Portugal's "Netflix" N-Play - Blu-ray Forum

I'm on holidays in Portugal and have been using N-Play (by Nos) it for two days as a family member has the 3-month trial and honestly, it's not very good.

Pros:
+ Picture quality in HD looks equally the same as any other HD streaming service.
+ Kids' cartoons are dubbed in Portuguese whenever available than any other language (I usually prefer to watch cartoons in Spanish, English or Japanese).

Cons:
- Selection is not that great (well, sure there's a lot to choose from but series like The Office, Arrested Development and so on they don't have)
- Subtitles are forced (i.e, not optional by the looks of it)
- UI is clunky, slow and could've been better organised.
- Procuring for a show or a movie isn't easy because they use the Portuguese translated titles and I'm used to the original ones so it's unfortunate they don't use alternate keywords)

Extra con:
- Portuguese subtitles aren't always very accurate or translate the meaning in a different way than it's supposed to (which is why I'd rather not have them activated if I could)

Anyway, the real Netflix is coming to Portugal later this year so this poor man's Netflix will be dust by then.
