Netflix launched in India: 7 things to know
Netflix is an online streaming service that provides syndicated content as well as original shows on laptops, smartphones and tablets. You can watch popular shows like House of Cards as well as new titles like Jessica Jones, among other movies and TV shows, any time.
1 What is Netflix?
As part of its launch strategy, Netflix is giving the first month of access free to users in India.
2 The first month is free
Netflix is offering three plans in India: Basic (Rs 500 a month), Standard (Rs 650 a month) and Premium (Rs 800 a month). Users can watch unlimited hours of TV shows and movies on Netflix once they sign up.
3 The plans
However, signing up for Netflix in India requires a credit card. Even those who want to try out the service for the first free month must provide their credit card details, though they will be charged in the second month only.
4 You need a credit card to sign up
Netflix users can cancel their subscription any time at the click of a button.
5 Cancel anytime
Netflix is offering SD (Standard Definition) videos on the Rs 500 per month plan and HD (High Definition) streaming on the Rs 650 per month plan. For Ultra HD (4K) videos, users need to subscribe to the Rs 800 a month plan
.
6 What’s the video quality?
Those who subscribe to the Basic plan (Rs 500/month) can use their Netflix account on only one device at a time. Under the Standard plan (Rs 650 a month), the account can be used on two devices simultaneously, so you can use the subscription on one device while a friend uses it on another. Similarly, the Premium plan (Rs 800/month) allows four people to use the same Netflix account simultaneously
