Netflix on EE TV

How do I get Netflix through EE? 

Whether you're a new or existing EE TV customer, you can enjoy Netflix as part of one of our TV packages. If you sign up to an Entertainment, Big Entertainment or Full Works package, then your package will automatically include Netflix. 

If you sign up to a package that doesn’t have Netflix included and have a TV box you can add Netflix to your EE bill as an Extra, with a monthly-rolling subscription.

Subscribing to Netflix with EE will allow you to watch Netflix via the Netflix App on your TV box, as well as on many of your favourite internet enabled devices such as smartphones, tablets and computers.

What if I’m an existing Netflix subscriber? 

If you already have Netflix, there’s no need to cancel. If you have Netflix with a third party, then you’ll need to cancel this directly with them.

How do I pay for Netflix?

If you sign up for Entertainment, Big Entertainment or a Full Works package, then Netflix is automatically included in your monthly TV and broadband bill.

If you’ve purchased Netflix as an Extra, then this is a monthly-rolling subscription. Extras can be added and removed from your package month-to-month. Subscription charges will appear under the ‘TV and entertainment’ section on your EE bill. 

You may notice that the dates are slightly different to other EE products on your bill, as this depends on when you activate your Extra. Get more help with your EE bill here.

Can I access Netflix on EE, with an existing Netflix account? 

Yes, you can log in using an existing active account. Just enter your existing account details into the Netflix app on your TV box by selecting 'Sign in'. 

I have Extra Box with EE, can I watch Netflix on both boxes? 

You can watch Netflix on any device that supports the Netflix app, including another TV Box if you have our Extra Box add-on. However, the number of screens you can watch it on at the same time depends on the plan you have. To find out more visit www.netflix.com/help

Will my EE TV parental control settings work on the Netflix app?

If you have parental controls set up on your TV box, you'll be prompted to enter your parental control PIN every time you enter the Netflix player on your box. Here's help resetting your PIN from Netflix.

If you’ve signed up for Entertainment or Big Entertainment, then a Netflix Basic plan is included in your package. If you’ve signed up for Full Works, then a Netflix Standard plan is included in your package. You can see what’s included in each Netflix plan here:

• A Netflix Basic plan, watch unlimited movies and TV shows on one screen at a time in HD for those in your household.
• A Netflix Standard plan, watch unlimited movies and TV shows on two screens at the same time in Full HD  for those in your household.
• A Netflix Premium plan, watch unlimited movies and TV shows on four screens at the same time in 4K Ultra HD for those in your household. Subject to your internet service and device capabilities.

You can also choose to upgrade your Netflix plan before checkout, at the activation stage or through My EE or via Netflix. You can retain your existing Netflix plan, if you have Netflix Standard or Premium. 

Struggling to activate? You can manage your Netflix plan in the ‘TV and Sport’ section within plans and subscriptions on EE online, or open the Netflix app on your TV box.

If you take Netflix as an Extra, you can choose from: 

• A Netflix Standard with adverts plan, watch and download movies and TV shows with a few ads on two screens in Full HD.
• A Netflix Standard plan, watch unlimited movies and TV shows on two screens at the same time in Full HD for those in your household.
• A Netflix Premium plan, watch unlimited movies and TV shows on four screens at the same time in 4K Ultra HD for those in your household. Subject to your internet service and device capabilities.
