i understand there is a workaround to get netflix on a sony bravia bluray player, if so can someone explain how i can do this?

See the PM I sent you

I want to do this too, but at the moment I just can be bothered to cancel my UK account, create a US account to get the player activated.
If only it was a simple case of changing DNS and activating through the account I already have.

I have tried to alter the DNS settings but no joy

What exactly have you done so far?

To change the DNS make the follow selections:
Network Settings>Internet Settings>Wired>Custom>Auto>Manual>input DNS numbers>No>Save.
Once you change the DNS you need to refresh the Internet content list. Highlight the video section and press options on the remote then select Update List. Netflix should now appear in the list.

You will also need to input the DNS settings into a device with a browser(or directly into your router) to create a US Netflix account to activate the player to use the service.

So I need to play with my router as well? I have a TalkTalk one so help

Just checked my router and it a Huawei HG521

So I know nothing about setting this up with information to get Netflix so easy instructions would be good?

Thankyou

I have used Unotelly. They give instructions on their website. No need to alter settings in router. They will give you the DNS you need. You can then enter them into your pc network settings and into your bluray. You can also use Amazon Instant Video on the bluray and this comes under the free Unotelly package. Netflix is premium package which is aprox 3.50 I think. You also get lots more via pc eg. EpixHD, HBO and more. Unotelly do a free trial so you can give it a try.

Think I will give that one a miss !

Instead of messing around with your router, why don't you just enter the DNS settings into your PC/Laptops network settings?

Thanks GONZO, I wish new this months ago, I've been using my xbox and i grudge paying for a gold membership to get to us netflix.

Cheers

I have tried this and it dosn't work I just cannot get anythIng !

Bugger, I thought it was too good to be true.

Getting an error message now, once i logged into Netflix

Grrrr

You can only do it with an actual setup US Netflix account.
Log into your Netflix account and click on Manage Devices then disconnect devices (it may take a little time for the player to tell you it's been deactivated) then try the following.

What exactly have you done and what do you see on screen?
Without any info other than 'I just cannot get anything' it's pretty hard to work out what the problem is.
Once it's done you should see THIS once you have refreshed the list.

Link not working so try THIS instead

Followed instructions to the word,

And I get the following error

"The service cannot be accessed at this time because the server replied with incorrect or invalid information"

Any ideas GONZO?

cheers

Did you try doing this by activating it with the same Netflix account you setup for UK Netflix?

I was registered with Netflix US, and it works a treat on my Xbox, but screwy on my Sony Blu-ray

so annoyed with it at the moment,

Watching Family Guy on my Xbox netflix US at the moment.


GRRRR

Mmmmm I don't know.
I get that message because I thought it was because I was activating with my UK account but logging in via US server.

Mmmmm, you could be right maybe my xbox doesn't recognize that that its a UK account, maybe after all this time even though i set up the free trial on US server but im charged on a UK account.

Have a read through the following link as its discussed at length.

Thanks for your help,

I did a quick test, and signed up a new free US trial, and logged in, and it worked first time.

I guess it's just not happy on the Bluray, but fine on the Xbox. Oh well it either cancel the UK subs and go for a full US account or just stick with the Xbox netflix instead.

Cheers again GONZO
