iflix is like the Philippine Netflix. It will supposedly cost only $3 a month. They're currently on test run. I signed up to receive news, and got a 1 month free preview. They carry few shows right now, but the list isn't bad - Friends (complete), Big Bang, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Black Sails, How I Met..., South Park, Mom, Arrested Development, The Office (UK), Spartacus, Awkward, It's Always Sunny..., Sherlock, Arrow, The Americans, The Closer... quite a good selection! There are movies, as well - fairly new things like LOTR, Batman Begins, Sucker Punch, Watchmen, and Transformers; and classics like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Godfather Trilogy, Speed, Species, Harry Potter, No Way Out, etc.

Here's a screen grab of the first thing I watched. Their FRIENDS is widescreen:

Anyway, sign up now if you want, they'll probably give you a one month trial period for free, as well.

Oh, to answer a question I'm sure is on some people's minds: I just checked out an episode of Spartacus, and the nudity and violence is intact.

Thanks for this I signed up yesterday and they provided a free trial today

Am also on free trial. Watched an episode of American Restoration on a 5 inch phone, no buffering. My internet connection is Globe Wimax 2mbps. .

It works well on three platforms for me: desktop PC, iPad, and Samsung Galaxy S5. No buffering on any! But I am on Fibr 8Mbps.

I heard that as well. That's what worries me about iflix. I hope PLDT doesn't throttle our torrents to make sure we subscribe to iflix.

nice! signed up just now pero bakit 14 days lang nakalagay sa trial ko?

SiCkBoY · « **Reply #8 on:** May 27, 2015 at 07:39 AM »

I just signed up. 14 days free trial lang din. Smooth ang streaming sa Xperia Z3 ko on PLDT MyDSL 5.5 Mbps plan.

Btw, this looks like a Malaysian company no?

SiCkBoY · « **Reply #10 on:** May 27, 2015 at 07:49 AM »

I can't find a way to make the videos play on my default media player on my phone. App doesn't give an option to stream to a media player box like WDTV Live.

How about for iOS users with Apple TV?

15 days lang trial binigay sakin ^^

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #12 on:** May 27, 2015 at 10:52 AM »

Baka bumagsak na yung free trial. Buti na lang early adapter ako!

leomarley · « **Reply #13 on:** May 29, 2015 at 11:30 AM »

wala bang option to play episodes continuously? kailangan ko pa kasi i-play manually after matapos yung isang episode.

Wow this is cool.

SiCkBoY · « **Reply #15 on:** May 30, 2015 at 11:55 AM »

Found out that a friend of a friend is based in My and works for IFLIX. I'll invite her here.

tonedeaf · « **Reply #16 on:** May 31, 2015 at 12:08 AM »

Got 30 days free trial. Signed up shortly after the first post here.

I tried it using desktop->chrome browser->cast extension->chromecast->TV and it works!

Dts_raw · « **Reply #17 on:** May 31, 2015 at 07:15 AM »

15 days yun trial na binigay sa akin. mukhang mabilis naman testing ko ng 5 mins.

leomarley · « **Reply #18 on:** May 31, 2015 at 11:35 AM »

Wala ba talagang continuous play option for TV series?

Try adding the episodes to your playlist. See if that does the trick.

Got an email from Iflix. It says that I can invite 5 for preview and the invitation will expire July 11..

Tnx a lot, was it shipped directly to your residence or did you picked it up at the post office? Also how long did the shipping took?

The postman delivered it. Malapit lang kasi sa amin ang post office and it took almost 2 weeks from the day I ordered it to delivery. The item was shipped from Guangdong Province, I think..
