Netflix adjusts to whatever region you're in, so getting "US Netflix" isn't going to work for your parents. You're going to need to set them up with something like www.unlocator.com which can spoof their region. Once they turn it on it will open up a lot of titles with their existing Netflix account.
- ZoF 12y agoI thought that was implied by his statement.
- Patrick_Devine 12y agoI read it as they wanted a "US Netflix account" which is really no different than having a "UK" or "Canadian" Netflix account. Netflix doesn't make the distinction between where the account is, only where your IP address is located. This is in contrast to a company like Amazon where purchasing something from amazon.ca or amazon.co.uk is much different than buying from amazon.com. I'm not sure how this effects watching Prime when you're traveling, though, and if it's also IP based. At any rate, I don't think the implication is obvious.
- kapilvt 12y agoamz is ip biased, as is google. apple is the only content provider i've found that works traveling abroad (minus vpns/tunnels) as they associate content to account based on cc billing address (though they have terms to indicate otherwise).
