Netflix is in 1 million Australian homes

Research from Australian firm Roy Morgan indicates that Netflix is in one million Aussie homes.

The firm also says that 2,728,000 Australians aged 14 or over use the streaming subscription service.

“Netflix has clearly enjoyed remarkable growth during its inaugural year in Australia, however the recent slowdown in net monthly increases indicates there it will take longer to become truly mainstream,” Roy Morgan’s Tim Martin said via statement.

“Technology Adoption Segments show that early adopters, tech-savvy professionals and engaged young social networkers have been the quickest to subscribe to Netflix – and it could take a while longer for the idea of subscription video to gain a foothold among older tech explorers, technology traditionalists and technophobes.”

Netflix says it’s about to block geoblocking circumvention, meaning Australians will only have access to the Australian Netflix catalogue. Geoblocking circumvention provider UnoTelly says it will work to bypass said restrictions.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
