    You can use unblock us for Hulu and many other streaming sites.

    No way of paying for Hulu Plus atm though :cry:

    @ graxity

    You're a star.
    Many,many thanks.
    Have been wanting to see a film,I haven't seen in 26 years,(not available on DVD)and read online that it was on Netflix,but couldn't find it on the UK version,so I assumed it was only on the US version,and now after reading your post,are about to settle down to watch it!
    Thanks again.


    So what was the film????? Did I miss the reply?
    Hold on, I know I'm spectacularly stupid, but I can't even find the Netflix app???

    Did you resolve this? I had this issue and fixed it. You can find the solution on the Web but essentially the TV/Video Services had disappeared for me from the XMB. What I had to do (and this sounds weird but worked) was delete PS Home (I hate that thing and never use it) and then re-install it. That somehow made the TV/Video thing appear again. I kid you not!!! Worked for me anyway.

    I stupidly did the DNS thing through the router during the whole carry on with Netflix USA stopping working. Put on my PS3, which I used for the uk Netflix, it is now got the US stuff. Is their adze fault DNS for the UK or is it a certain setting for virgin in the uk?

    If you changed the dns on your router, that means that every device connecteing via the router (e.g. laptop, Wii, PS3, xbox, ipad, mobile phone etc) will all be using that dns. therefore they will all should the US catalogue.

    If you only want to access US netlfix on one device, they you should remove the dns from your router and simply apply the dns locally on the device which should be accessing the US catalogue

    I know, I don't know what the DNS should be though. I just delete it from the router altogether or do I add a UK DNS.?

    If you wish to use your ISPs DNS then set it to get it automatically.

    If you want to use one from a service like unblockus to access US content then enter:

    Primary DNS 208.122.23.22
    Secondary DNS 208.122.23.23

    if you dont want to set it up automatically, you can see the DNS for your ISP at http://www.whatsmydns.net/dns/uk/

    in order to access US Netlfix, you need to go to the unblock-us site via the ps3 browser first to log on to unblock-us. Then fire up Netflix and everything should be hunky dory

    Just digging around the net to see how popular unblock us is. I've been using it a month and it is great
    I paid for 12 months. For those of you running dynamic IP addresses, try using something like dyndns nd programing the DNS settings in to your router. It works fine for me and means I don't have to keep going on the unblock us website.


    By the way, if you don't want to register for dyndns, unblock us have their own you can use.
