Hello Alll,

I just signed up to netflix and for the life of me can not find any star trek related series or movies? The only star trek material they have is Trekkies.

Does anyone who has or had a netflix account can confirm that there is no star trek programmes or that I'm not looking in the right place.

    Should be:

    https://signup.netflix.com/Search?v1=star+trek

    May want to try searching via some of the actors names maybe?....

    Are you signed up for instaplay on your tv? What device are you using?

    Roku? PS3? Xbox?

    You can watch every episode of every series, including TAS for the $8/month.

    The Star Trek shows are only available on the American Netflix - the movies are available on the Canadian Netflix.

    It was an attempt at an explanation. Usually when rights to show a motion picture or television show or whatever are granted, it;s only for specific countries. I know when I worked college radio way back when, the rights sticker that was attached to records only granted permission to play that record within the US. Payments are made depending on the location of where something is being played.

    It also boils down to money. I;m sure they're getting more money when a US based person rents one of those movie when compared to someone in Africa for example.

    Just trying to help :)
