Finally, seamless Netflix viewing experience has now arrived for Singtel TV customers through their set-top box.

Starting today, 1st April 2016, Singtel is actively rolling out updates for their Singtel TV customers' set-top boxes that are connected to Singtel's fiber broadband service to enjoy Netflix via Channel 404 or their remote's Quick Access Button.

Singtel expects the set-up top box Netflix integration rollout to be completed by end of April. So if you are unable to tune in and enjoy Netflix on your set-top box today, don't fret as your set-top box might not yet have received the necessary update, so sit tight.

In case you've missed out, Singtel has announced a partnership with Netflix that will give customers up to nine months of complimentary standard Netflix subscription when they re-contract or sign up for the telco's mobile, fiber internet and/or television services.

For customers’ added convenience, Singtel also offers direct billing for customers who wish to continue watching Netflix after their complimentary subscriptions end.

The availability of Netflix content across most of the globe has created a lot of interest for net-savvy folks who've been consuming Netflix via various devices like their smartphones, tablets and notebooks. Up till now in Singapore, only Smart TVs that integrate a Netflix app could benefit from direct Netflix viewing on a big screen. Singtel's set-top box based integration will now bring its TV viewing customers a much more seamless Netflix viewing experience even if they don't have a Smart TV.

Previously, StarHub has publicized that it will integrate Netflix access for its customers by early Q2 2016, but it looks like Singtel has beat them to the punch.
