The "premium" plan allows four users to watch at once, for $20.99 a month, but it will also have an extra $7.99 fee for every additional user in a new location, up to two. That would bring the monthly price for the most-expensive Netflix package to roughly $35 a month, if it includes two members.
When Netflix launched in Canada in 2010, it cost $7.99 a month and had no formal limitations on the number of devices on the same account, although its selection of titles was much more limited than what was available in other countries for the same price.
The system will require the user to opt-in and decide to add a second user. Accounts will not be automatically billed the extra fee if a second user logs on from a new location, the company told CBC News in a statement.
"Over the last year, we've been exploring different approaches to address this issue in Latin America, and we're now ready to roll them out more broadly in the coming months, starting today in Canada, New Zealand, Portugal and Spain," the company said.
Once the system is in place, customers will have to set their "primary location" for their devices but they will be able to "still easily watch Netflix on their personal devices or log into a new TV, like at a hotel or holiday rental."
The company first announced it would be changing their policy on password sharing at the end of 2022, but didn't offer any details. Earlier this month, the company's terms of services were briefly updated in a way that suggested the company was going to be cutting off customers who log in from multiple locations, but Netflix said that was published "accidentally" and would only be the case in certain markets.
The resident of Peace River, Alta., says he currently pays for a premium subscription which he shares with his parents, but the added $8 a month will likely be enough to make him cancel. "Compared to the other streaming services out there, there just isn't enough quality to justify the price points they're coming up with," he said.
"In light of how Netflix has been operating by constantly increasing their prices, this is not a good look," he said. "Feels more like 'Let's take this opportunity to rake in more money to boost our profits.'"
Technology analyst Ritesh Kotak says the company is banking that most of its current password-sharing customers won't think that way and will be willing to pay for the service now that they have gotten accustomed to it.
"How many of them are now going to stop subscribing or are they just going to cut off their friends and family from getting access?" he told CBC News in an interview Wednesday. "They'll end up purchasing an [account]."

Before proceeding, may we know if this is the only channel affected by this? If so, are there any error messages prompted on your screen? Since you've performed all the possible troubleshooting steps provided on this thread, we highly suggest reaching out to the channel provider themselves (Netflix Support) for further assistance and clarification, as they are the ones who provided and maintained their channel on the Roku streaming platform. Their channel may need an update from them.
Could you please specify if this issue is only with a particular channel or specific content? We suggest trying a system restart by going to Settings > System > Power > System restart to see if that resolves the issue. If it doesn't, we recommend following the troubleshooting steps provided in this support article on how to resolve a channel playback issue.
May we know what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far? Also, when did you start seeing this issue? Alternatively, upon exhausting the provided fixes, were you able to communicate with the channel provider to inquire further and ask for additional troubleshooting steps? If so, what were your findings?
Following up on this as well... let's see if I can be relatively organized and systematic in how I describe the issue and steps already taken (although assume anything basic like remove/reload app was tried ages ago).
My Netflix "jams up" for lack of a better term, like others in this thread. Mine manifests as such: starting most any program on Netflix will begin for a short period of time, within 30 seconds, the show will start lagging, the audio will drop out (captions will keep running for a bit), then it'll buffer and eventually overload and the app will reset, or it'll just overload and I'll manually have to press the home button a few times for it to "crash" the Netflix app. Immediately going back into Netflix and trying again, yields the same result. Waiting until later, usually yields the same result.
2) I have four active Roku devices two stream bars, one stick, and this TCL/Roku TV. The only device where this is an issue is the TCL/Roku TV. I have not contacted Netflix as this issue does not appear to be any other devices. Just one specific piece of hardware, this TCL/Roku TV.
A simple search of this thread, and then this forum, shows there's no lack of "Netflix and Roku" issues. Is Roku currently acknowledging the volume of recurring/similar issues? Is Roku currently working on fixing this issue?
Netflix uses your IP address to determine your location, so regaining access to Netflix CA is as simple as finding a VPN with Canadian servers and the ability to avoid detection. Better still, VPNs encrypt your data, hiding your online activity from public hotspot owners, local ISPs, and the government.
New VPN users certainly have plenty of choices. The problem is that every service is different, and not all of them will work with Canadian Netflix. To make sure you get a reliable, versatile service that rises to any occasion, we decided to only recommend VPNs that fit all of the criteria below:
NordVPN is our first choice VPN for watching Canadian Netflix from abroad. It has more than 5,500 servers in 60+ countries and over 480 in Canada alone. Better still, it offers ultrafast download speeds and unlimited bandwidth, making it a natural choice for streaming geo-restricted content. Six simultaneous connections are permitted per account, so users can watch anywhere without having to leave their other devices unprotected.
BEST VPN FOR NETFLIX CANADA:NordVPN is our #1 pick. This no-logs service boasts plenty of powerful security and privacy protections plus impressive speeds. Also comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee.
BEST BUDGET VPN:Surfshark is great value for those on a budget. Lets you connect all your devices with one account. Boasts cutting-edge security features, allowing you to stream safely anywhere. It has no problems with Netflix Canada or similar services and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
STREAM WITHOUT LIMITS:IPVanish offers high speeds and strong security, removing any barriers between you and Netflix Canada. Further, this VPN allows you to connect any number of devices. Annual plans include a 30-day money-back guarantee.

GREAT FOR NETFLIX:PureVPN is a quick and reliable provider capable of accessing multiple Netflix libraries. Includes all of the privacy tools needed to stream safely abroad and works nearly anywhere in the world. Every subscription includes a 30-day money-back guarantee.
HIGH SPEEDS:ProtonVPN provides blazing-fast speeds and more security tools than most of its competitors. An excellent choice for streaming Canadian Netflix during a trip abroad. Paid plans come with 24/7 customer support and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Netflix uses advanced technology to identify VPN connections and block them from accessing its content. The company can detect when a user is attempting to access Netflix from a VPN by looking at the IP address of their connection. If the IP address does not match one of the approved locations, then Netflix will automatically deny access.
The Netflix App on our Bell Fibe Receiver suddenly stopped working (the additional receivers not the 4k receiver) The Netflix app opens and you can pick a show but the show will not play just get an error. This just started this week. We have rebooted receivers and modem but nothing fixes it. Is anyone else having this issue? It is only an issue on the additional receivers not the 4K Receiver nor any other Netflix app on other devices.
Well after all good by Netflix I learn from Bell that only one of my 3 modem boxs meets the new Netflix streaming technology where before I could operase the 3 units without a proble,.So no Netflis on my 2 other screens ??
What is going on , cannot get an answer, Netflix says that no changes to technology of streaming and Bell is trying to hit me with additional costs to upgrade 2 or my 3 modems ,monthly charges plus hardware delivery costs and technicians time .
