for about a year and I love it. Provided you have a fast internet connection, the video quality is pretty good.

      Netflix just recently entered into an agreement with STARZ to stream their library which means they have some pretty recent movies like Superbad, Ratatouille, Meet the Robinsons, No Country for Old Men, Surf’s Up, Gone Baby Gone, The Illusionist, Walk Hard, and others. But the vast majority of the watch instant titles are older and/or B movies.

      The do have a number of television series. And the even have the current episodes of Heroes just a day or two after it first airs on TV.

      EDIT
      The is to purchase the Roku player which streams the movies directly to your TV. The functionality is already built into the XBox you’re looking at. I purchased two of those Roku players so I could have one for my bedroom and one for my living room.

      If you already have a Neflix unlimited plan, then the watch instantly is no additional charge. By unlimited, I mean there is no limit to the number of movies you can get in a month, regardless of how many you can have at one time.

23. QUESTION:

29. QUESTION:
    Does Netflix offer all the movies on netflix.com to users of Netflix through Xbox Live?

    • ANSWER:
      All movies except any made by:

      Columbia Pictures Entertainment
      and
      Sony Pictures Entertainment

      I’m sure you know why..

      Columbia Pictures Entertainment is the subsidiary to Sony Pictures Entertainment. Once Sony heard that Live was getting Netflix, they restricted all movies made by Columbia and Sony Pictures on Netflix for Xbox 360 only.

      Anyone who says, “yeah you can watch all the movies in the world! Netflix is awesome on Live!,” is lying. They’re just ignorant fan boys.
