Netflixwill launch this November, a special subscription for those who love movies and series on the platform and want to rent them at a lower price.
In this opportunity, it will allow “Base with ads”a basic plan with announcements for eight countries within which are: United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy and South Korea.
As for the price, it varies by region, but it would be less than $ 7 a month USESlower amount than the original subscription offered by the platform.
Here are the things to consider when changing your Netflix plan.
1. No support for Apple TV and other brands
When starting your device, you may see the message “Basic service with advertisements is not supported”. In that case, however, it is necessary to restart it, there are some that are not compatible with the new plan of the platform.
The same is true if you want to use Netflix on Windows browserin chromium casting on an old device, in addition to PlayStation 3.
2. Not all content is available
As for the material included in the new subscription, not all studios have accepted this new Netflix plan. This is why, in fact, “Ad Base” doesn’t offer all the content to play.
3. Single video screen
The platform allows the transmission of the material only from one device at a time. Unlike the $ 10 plan, it will become a Standard user and you will be able to play the content on two devices at the same time or, in the case of a client Premiumyou can do this on four devices.
4. No downloads
the new plan it does not provide the possibility to download the material to watch it offline and enjoy a long journey in style.
5. No HD
The “Basic with ads” subscription, like the previous business plan, only shows series and movies with a resolution up to 720pand, unlike the other plans, the Standard offers a resolution of 1080p and the Premium in “Ultra HD”.
6. Will have ads
“Base with ads” will give four to five minutes of announcements per hourwith commercials disrupting both the series and the movies, although previews arriving on the service, particularly those produced by the platform, will only have a pre-roll, commercial before the material is played.
By contrast, films that “have been in service for a while,” said chief product officer Greg Peters, will have a mix of pre-roll and mid-roll ads, but with fewer interruptions.
