Happens here in Germany too. We were not informed via mail but via a message when we started the app on the TV (not even on a phone). Since there are two other people on that account I decided to not just cancel but talk with both of them. We moved one tier down.. Yet.

The studio cash grab explosion of streaming services is simply too inconvenient.
Subbing to everything you want to watch would still be cheaper than renting it all before streaming.
But Netflix has changed the value proposition and the stuidios are slitting their own throats trying to catch up.

Now I remember why I don't pay attention to 7 news. This article is an ad in itself.

Customers will notice the change on their next bill. Netflix has quietly put up its prices across each subscription tier in Australia.

Why is this even legal, oh who am I kidding lobbying most likely. They began notifying people on May 13. Thanks for the correction @blindsight.

blindsight ,

They get 30 days notice of the price increase. That's pretty reasonable and in compliance with the law, I would assume.

I get Netflix for free from tmobile. But I use real-debrid and streamio to watch Netflix shows because the UI is better.

theshatterstone54 ,

Can you give me a tldr or a source for a tldr of setting up real-debrid with stremio?

jaschen ,

I highly recommend doing to on a PC or Mac. Doing this initially on a phone is buggy. Essentially Streamio is just a player like VLC, but has the ability to have add-ons. These add-on doesn't need to be resetup on each device you install it on. Just sign in and it's working.

As for real debrid, I would pay the 180 days one because they give you points that you can redeem for another month or so of days.

Good luck.


Stremio Setup Guide
Part 1: Stremio

For Windows/Mac users - Go to https://www.stremio.com/ and download the relevant client for your platform

For Android users - Install Stremio through the Google Play Store: Stremio - Apps on Google Play

Open Stremio and sign up with email or Facebook

Part 2: Real Debrid

Go to https://real-debrid.com/

Sign up

Go to Premium Offers

Choose a package and subscribe. I found that using Amazon Pay as the payment method is the most convenient (if you have an Amazon account)

Part 3: Torrentio

Go to Torrentio Lite - Stremio Addon

Towards the bottom of the page, select the "Debrid Provider" option and select "Real Debrid" from the drop-down menu. This will cause a new text box to appear underneath.

Copy the API key from this link https://real-debrid.com/apitoken and paste it into the "RealDebrid API Key**"** box

In the Debrid Options menu: Check the box "Don't show download to debrid links" and leave the other boxes unchecked.

Click "Install" at the bottom. It should open the Stremio app and prompt you with an "Install Addon" window. Click the green install button at the bottom.

Optional but highly Recommended - In Stremio, click the puzzle piece in the top right to view your addons. Click "My Addons" and uninstall the "WatchHub" addon. It's an eyesore and it clutters your streams list.

Now that you have completed the setup, you may install Stremio on any device of your choice (excluding IOS) and log in to your account to start streaming Movies/TV. Refer to the section below for Stremio installation on FireOS devices (Fire Stick, FireTV).

Exactly what I do... I keep thinking it's too good to last. I still download things if I know I'm going to rewatch them a lot.

jaschen ,

Me too. But make sure to log into real debrid and just download it from there.

I'm gonna be honest. I never have done that till today. Wow... So much easier. Incredible.

jaschen ,

Sometimes I find the movie with the best subtitles and then play it in streamio. Pause and then go to real debrid to download it for when I'm going on a flight.

I feel like what I used to be back in 2006-2010, mr. family pirate, although most of my family is glad to pay for one or two services, mostly Amazon prime, which is one of the cheapest. I let my Netflix account cancel from lack of pay some 6 months ago, nobody called me yet.

Earning money in BRL and lots of stuff having a base price in dollars doesn't help us much either.

The pikachu face is capitalism working as intended, instead of the corrupt capitalism they’re used to with regions of the world carved up/tariffs/government buying the product if you’re having a bad year.

I just pay Netflix because of guilty conscience. There was nothing interesting to watch in the last months.

You have nothing to feel guilty about. Pirating is literally the more moral thing to do.
