Rules:
Netflix said the same and got cold feet. I'm still sharing my account. Wonder if Disney will go through with it.
Netflix absolutely enforced this in the US last year. I was sharing an account with my sister and we started getting notices about choosing a "home base" for our devices so Netflix could register it on their side to enforce if anyone outside of that initial IP began leveraging it.
I see, well still no issues in Canada. The day it happens is the day I cancel.
So what if you travel, can you not stream from a hotel since it's a different IP address?
You can, as long as you check in that device at the "home base" with your other devices every 30 days. At least that's what I remember from the fuzzy details.
We unsubscribed when it happened, only recently subbed again to watch some stuff, but I think we'll pause again since we're all caught up.
I don’t know about Netflix, but last time I tried, YouTube TV let you stream from not your “home” for like a week at a time
Netflix is every 30 days the device has to be connecting from the home IP.
My solution to this would be:
My family got several of those notices. One time me and my sister were not able to watch anything using my mother's account. We stopped using Netflix altogether but a few weeks later my wife opened the app and we were able to use it without any issues. I still see the option to pay for "sharing" or whatever it's called but we don't have it enabled
Can confirm Netflix enforcing in US, I cancelled same day I got the prompt
