Netflix has arrived on YouView, offering access to a range of shows and films including Breaking Bad, Homeland, Orange is the New Black, House of Cards and the latest instalments of The Hobbit and The Hunger Games.
From today, existing Netflix subscribers will be able to log in to the player by entering their username and password using the YouView remote control.
BT TV customers who sign up for Netflix alongside BT broadband TV offers will also be able to pay for Netflix via their BT bill – a world first for Netflix.
Commenting on the move, YouView’s CEO, Richard Halton, said: “Netflix is a brilliant addition to our already impressive line-up of TV programming. We are really excited about Netflix and giving YouView audiences even more choice.”
Bill Holmes, head of business development at Netflix, added: “We’re very excited to bring the Netflix app to YouView boxes and hope to make it even easier for Netflix members with YouView to watch Netflix on their television sets.”
The news comes as BT TV announces that it gained 38,000 subscribers in the UK for the third quarter of 2014, taking its total to 1.05 million homes.
