Oh I see
Its definately an UnblockUS thing as Netflix don't seem to mind.On iPhone when you use the app you get a prompt telling you about roaming and that content may differ between countries of use. |

IP address would be different, so if it went by IP address it would not have stopped.

Has anyone managed to get Netflix on the WD Live Tv that doesn't have wifi built in ?
I also have one of those in the bedroom and sure it can be flashed or something |

not working for me on PS3 anymore. Went to Log in and gives me the error - unable to connect to netflix. Had it set to US DNS. wont log in, 360 has normal UK and works
Edit: Yea, when I reverted the PS3 Network settings back to normal Netflix was open again to me. Looks like the DNS trick on PS3 has been stopped. |

As a guess I would say that you do not actually pay anything to use the DNS you used on your PS3? You need to goto http://unblock-us.com/ ,sign up and pay $4.99 a month. If of coarse you do actually pay then you need to goto http://unblock-us.com/ and click 'Check Service' which will reactivate your account. |

Yes, but those DNS servers are *their* DNS servers. I would imagine they have clamped down on unauthorised usage because so many people have using Unblock-US without paying.
Pay Unblock-US: they allow your IP address to use their DNS servers. Do not pay Unblock-US: they do not allow your IP address to use their DNS servers. At one point you could use it on a console without paying, because of the way they verified IPs, but they have tightened things up now. |

Occasionally you have to log in on your PC and click 'Check Service' to get it going again.

Most portable devices like phones, consoles etc allow you to use your existing UK account. Other devices like TV's, Blu Ray players will need to have a US account as you would need to activate the device with a code. |

I doubt they'd do that. Netflix actually advertises the fact that you can "roam" with it, and watch other content when in another country.

Anyone else struggling to get HD content to work properly? It seems to cut in and out a lot or not work at all. Has happened for a weeks now...and I'm not the only one of my friends with the same issue, all on good speedy networks.

Ok I'm all up and running now, must say though it's a good idea to sign up to netflix before using unblock us as Netflix would go to the us site to sign in which isn't possible from the uk as we don't have zip codes
I have it installed on my iPad and WD live tv and have all us content working a treat Many thanks for the advice |

If they have a mobile phone with a browser, they could also do it with that.

Problems last night for some reason, lots of reloading, but i am not sure if that was my internet. got up this morning and found no network. i had to unplug router and plug it back in to get sync.
Not sure why that happened, maybe I got my SNR a little bit too low |
