Netflix from BT

Netflix is a subscription-based streaming service that allows you to watch award-winning TV shows, movies, documentaries and more without adverts. The more you watch, the better Netflix gets at recommending what you’ll enjoy.

If you already have Netflix, there’s no need to cancel. When you activate your bundle, we’ll provide you the option to move your existing account with all your history to your new BT TV bundle.

If you signed up to Netflix on BT TV before 12 November 2021 then you will have purchased this as an “add-on”. Add-ons can be added and removed from your package month-to-month.

If you sign up for Entertainment, Big Entertainment or a VIP bundle, then Netflix is automatically included in your monthly bill meaning you’ll pay for Netflix when you pay your TV and broadband bill.

If you signed up to Netflix on BT TV before 12 November 2021 then you will have purchased this as an “add-on”. Add-ons can be added and removed from your package month-to-month. Subscription charges will appear under the 'BT TV' section on your BT bill.

You may notice that the dates are slightly different to other BT products on your bill, as this depends on when you order your add-on.

Watching via the Netflix App on the BT TV box won't count towards your broadband usage. If you watch Netflix on any other devices in the home (such as smartphones, tablets and computers) connected to your BT Broadband, then it will count. If you have an unlimited broadband package, then you don't need to worry about this.

With all BT Broadband packages, your internet speed could slow down if you use any streaming services (including those on BT TV) at the same time as using your broadband for other purposes.

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. You can find help resetting your PIN here >

If you’ve signed up to Netflix through BT then you need to activate your service for it to commence. Activating your Netflix account is important so that you can either set up a Netflix account, or bring your existing Netflix account over to BT.

To do this simply check your order confirmation email. You can also activate it by going onto the ‘TV and Sport’ section of My BT. You’ll be asked to enter an email address and password. You’ll also get the option to upgrade your Netflix plan.

It's easy to change your Netflix plan. Simply log into My BT and navigate to the ‘TV and Sport’ section under ‘Your products’. You can then manage your BT TV account and change your Netflix plan. 

Any change in your plan will be reflected on your next BT bill and if you downgrade your plan, you’ll get a pro-rated refund for any days not used.

Yes, you can change the email address you use to login to Netflix in the 'Account' section at www.netflix.com >

You can remove the Netflix add-on from your TV account here >

There are no cancellation fees, but you won't get a refund for partial months you've already paid for. However you will have access to the service until the end of the month you've paid for.

If you were paying for Netflix before taking BT TV, Netflix will get in touch about continuing your subscription. If not, your Netflix subscription will stop at the same time as your BT TV service.

There's lots of help and support available at the Netflix Help Centre >

If you think you might be having an issue with your BT TV service, check out our TV help here >

It’s really easy to reset your login details if you've forgotten them. Just go to www.netflix.com/help and search for 'forgotten password' or 'forgotten email'.

You’ll need to provide some details then Netflix will usually reset this for you in within a few minutes.

When you move home there's no break in your Netflix service, as you can still access it on any Netflix compatible device. If your Netflix is included in your TV package then remember to tell BT when you are moving house to ensure no break in service.  

Netflix charges may not align with your BT billing cycle but don't worry; you won't be overcharged. Alternatively, you may have chosen to upgrade the Netflix plan that is included in your TV package, this will show in your BT bill.

If you're not presented with the option to add Netflix to your BT bill when signing up via the TV box, it may be because you have an older version of the box. You can still add Netflix online at BT.com by visiting BT TV Packages and Extras >
