Netflix problem anyone notice this?

[canadateck]

We got one free trial and we were able to watch two movies"differnt movies' in separate rooms at the same time...we purchased the membership after the free trial and are now unable to watch movies in 2 separate rooms at the same time, we keep getting an error message saying that a device is already in iuse, Is there anybody else experiencing this issue? Thanks

Netflix claims you can watch 2 streams at a time. I know they've been having problems like you describe, from time to time. I'd wait a day or two and see if it goes away.

Not an issue here. What plan did you subscribe?

Did you ask them? If so, what did they say?

This was in the news recently. For example:

I just verified I can still watch two streams at once.

"If you are on the Unlimited Streaming plan, the Unlimited Streaming + 1 DVD out-at-a-time plan or a limited streaming plan, you may watch only one device at a time."

...the Unlimited Streaming + 1 DVD out-at-a-time plan...

I changed to that plan two weeks ago. Just tested and two streams at a time worked.

The official policy in Netflix's TOS has always been 1 stream. But they have always allowed at least 2 streams (except when they were having problems) and have publicly stated so.
