Closed Caption does not work for me when getting Netflix via the Hopper app. Am missing something or does everyone have this issue?
Netflix comes to the Hopper with Sling

I can live without 1080p and 5.1 but I'd really like to get the app on the Joey "soon". Except, now that I think of it, the Joey is so slow right now it would probably blow up trying to load NFLX.
I'm guessing...guessing is a keyword here... The joey will have the Netflix app within 3 months. My question is, will the streaming be as a client from the hopper, or will it be an app based from the Joey itself. Any takers on guesses, and reasoning?
Since it will require a newer Hopper (w/ Sling vs the original Hopper), it seems as though it will have to go "through" the Hopper -- and not just from the aspect of internet access. Sounds like the Hopper will stream it to the Joey. Just a wild-a** guess, of course.
Now, will you be able to stream different sessions from each Hopper or Joey in the house ? Will it count against the number of allowable devices for streaming (from Netflix's end) ?

Netflix app requires a particular CPU that is only in the Hopper w/Sling (not even in the Hopper 2K).
Thanks for "recommending" that show. I'm on episode 6 or 7 already !
I thought about getting Netflix. I'm too cheap, but want to watch orange is the new black. My next frivolous purchase, is going to be a pub membership, and then I have to listen to the gf complain until I do something else that she considers dumb. The happy life!!!
I'm a little late to the party I just noticed Netflix yesterday lol. Its nice to have it on the hopper not sure how much I will use it thou since I have a blu ray player and roku hooked up with Netflix. I wish apps like Pandora and Netflix would go thru to the Joeys that would be great for me.
The Pandora app is on the Joey. Some have an issue with the pandora app resetting the Joey after playing about 45 minutes but is does work nicely. Netflix is supposed to be coming to the Joeys at some point.
Netflix may have lost subscribers (cancelled service) when they had a price increase but more new customers signed up, negating any loss in total subscribers.
The price for existing subscribers has not increased for Netflix and won't for 2yrs from the date of the increase so I'd say it's unlikely anyone unsubscribed over that. Even at the new price Netflix is still a bargain imo.

You're right. It was $1.00 increase and existing subs could keep the old $7.99 price for two years before it increases. But even this increase did slow subscriber growth.
