Lay My Hat

Hi

Does anyone know whether it is possible to play Netflix (UK version) through a Google Chromecast bought in France?

Previously I have taken our UK Chromecast out to France with us but that didn't work.

Thank you.

I have 2 amazon firesticks, they work really well but you get the French netflix, which is better for us as most movies & tv series are in 2 languages as are the subtitles. No UK catch up TV but we have a sat dish for that. Sorry i dont know much about the chromecast though.

Thank you for the info. Assume that would mean subscribing to French Netflix as well ?

If you have a UK subscription it will work here & throughout the world, i pay in euros that is the only difference. I have a 4 user subscription as its popular with the our son & our foster sons & i dont have to worry to much about content unlike utube.

What Bassman said, Netflix in France is the French service, so different (and not as many films and series as the UK Netflix due to French authority restrictions) but all are in VO as well as French dubbed versions. My kids are very happy with it too!

You can change the language and subtitles on most Netflix programmes. Availability is according to the country you are actually in, not the country that the subscription is from. I see different content on Netflix depending on whether I am in France or the UK. It's pretty similar on both.

How to change them depends on the device.

We have a Netflix subscription in Canada - and it works fine when we are in France (using a Chromecast). Nice to have the different set of programs available when we are in France that are not available on Netflix in Canada
