  When did that happen? I’m just curious, cause I ditched Netflix but I know their cheapest plan used to work.

    At least a year now. Very blunt message saying that casting wasn’t available with my plan. Such a needlessly dickish move on their part.

      Damn. So they did it on the Netflix end of things? That is ridiculous.
