BlakJak: Did you ask Netflix?

GV27:

 

I never liked this as you can have separated families with split living arrangements and an iPad that travels with a kid from parent's house to another week to week.

 

Mobile devices weren't an issue for us.  It was the TVs.

But ... Netflix and their associate Spark are in the rearview mirror for us, and we don't miss either of them.

As per the post by mattwnz, that is what I have been doing and have not had any issues.

I live in Auckland and I also travel a bit for work. Recently I was working in Wellington for just over 1 month. I ensured I logged onto Netflix on my mobile device at home the day before I travelled to Wellington. Was able to use Netflix on the 2 TV's in my hotel room without any issues. 

Was there for 25 days then came home for 2 days and back to Wellington again for another 10 days. I made sure I used Netflix at home on my mobile device in those 2 days.

Bit of a pain to remember to do that but, that is the recommended method for people who travel.

Starting a program at 1 house and resuming at the other is a crude way of suggesting you're the same person.

I get that it might let you watch it on the phone, but I’m not seeing any connection between the phone and the TV in that scenario.

If you fancy tinkering, you could always build one of these:

Turn a Raspberry Pi Zero into a Personal VPN Server

Given that Pi Zeros seem to retail for around $30 and use only a trickle of power, it could be a simple fix. Install at the primary residence then connect via VPN in when at the other residence, Netflix will then think it's being watched from the primary residence.

Building one of these is on my project list for my Jellyfin server, to give family access and for when I travel (I have already cancelled Netflix).

Install wireguard vpn on your router if it supports it. Then use wireguard vpn on all your devices and it does not matter where in the world you are, you will be connecting through your home network and will never have an issue.

Another option is to use a travel router with wireguard like this one which I use for travelling. I even used it on a cruise and we all were all browsing the internet as if we were still at home.

When its happened to friends it has offered to send them a code to enter, which just meant that the email account needed to have a rule set up to forward all netflix emails to everyone that used the account. Bit annoying but not a showstopper.
