How to stream netflix in Canada

I 100% agree – same goes for Hulu and Google Voice. Innovative new services that are (and will remain) dark in Canada thanks to antiquated, crippling legislation.

What exactly does the CRTC or legislation have to do with it? Since when does the CRTC regulate foreign internet sites?

I would like to recommend DVDLink.ca as the premier online DVD place in all of Canada. Their price range is the most affordable among all of the online businesses here. 19.99 per month and a two week free trial is a big plus. They have over 25000 titles of Movies plus 1500 Blurays and over 1500 Games.

Best thing i like is you can get both Movies and Games at same time. Before this I was having two account with two different companies, One for Movies and One for Games, Now I enjoy both things with DVDLink.

I have been a member of DVDLink for over one year and have been more than happy with their level of service to me personally. Most places just send out an email. The guys at DVDLink actually CALL you to see how things are. More importantly is the turn around time.
Even though headquartered in Vancouver I recieve movies here in Halifax within 3 days at latest.

If anyone wants to take a chance on a Canadian web-rental company. This is the one to take your chance on.

I have a belly button hahaha

I got fed up with paying $100 a month to watch a bunch of crap stuffed with 50% commercials anyway… looking at some different alternative ways to get some media on my ps3, the only thing I am really missing is some sports action any good ideas there?

Curious about the list of requirements. Does the streaming service know where you are via the location of the proxy server? So, for example, if I get a Netflix uSA account, but am in Montreal, will it work, or do I need a USA ISP too?

I am so fed up with paying $60 in order to get the 2 channels I watch regularly.

Well that's a great question.

Two things:

1) The frustration stems from CRTC spending inordinate effort and fuss arbitrating like some overwhelmed flusterpated nanny the bickering or cable co's and broadcasters over a previous century's video distribution model. The world has moved on. If, instead, the CRTC was putting it's energies into creating some mandate for itself that actually makes any sense in converged world of the unlimited scale and distribution potential of teh internet, I think that would be a better idea.

Instead we'e subjected to this theatre of the absurd of parsing the wildly out of date regulatory frameworks of the 80-s era broadcast act to prop-up and preserve the dead business models and artificial content monopolies of “Canadian” broadcasters and cablecos.

Then again the CRTC chair KVF himself has come out and begged Ottawa for any kind of national digital strategy, that might actually give the CRTC some kind of ability to foster production of and accessibility of Canadian culture and connectivity in general in a post-analog world.

(fyi: Right now, the CRTC does regulate foreign content by regulating minimum cancon requirements – the futility of which in an internet-connected world is staggering)

2. Ironically, I posted this the day before Rogers launched Rogers Online On Demand (aka. #rodo or rogers-hulu) which actually feels like a big step in the right direction. If only they had any content on it.

for those that want to stream things like Hulu and the like here in canada I suggest
hotspotshield.com so easy and you can stream till your heart's content!

What does the CRTC has to do with this???? Netflix only pays a license to broadcast the movies in the USA, so it limits its service to the USA. Don´t you just LOVE people who blame the Government for EVRYTHING??

The CRTC is too busy forcing radio stations to play Anne Murray and Rush songs to actually solve any REAL license disputes among copyright holders. As for creating legislation for proper digital distribution of intellectual properties so companies like Netflix can distribute safely instead of making pirating legal? Forget it, but at least they force us to watch more episodes of 'Little Mosque on the Prairie' and 'Being Erica'. Don't completely blame the CRTC though, you, Canada say something to your representatives and stop using bit torrent, and we might get choice in our entertainment.

To get working on a console outside the us, you need the above, plus a router flashed with ddwrt, or openwrt that supports configuration of the vpn connection in the device… Google a strong vpn provider, as they give info on how to configure certain routers, or you can even buy a particular router already configured with a “strong” vpn solution…

Netflix Canada offers very old movies and shows.
US Netflix has 10 times more movies and there are plenty of new releases.

I am using usvideo.ca to watch US Netflix from Canada. Works on my AppleTV too.

been trying HSS, installed well but cannot seem to use it for any website.

Well, as it turned out, the Netflix Canada selection is pretty bad. Luckily there is quite a lot of free TV content available for streaming even in Canada. Check out for example http://www.streaming-guide.com
