I don't mind using unblock-us but it's a bit of a faff to keep changing the IP each time - but then i'm probably just lazy
You don't need to keep changing the IP all the time.
Once you've input the DNS settings into the player all you need to do is change between Auto and Custom when you want to change between services.

once signed up how do you add it to 2010 devices?
go to unblock-us and follow instructions for device, but make sure you've got a US Netflix account and not a UK account otherwise it will not work.

When you've changed between Auto and Custom then you go to video or music selection press options then select update list.
After the DNS has been stored in the memory then the whole process takes around 30-40 seconds to switch between the 2 lots of content.

P.S if you didn't already know then you also get the US content for Crackle which has 194 movies compared to our 36.

205 actually

Just sorted it - the DNS settings did save. I'm sure they hadn't done previously.

It might be because i'd gone back to my router settings and reset the settings and clicked on Internet Protocol 6 again.

Dunno. Anyway, it's working ok now. Need to work out a US Netflix account now, since i've already had one in the UK

Cheers for the info

*edit*

Woo! US Netflix sorted

*edit #2*

Just activated on my BluRay .. I may be some time

start here for a US netflix account. i've just used this and it's worked fine - make sure you check your ZIP code is a real one as well.
