Hi, I've got sky ultimate which I think comes with Netflix included but I'm still being charged seperately by Netflix. I think I was told the Netflix payment would automatically be cancelled. Any ideas?

@MaxP Hi, I'm curious how you got on with contacting Netflix? We are in same situation, however, we've been paying since 2018! I didn't realise until I logged in to my Netflix account to downgrade, and it said it's paid through Sky. Really hoping Netflix will refund the money.

Same boat here , theyre still billing me 21 euro a month via netflix for last 8 months even though when i log into my netflix account it says its free as part of my sky package . Anyone get any joy from netflix ??

How can I sign up for an Xfinity package with Netflix?
Xfinity packages with Netflix are only available in select markets at this time. To check availability, please visit xfinity.com.

How do I know if my Xfinity package includes Netflix?
If Netflix is included in your X1 package, it will be listed in the \"Bundled Services\" or the \"Regular monthly charges\" section of your bill.

I signed up for an Xfinity package that includes Netflix. How do I activate my Netflix account?
Launch the Netflix app on your X1 TV Box. Then, follow the prompts to either link your existing Netflix account to your Xfinity package or create a new Netflix account to be linked to your Xfinity package.

How do I find the Netflix app on my X1 TV Box?
You can either say \"Netflix\" into the Xfinity Voice Remote or you can go directly to the Netflix app by clicking on the Netflix tile found in the X1 apps menu.

I signed up for an Xfinity package that includes Netflix but never accessed the Netflix app on my X1 TV Box. Can I still create a new Netflix account or transfer an existing one as part of my package?
Yes. However, you must open the Netflix app on your X1 TV Box to activate the Netflix service included in your Xfinity package.

If you have an existing Netflix account and sign up for an Xfinity package with Netflix service, you'll continue to be charged separately for your Netflix account until you complete the activation process by using the Netflix app on your X1 TV Box.

How do I change my Netflix plan or account information?
You can change your Netflix plan at any time by signing in to netflix.com and visiting the Account page, then selecting Change Plan to view and select available plans.

What will happen to my Netflix account if I cancel my Xfinity service or change my Xfinity package?
For more information, see how to disconnect or downgrade Xfinity service with Netflix.

What happens to my Netflix account if I move?
Your Netflix subscription relationship is with Netflix directly, even if you signed up through Xfinity X1. Because of this, a move will not impact your subscription unless you are billed by Comcast, in which case, you will need to update your method of payment for Netflix.

Note: You'll need to sign in to Netflix again once you activate the boxes at your new address. If you move and no longer have Xfinity services, you will no longer be billed by Comcast and must update your payment method for Netflix or risk losing your Netflix Service.

If you have a previous, valid method of payment (credit or debit card, for example) on file with Netflix, Netflix will charge your previous method of payment. Contact Netflix to cancel your Netflix account after changing your service package with Comcast.

I accidentally linked the wrong Netflix account to my Xfinity package. What should I do?
If you accidentally connect the wrong Netflix account to your Xfinity package, please sign out of the Netflix app on X1 and please contact us.

How does Netflix affect internet data usage?
Video in the Netflix app on Xfinity X1 is streamed over the internet. For this reason, usage of the Netflix app on X1 and all other programming and content from the internet on X1, as well as, the internet apps on X1 are subject to Xfinity Internet data usage policies.

To determine what amount of usage you can expect for a given hour of streaming, Netflix provides estimates on its website. Netflix estimates about 1 GB of data per hour for each stream of standard definition video, and up to 3 GB per hour for each stream of HD video.

Will my Netflix user settings carry over to X1 or Flex?
Yes. Existing Netflix customers who use their Netflix login information when logging in through the Netflix app on X1 or Flex will see their current Netflix settings.

Why is Netflix programming displaying in letterbox?
If you signed up for a Netflix standard definition (SD) package, the Netflix content will appear in SD in the letterbox format, even if you are an Xfinity HD customer. In order to get rid of the letterbox view, you must change your Netflix subscription to a package that includes HD.

