NetFlix Experience ... And Status Info

Surprised no one has commented yet on the “Choose Your NetFlix Experience” option when loading NetFlix. Finally. Some Parental Controls of sorts… Someone else discovered, too, that if you hit Options, you’ll see a status info in the upper left.

Nice. :smiley:

That ‘choose’ thing is a bit silly right now, and annoying. What prevents kids from just choosing the original? Somebody said the PS3 has had it for awhile, and that it eventually seemed to default to the most chosen.

it’s a nice decision to add the info. I like how it also show what audio and subtitles are being used too.

good find Tony!

People have been commenting on it, look on the official Netflix help page at getsatisfaction.com: https://getsatisfaction.com/netflixuk/topics

It will only appear for a set amount of time depending on whether you only choose to use one section.

If after about 20 sessions you only ever click on the “Netflix” option it will eventually skip the choice screen and log you straight into Netflix. Likewise, if you only ever choose the “Netflix Just for Kids” option it will eventually skip the choice screen and log you straight into “Netflix Just for Kids”. If you use both services then the choice screen will remain every time you start Netflix.
