I pay for unblock US to use netflix, it works fine at my home.

this is my question... when I go round my friends house... what is their policy of using the account at multiple addresses?

I go round my friends house for a film night most weeks - and have had no issues using my netflix account - but what if I wanted to also use my unblock US account on their PC, (obviously using their broadband connection)

    I'm pretty sure Unblock US is tied to a user account rather than hardware so I imagine there wouldn't be a problem with it.

    You can use your account anywhere you like, but it can only be used at one location at a time.

    Edit: just noticed link above:o

    I was wondering how to set this up with a UK Roku via a BT Infinity Homehub 3. Do I need to reset the settings of the router? If so, how will this affect my other devices e.g. I have a Pure One Flow internet radio hooked up to the router as well with loads of pre-programmed stations which I would hate to lose. Do I need to reset the Roku? Do I need to sign up to US Netfix? I'm currently with Netflix Uk. All help appreciated.

    My understanding is that unblock-us.com will redirect to US equivalents for all the services on the list on their website, all other services should work as normal.

    How do you get round the non US post code/Credit card thing?

    You may not need them.
    For most devices you can use an existing UK account and change to and from between UK and US content as you wish.
    Some devices like Blu Ray players and TVs you will need a US account to activate the device so for a zip code try 90210. Not too sure about the credit card though.

    Cheers -had read that. I can't change settings on Roku and don't think I can change them on my BT HomeHub as I think I have a static IP. Suppose I can set up the Wii in the living room but that would be a bit of a pain

    You can get the US Netflix on a UK account on the Roku, you would have change the setting on the router though and looking around the BT Homehub looks to be pretty locked down.
