Netflix password and record on 360 box

I've just signed up with Netflix via my Virgin 360 box
How do I find my Netflix password to enable to use it on other device.

Also, is it possible to record Netflix on to my 360 box. I can't find any sort of recording option.

Thanks.

  • If you didn't have to create a password when you signed in through the 360 then the password is probably the same one that is linked to your Virgin account email.

    If that doesn't work have you tried the Netflix instructions here to reset the password.

    Recording? Nope. You cannot record anything that is sourced from your Broadband connection. This includes the FAST channels that are provided in the 200 range in the guide (the ones where you have to press the Red Button after selecting the channel to view). You can only record channels that use the standard broadcast Cable TV system.

      Thanks, I assume that there is no way round this?

      Does the same apply if I watch Netflix on my computer?

  • If you've lost your email - then best option is to ask Netflix to reset or click on the 'forgot password' promt.

      I haven't lost my email, I just have no idea what my password is. I didn't need to set one up as I subscribed through my 360 box

      Thanks, that didn't occur to me. I'll give that a try with my Virgin email and password.

      I had a look at the help section on my Netflix channel and it does show my Virgin email, so I suppose it may work.

    Netflix, like all the other streamers, is a streaming-only service which does not permit recording. You can, however, download certain titles to mobile devices like phones and tablets for viewing on those devices.

  • Thanks, I specifically want to download to my computer.
    I've seen some free programmes for downloading Netflix, I'll  give them a try.
