TalkTalk Add Netflix Internet Video Streaming to their YouView TV Boxes

Budget broadband ISP TalkTalk has predictably followed last year’s similar move by BT (here) and made the popular Netflix Internet TV and Movie streaming service available to owners of their YouView (IPTV) based platform, with those who pre-registered for the service being first in line to receive it on their set-top-box.

The full roll-out will continue until the end of January 2015, when all 1.2 million of TalkTalk TV’s homes will have access to Netflix. As usual customer will need to subscribe to Netflix from £5.99 per month in order to receive the content.

TalkTalk’s Tristia Harrison said: “Netflix is a brilliant new addition to TalkTalk TV. As Britain’s fastest growing TV service, we are on a mission to provide the best movies and hit TV shows that our customers can dip in and out of, all at a great price. Netflix complements this perfectly.”

The announcement comes only a few days after TalkTalk scooped up the rival Blinkbox Movies service from the ashes of Tesco’s debt pile (here), which some unconfirmed reports suggest cost the provider a cool £5m.
