Netflix will upgrade the low-cost advertising package: add download service, and you can avoid one episode of ads for watching three episodes in a row.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Alejandro86 and soft media users 1520111 for their clue delivery! CTOnews.com, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) Netflix recently announced through its official blog that one year after its launch, its low-cost advertising package will usher in a series of feature updates and user experience improvements.

The CTOnews.com is summarized as follows:

This weekend, a new "download to local" feature will be added for users who choose a low-cost advertising package, which will make Netflix the "only" streaming service available to ad-level subscribers.

Starting from the first quarter of next year, after users watch three consecutive episodes of film and television content, the fourth episode can get an ad-free viewing experience. This kind of plan is officially called the "carnival experience".

CTOnews.com Note: the program, which costs $6.99 in the United States (currently about 51 yuan), provides users with the same TV shows, movies and "personalized viewing experience" as most other subscriptions, but users will see 4-5 minutes of ads per hour, ranging from 15 seconds to 30 seconds, which will be inserted before or in the middle of the film and television content.

After the subscription program was launched in November last year, it was criticized for providing only 720p resolution, and then in April this year, Netflix announced that it would improve the video quality of "basic ad subscriptions" to 1080p without any increase in fees. In addition, the number of simultaneous video streams will be increased from one to two.

Countries and regions that support the service include the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Italy, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea and so on.
