Netflix help!

[pappabass]

I have basic netflix with firestick. I need some help. Why is it I can find a cheesy hallmark movie on Netflix & it is $3.99 while it is on hallmark for free? Do I need a better package or a different source?

 

[Bryan R. Tyler]

Um...isn’t everything on Netflix free?

I didn't even realize you could use NetFlix with a FireStick.
Are you sure you're not talking about Amazon Prime Video?

Are you talking about the streaming Hallmark channel? If you can access it for free, then enjoy. It's one of the idiosyncrasies of streaming TV. I've seen the same type of thing with my Roku stick.

It appears Fire TV/Stick supports Netflix:

Using Netflix on your Amazon Fire TV/Stick

Are you sure you’re logged in to your Netflix account on the FireStick?

Is the FireStick updated to latest software?

I say its a firestick, it came from amazon. I dont have prime, just the $7.99 netflix access. Some of the shows are pay per view, even old Andy Griffith. While some movies like Rogue One are free. Then cheesy Christmas movies are pay per view, do I need to try another provider?. Below is the model.

just pay the couple of dollars more for regular netflix....no pay for view

 

[Gorn]

I've never heard of pay per view Netflix.

If you pay for a Netflix subscription, you can access all their content with no additional charges. Are you sure you aren't confusing it with something else?

The more I think about it, the more I think that's what's happening. I've seen "watch this for $3.99" on Amazon even though I have Prime but never on Netflix.

 

[Gorn]

Maybe it's iTunes.

Yeah... pretty OP confused Netflix with Amazon Prime Video

Whether you have the basic or family package on Netflix, once you pay the monthly subscription, everything is free.

Amazon or Vudu have the pay-per-view thing, not NF.

I consider dumping Amazon, because all the good movies are PPV.

 

[pappabass]

I have the 7.99 subscription, some stuff is free while others has a rental. it is logged in or I could not see anything

Sorry, still around,,,

 

[pappabass]

Here is an example..this is for a movie I see on tv. Even seen this for a few tv series.

 

[Alkali Ike]

That’s definitely *not* Netflix. Don’t know what service it *is*, but it’s not Netflix.

You're in the Amazon Prime Instant Video app:

This is my Amazon screen, notice the same pricing for a SD movie.

 

[Alkali Ike]

Or maybe Hulu. But most likely Amazon.
