Installing Netflix

[N4RPS]

Hello!

You're quite welcome. I'm just sorry I can't help you any further.

Yes, it would probably be best to uninstall Netflix-desktop using the

Code:

sudo apt-get purge netflix-desktop

command. After that, run this:

Code:

sudo apt-get autoremove

That will get rid of everything else you no longer need to have once netflix-desktop is removed.

If you don't have a lot of memory (under 1 GB) on your PC, Linux + WINE + Silverlight (or Pipelight) just slows things down too much for a satisfactory viewing experience. If you had enough memory to make all that work (estimate: 2 GB), you could have, most likely, just ran Vista or Windows 7.

For Netflix, you may want to buy a Roku - I THINK they run in the $50 range for a basic unit, more for a fancier one. Unless I am mistaken, it will let you watch Netflix, Crackle, and other Web-based entertainment on your TV.

Now if we were talking about, lets say, Hulu Plus, THEY *DO* have a Linux version, but in my opinion, they don't really have very much at all to pay $8/month for that can't be obtained elsewhere for free...