Long before streaming was a thing, falling asleep with the TV on meant that you might wake up in the early morning hours, only to find static on the set because the channel went offline for the night. The modern version of this is just as common: you fall asleep with Netflix playing, only to wake up and discover that the TV turned itself off at some point during the night. Why?

According to the Netflix Help Center, the company added the "Are You Still Watching?" prompt to its platform for two reasons: so that you won't needlessly use up internet data by streaming to an empty room, and so that you won't lose your place in a series if you fall asleep while it is playing. The company attempts to strike a reasonable balance between getting verification and not interrupting your shows too frequently. As such, you can expect to see the pop-up after watching three episodes of the same TV show in a row or 1.5 hours of uninterrupted watching. When this feature was initially launched, many users were divided about it.

On the one hand, it can help save you from a startling bill if you're on a metered internet connection, such as a limited data mobile plan, because streaming video tends to use up considerable amounts of data. However, many users who enjoy binge-watching TV shows or streaming content for background noise find the pop-up annoying, as it forces their attention back on their TV after a relatively short period of time. To address those complaints, Netflix added the option to turn on autoplay.

Among the several ways to turn off Netflix's "Are You Still Watching?" pop-up, enabling autoplay is the easiest and most straightforward option. By enabling autoplay, all of the episodes for a particular show will play without any interruptions from Netflix. Here's how to enable autoplay in your Netflix account settings:

With this feature enabled, Netflix will automatically play the next episode in a series, meaning you won't have to deal with the prompt appearing every three episodes. You can disable the feature at any time by following the same steps and unchecking the box.

You can turn off Netflix's "Are You Still Watching?" prompt using your iPhone, iPad, Android phone, or tablet, which will enable you to watch content on the go without the prompt appearing. To disable autoplay in the Netflix mobile app, follow these instructions:

After changing your Netflix settings, you may need to refresh your viewing devices for this feature to be activated. Thankfully, there are two ways to do that: switch to another profile temporarily or sign out and sign back in. Afterward, you can expect Netflix to provide uninterrupted streaming for your favorite shows.

If you tend to watch Netflix in a desktop browser on your computer, there is a way to keep it playing uninterrupted for as long as you want with the help of the Never Ending Netflix Chrome extension. This is not an official extension, but it does offer multiple features that give users more control over the streaming experience.

Afterward, you can expect Netflix to play without interruption on your Google Chrome browser or other browsers that support Chrome extensions like Opera. However, it's important to take note that this won't affect your Netflix viewing experience for other browsers on your laptop or other devices to which your account is linked. With this method, you will still have to manually change your Netflix settings if you want to use other browsers or devices.

Due to being one of the platform's officially supported browsers, it is possible to stream Netflix on Firefox. If you want more control over the streaming experience than what Netflix offers natively, you can try one of multiple browser extensions designed to offer additional functionality. Arguably the most popular unofficial Netflix extension for Firefox is BingeFlix for Netflix. To use this tool, you need to:

The extension will automatically modify the Netflix streaming experience. Not only does the extension enable autoplay, but it also automates something that otherwise requires a button press: skipping the intros in shows. This is a great way to avoid watching the same intro on each episode without manually clicking the Skip Intro button every single time. Keep in mind, however, that this is an unofficial app; it is not created or endorsed by Mozilla, the company behind Firefox. As with any third-party plugin, it is possible the extension may develop a bug, fail to work as expected, or break in the future if the developer stops maintaining it.

After a tough day at school or work, we often turn to streaming apps like Netflix to wind down. However, no matter how compelling your favorite TV show or movie is, it can sometimes be impossible to stay awake for all of it. According to Netflix, the "Are You Still Watching?" feature was designed to help users manage their limited internet data and not lose where they are in their favorite shows. If you have a habit of falling asleep while watching Netflix shows, it's probably a good idea to disable autoplay.
