Recommendations on Netflix
I'm finding Netflix great. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to watch?
I recommend NZ TV series Outrages Fortune. There are six seasons and have watched them all. I had never heard of the show until Netflix and was surprised how good it was. |

My recommendation? Subscribe to a US VPN service to unlock the full potential of Netflix.

Also are there any speed issues with connecting to the US rather than UK site i.e. more buffering, more dropping to SD quality etc? In addition would this work on all my netflix compatible devices i.e. PS3, 360, Wii etc or only on the PC? Sorry to take the thread off track but would be interested to know. Back to the original thread, I have been enjoying on Netflix Arrested Development Drawn Together Borgia (highly recommended if you enjoyed Rome) Have watched various films too though the quality (of the films themselves, PQ generally very good and HD) is a bit variable, King of Kong was quite memorable simply for its quirkiness. |

I've been considering this but not sure just how much difference there is i.e. whether the amount of content the US site has over the UK one is worth it.

I haven't had any issues with slowness or extra buffering through a VPN but then I have a good Internet connection. As far as I am aware it can be pretty easily set up on other devices but I only watch it through my laptop connected to my TV via HDMI. |

No issues as all comes from the same place and you login using your existing account.Quote:

Just visit unblock-us.com and follow instructions on how to set up each device or if you prefer just setup your router instead. After a 7 day trial it's about £3.20 a month thereafter. |

Tempted to try it. If I decide it isn't worth it or I'm just not using Netflix enough for it to be worth it can I cancel unblock without penalty? |

Sounds very good, like the idea of being able to switch between the UK and US site too to ensure I don't lose any UK exclusives, is setting this feature up explained on the site too?
Tempted to try it. If I decide it isn't worth it or I'm just not using Netflix enough for it to be worth it can I cancel unblock without penalty? With regards to switching between the two I've just given my Wii 2 wireless connections: Connection 1) As you've already got setup. Connection 2) Setep roughly the same as connection 1, but with the addition of Unblock-US DNS settings. It does mention changing your router settings in each of the instructions which is optional as you already have Netflix already. (originally you had to sign up to a US Netflix account before it came to our shores) Unblock-US has a pay monthly option which you can cancel anytime or a one off yearly payment which works out slightly cheaper. |

The idea of being able to access the US Netflix is really appealing but is it legal?
Since the whole things with Megavideo et al kicked off I've been a bit paranoid about the Feds coming and dragging me off to Gauntanamo |

Netflix has been my saving grace since I've been at home with flu for the past few days. I've just watched the first series of Damages. I'd never heard of it and loved it. I also watched Firefly again - amazing.

Flash Point starring Donnie Yen has recently been added. If you liked the awesome Ip Man (also on Netflix) then no doubt Donnie caught your attention. In this movie he's a cop. It's a bit like Infernal Affairs with more action. Very good watch!

Unfortunately I couldn't wait and downloaded 3 & 4. There was no other way to watch it in the UK. S4 is quite simply outstanding. It's amongst the best series ever made IMO. |
